OK. Nik has already posted about our initial decision to marry in September 2008. However, having played the game of “find-a-venue-we-both-quite-like-near-to-where we-live-and-which-isn’t-too-expensive”, we have now plumped for a Christmas wedding.
That’s right folks – this time next year we will be husband and wife, after what will no doubt be a brilliant day on the 20th December. Christmas trees, mulled wine and plenty of festive spirit. I can’t think of anything more perfect for my big day.
So even though I was dying (or felt like it) from flu, I think we still managed to pull off a pretty impressive Christmas this year. Which is good, as had it been rubbish, it would have ruined the fact that it was our first spent together in the house.

Me: Fine thanks.
Sales Rep: That’s right.
Me: <silence>
Sales Rep: You have been selected to receive a free Nokia mobile phone.
Me: Do you know who I am?
Sales Rep: No.
Me: <hangs up>
Oliver has started losing his teeth. In fact, he’s been teething for a while now, though you probably wouldn’t realise without being told; even teething, he still chews stuff a lot less than other Labradors do any other time.
Today I found a tooth under his bed. Judging by the dried blood on it, it had been there quite a while, so he won’t miss out on any money from the tooth fairy. I’m not even sure the tooth fairy does business with dogs.
Anyway, it surprised me because it’s a tooth from the back of his mouth–a wide tooth with a flat, triangular surface–but it’s the only tooth I’ve seen lying around. Surely, a tooth in the back of his mouth is more likely to be swallowed than any of his front teeth? But apparently not. He now has adult teeth right at the front of his mouth, but he seems to have swallowed them. Or deliberately eaten them.
Just waiting for him to get his grown-up canines now, to replace the one that I broke for him…
I am happy to announce that, as of November 14th, Charlie and I are engaged. I really don’t think I can describe how happy I am, so I won’t. We’ve had such an amazing time since we met, it feels like I haven’t stopped smiling even once!
We’re looking at setting a date after summer next year, late September or very early October, and we’re starting to experience the ‘joys’ of arranging a wedding. It really shouldn’t be as complicated as it feels.
