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.
