...and you're going to get married. I have to shout a hearty CONGRATULATIONS to K and M who tied the knot at lunchtime today. Ordinarily I wouldn't use the blog for such an occasion but as I'm still totally wiped out from this flu bug I am not able to attend the celebrations tonight. And very upset I am about this too. So I'm going to tell you why I'm so upset to not be there.
I work with K and have done for the past 6 years. We had what can only be described as a sticky beginning, a wee bump in the road that they call life. However, we got over this and I believe that we have cemented a firm friendship. Throughout the many conversations we've had we discovered that we share a lot of the same thoughts and opinions and her K-ism's are frankly hilarious (salami anyone?); summing up, K gets filed under my "fab" folder. I'm sure she'd agree that bumps in the road had been a regular thing but when she met M, it seems to have been plain sailing all the way. He's from a lovely family who have embraced K lovingly, as have his firmly established and loyal friends, he's totally grounded, in other words, he's lovely husband material. I was thrilled when they got engaged in Rome last year and equally delighted to be invited to share in their celebrations. There has been one other thing that has set K apart from most brides-to-be: I think I can count on one hand the number of wedding-related conversations I've had with her over the past year. She's gone about it quietly, being super organised without relating every single detail. I can honestly say that the conversations I've had have been delightful, and the excitement over what she's had to show me or tell me has been totally genuine.
So K and M, here's to you both. I hope you've had a wonderful day, and from the bottom of my sentimental old heart, I wish you much more of the long, silly, merry and laughter-filled life that you obviously share. You're a fab couple and I don't think I'll ever be more disappointed than I am that I'm not there to share your special day xx

Aw, bless. Were you crying when you wrote that, Dizz? It's ok, you have an excuse, we know you're feeble because of the bug.
Good luck K (and M, tho I've never met u).
