Does anyone care? Anyone?
Jen is getting married this year.
I'm getting married this year.
Two and counting....
Jo - congratulations - when are you getting married?
And, thanks, Garth, for the shout.
Congratulations. But I certainly hope neither of you winds up in either the category of "No-Teeth Smiles" or "Bald or Nearly Bald Grooms."
Jen - May 21.
Congrats to you as well - sometime in March?
Good to know dog trumps rooster.
Tiny ceremony on March 25 - and then a party in April (I'm milking this marriage stuff all I can). And this year is much better than last if you believe in Chinese superstitions, as my friends who got married last year are now worried.
Congratulations to both of you!
