Blimey. Anyway, for those that might be interested, here’s the account of my first meeting with my new husband.

https://singletrackmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/last-word-the-same-sort-of-different/

The final mag version had a little editing because when Chipps read the first draft he said it ‘sounds like you’re in love with Mr Freeride’. But - just to be clear, you lot - no carnal acts or anything were edited out! Nothing remotely like that happened, but I was pretty convinced that he was The Guy nonetheless. Is love at first sight a thing? Maybe.

Anyway, flowers are picked, dress is more or less uncreased, nails are unpainted because I don’t have the skills. Off to the registry office in an hour!

Wedding flowers

Thanks to the many of you who have provided encouraging words along the way. An ocean, a pandemic and an international travel ban haven’t always made things easy, and quite a few of you have said something helpful just when it was needed. Xx

I think what we all want to know is where's the evening do?.......
......and is it a free bar?

Congratulations - hope you have a great day and a long and happy life together!

I think what we all want to know is...

What the heck are you doing posting on here with an hour to go?

As you've got the day off, will you be at the MNPR tonight?

You you own a white waterproof?

(and congratulations obviously).

Wouldn't that require the happy occasion to turn into some kind of nightmare involving sudocreme, powerful laxatives, badgers and lease cars..?

You may kiss the groom

Dress: borrowed from a friend!
