Decades on... do you? You bet I did....

Thinking back, as one does, to my special day on its anniversary, I remembered needing Dutch Courage to prepare me for the ordeal I was about to endure. My future mother-in-law had begged me not to marry her lovely daughter. I was apparently ‘unsuitable’. (But I would marry her anyway!)

My trusty Best Man Peter was in charge, so how he allowed me, and him, to consume three vodka and tonics each immediately before the ceremony I’ll never know. But I do know that my “I do!” was the very loudest the pretty country church had ever withstood!
