10 november 2007: booyaa and i got married
take a look at the photos :)
thank you, e2, for bringing us together in the first place. it was love at first sight, which happened at the sensible thing - a noder picnic in hyde park. and though we both tried hard to avoid it at the start, it soon became clear (at the truly superb bristol international nodermeet) that we'd have to give in and fall deep, deeper, deepest. so we did.
i can't believe life is so complex
when i just want to sit here and watch you undress...
