It's finally done! Under a canopy of organza of indeterminate age and colour, our vows were exchanged and we are now Mr and Mrs Wilson not only in our hearts but legally in the eyes of the world. The ceremony was witnessed by just 2 of our closest friends, Nigel and Susie, but this was enough to make it legal and binding. A touch of hysterics ensued when I misheard the registrar ask if we would raise our hands and "beat each other until the last drop of blood"! What he actually said was "be together until the last drop of blood", but we could be forgiven for the misunderstanding given his Malaysian accent and the surreal nature of the whole event.
The vows were exchanged, the rings placed on the fingers, the register signed and witnessed and we were married! The whole thing took 10 minutes or so and the sense of anticlimax felt by many couples after their wedding ceremony didn't exactly affect us since we were hard pressed to find a climax. A couple of glasses of very nice champagne (thank you Nigel...) in a nearby hotel did much to assuage any nerves that may have lingered and set the scene nicely for our party in the evening. Stay tuned for Mr & Mrs Part 2.....
