Just married nearly three weeks ago in fact! Hence my lack of blogging or interest in anything computer related over the past month or so, since there has been so much to do and organise.

My wife Sophia and I had a fantastic day. We were married at Romsey Abbey in Hampshire which proved to be a spectacular setting for the marriage service and a great backdrop for our (many) photographs.

The reception was also really enjoyable and my speech seemed to go down well with everyone, which was a relief considering I wrote it on the morning of the wedding!

There were some slight hiccups. Closer inspection of my marriage certificate revealed some embarrassing spelling errors on my father's, Sophia's and my occupation description. Not sure who the illiterate person was who filled out the details but I'm trying to get it changed.

Then there was the debacle over our (rather expensive) wedding cake. The staff at the reception cut portions of the cake so everyone could have a piece. Overnight it transpired that the reception venue staff had dumped the remainder of the cake in the bin, without any consultation with our parents or Sophia and I! Even worse, I recently found out that some of the staff had been helping themselves to bits of the cake while the evening party was going on.

For honeymoon we decided to go to Paphos in Cyprus for two weeks. The first five days were quite relaxing and then Sophia fell ill with a nasty stomach virus. Things got so bad that she ended up in hospital for three days. When she was released there was a strict diet for her to follow, so we were pretty much confined to the hotel for the remainder of the holiday. I didn't expect to be tested on the 'sickness and in health' vow quite so soon!

Problems aside, we still had a great time together and there's still a day or so for us to enjoy together before we head back to work.
