Partner left after 9 yrs - 18months on, reunited !

[AliSuddenly]

Kat, Mish, Julia, Jeff.. thank you SO much! Hey it was a joint effort for a while there and thanks to all you guys, yes, made it to here and we do have a better R than ever before.

Maria - thanks to you to my friend. It will hopefully be in the summer, this year, if not next year (no idea!) but you will need a hat and gloves, becuase a British summer is like your winter !! I'm getting nervous about this speech already ;-) but yes, you will most definetly be guest of honour.

So its a beautiful ring, very classy and elegant. To think he had already decided months ago and I was really wondering why he hadnt asked me! I was just joking to him the other day that he was secretive and he insisted he wasnt! Ha, well, good at keeping secrets I would say. I couldnt have kept that quiet for 5 months!!

Becuase it was impromptu, we had to celebrate with a premade supermarket lasagne, oven chips, salad and a bottle of Cava !! Hey we know how to live the high life

But then he ran and got his ipod and speakers and played THAT song, the one I posted here a few times (The Longpigs, On and On), the one that used to make me cry when I missed him so dreadfully, our song.. which he took to be our song too. He told me a few months ago that he would never listen to the Longpigs when he was with Helen, he couldnt bare to (guess she must have tried to!)..anyway, so he played it and it made me cry all over again as we had a slow dance round the lounge.

I cant believe you can go from being SO devastated, to SO happy, happier than ever, in the space of a year. We have no plans yet, but I want it to be a FUN wedding and everyone to have time to get to know each other and a band and relaxed and informal and.. well, I need to rob a bank to afford it, but it will be magical.
