However I'm quite upset personally as you feel you have taken the title of the most low-key wedding possible. I felt I had accomplished that...twice. Then again our quickest ceremony was in the US, lasting a whole 5 minutes max. Then again that's the one Beste was crying in....weird, eh?<BR/><BR/>Vegemite, what an awful present to receive, but perfect for you. I'm sure you psychically heart my "ugh!" I said outloud while reading that line.
