I can't wait for that , this is what it is all about, I would have died of a broken heart if I could not share this day (or the run up with its stresses and fights)and sure that if I flew Oz to Uk, I would have not wanted to come back!!! 
The other side of that to is that my Dad could not give me away in Australia, so this is very important for me.
Basically, if my life came to an end now, I can honestly say I am surrounded by those that count, I would not be saying "Geez, what a fabulous Beamer I have on the drive".
Good luck

Same here pasty man. Hopefully we will never have to go back, but If we did have to, we would probably move to Spain and not back to England.
We have only been here just over 2 months, but have settled in perfectly and have a new car, house, our doggie here etc.....I have got a job and hope to finish my studies here. Jonathan loves his new job and the more laid back life style!
We have met lots of new friends and even tho they are not like and cannot be compared our old friends back in UK we have had lots of good nights out with them and they call us for chats etc......in fact we have a busier social life here than we did in the UK, think its because we make more of an effort here.
We havent for one minute even missed the UK, and regularly talk on messenger to all our pals there.
However, The only thing that worries me is my parents, when they get old,or if they get ill how will i cope then?????
They are comming out for our wedding next year so hopefully they will like it so much here and want to stay and then I will try and sell my house in UK and use the money for a parents visa, to get them out here.....
Ideally we would love to stay here for ever and get Citizanship, then if at anystage we do need to return to the UK because of parents, at least we know it will only be temp and we can always come back home to Aus.....
