Congratulations :thumbsup:

I am indeed and I've just realised that the only blokes I know here are in their late 50s or early 60s. They are hardly stag material. Oh well, I'll stick a rum in my Ovaltine.

Being one of the rum in his Ovaltine brigade just let me wish you and Souvette all the very best for tomorrow. :)

Might that not be a bit chilly to contemplate at this time of year?

Congratulations. Have a virtual beer on me.

AX

he's going to be naked and chained to a lamppost as it is. Isn't that enough without getting him to pour his virtual beer over somebody eles before drinking it? I mean, body shots are one thing, but (with all due respect to you, AX) there are usually nubile ladies involved rather than craggy Newfoundlanders...

Congrats to you both, Souv, hope tomorrow goes swimmingly.

Oh, we have a terribly romantic day lined up. Straight from the notary's office to the STO office, to renew her bus pass. Then, for added excitement, we'll renew her health card. I can barely contain my urine.

I think a spot of lunch may follow. She has a notion of then hitting the movies to watch "Australia". Ahem. A 2 hours and 45 minutes chick-flick?

**** that.

She can wait until December for the honeymoon.

An "ending" is on the cards at some point during the day. Tradition, innit?

So if I were to drive past Taboo and Pigale's later today would I see you tied to a lamp post?

You seem to be more than a little familiar with the lower end of Blvd Greber.;)

Do you shop there?

Aaaaawwwww, how romantic.

We got married in Vegas, our honeymoon slap up feast was a plate of natchos before heading to see a Cirq show. My better half was pregnant at the time so even Rum in my ovaltime was not an option. We've absolutely no regrets, you do what you want to do!

Best of luck. Hope the sun shines for you.

No sign of a shotgun there, then.:lol:

I've just taken delivery of a big bouquet of flowers. My boss is more of a softie than I thought.

Awww thats so sweet - hang on - your boss bought you flowers:confused:

I think I'm safe. The boss (she) is in her early 60s and has zero time/interest with regard to romance. I think she had a boyfriend once, about 20 years ago.

There was a bit of urgency as UK citizenship law at the time meant we didnt want to have a little bastard;) There were other reasons too, and that law changed in time for it not too have mattered anyway. We dont have family here to throw a big do for and never wanted anything too serious, so it was ideal just to go have some fun with it. It was pretty cost effective too.

No regrets anyway, cant beat Elvis doing the nuptuals. Young, thin, tanned, buff Elvis, (with half unbuttoned shirt) as my wife likes to remind me...

There isn't much to shop there. I have had to drive along that road on the way to Costco for cheap beer and also in the area for some work related things.

From what I know of the shops on that road, I'm inclined to ponder what, exactly, your line of work is?

You don't need to do that. The act of getting married is adequate in communicating the message: "I've lost my sanity."

Had to visit the Jean Coutu location along there for meetings as I was doing planning consulting work for Jean Coutu at a number of Ottawa and eastern Ontario locations and the rest of the consultant team are 819 based.

It is a desolute stretch of road by any stretch.

All the best for tomorrows festivities.
