Loved up in London - Kurt & Di Get Married!

---

Yep, no jokes, we finally tied the knot!

Sorry that we had to keep it a secret but we didn't want certain family members dropping everything & flying over here - we would have loved to have had family & friends here with us, but we felt it wasn't fair to ask at such short notice.

We applied for approval to marry in the UK as part of Kurt's visa application & when we returned from our trip home it was here waiting for us. The only catch was that it had to be used within 3mths, and it certainly got us thinking & the chance of a summer wedding in london followed by a croatian honeymoon was too good to pass up.

The other deciding factor was that if we didn't do it now, then when ? It may be a little while before we return home & we didn't want to wait any longer.
We never intended to have a long engagement but extending our round the world tour threw a spanner in the works.

So at 2:45pm on Friday 3rd of August, Di & I, plus our flatmates turned witnesses Troy & Carrie, found ourselves at the Chelsea town hall registry. It was an amazing day. The sun shone, the sky was blue & everything went off without a hitch. The ceremony was short & sweet & afterwards we headed to battersea park for some photos & refreshments.

This was followed by a great meal & ended with drinks with friends at a nearby pub. We couldn't have asked for anything more & consider ourselves very lucky. Our room was even upgraded to a suite (the best room in the place -complete with spar, steam room, powder room, wir's & the biggest/most comfortablebed imaginable) due to a faulty TV!

Thanks to both our families for being so supportive of our decision, and sorry to those who were hoping to get an invite to our Thailand wedding!

Who knows - maybe Thailand for vow renewals??!
