nice day for a white wedding

Weddings are always historic events, to a greater or lesser extent. Their dates are the ones we record, remember, recall fondly, and occasionally panic over forgetting. Each anniversary is a new milestone in our lives.

Last week my best friend KT got married. It was historic for a number of reasons, not least because none of us had properly appreciated that, beneath her hard and cynical exterior, there beat the heart of a Disney princess who wanted nothing more than a perfect wedding to the man of her dreams.

It was also the first wedding to take place in the grounds of Peel Castle on the Isle of Man. We're currently trying to find out when the last wedding was conducted at the cathedral in Peel Castle (if any ever were), but given that the cathedral has been in disuse since the 1800s, it's fairly safe to say this was the first wedding at the castle in at least a century.

And it was also one of my first outings as a newly-trained Registrar for Ceremonies, and I am utterly delighted that I could be the one to pronounce Adam and KT husband and wife.

Congratulations, you pair of wonderful, beautiful freaks. <3
