Sending you so much love for a really special day. I've no idea who you and your OH are in real life, but reading of your wedding made me feel emotional, quiet tearful. May the memories carry you forwards,
with love WattyMade it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!6 -
Oh my - lovely RT & MrRT, wishing you a wonderful day. Clearly no piece of paper on this earth can make your relationship mean more than it already does, but having a day to celebrate it - and particularly with a couple of your closest people too, is a very nice thing indeed.rtandon27 said:Dearest Forum Friends,Please hold us in your thoughts and prayers tomorrow, November 11th at 4pm.After nearly twenty years together, we have chosen to marry in a small, personal ceremony with two friends as our witnesses. It will be quiet, meaningful, and very much in keeping with who we are.The decision to formalise things now has been shaped, in part, by OH's recent diagnosis. His time with us is limited, and while the road ahead is uncertain, our love and commitment remain steady.We ask that you think of us tomorrow, with kindness in your heart.
Much love, RT & OH
