    Before Christmas I nearly posted a thread pondering when the MSG would become the MSW. Seems you've got one step nearer, huge congratulations. Look forward to a spate of wedding money-saving articles!

    Wonderful way to propose, genius! You'll be telling that story to the grandkids.

    Congratulations Martin and Lara!

    Table mountain must have something about it - my husband and I returned from our honeymoon in south africa last week.

    We wish you both all the best.

    Congratulations YOUNG Martin.

    I'll have to turn the aerial round again to watch C5)

    Congratulations both! Very clever and appropriate with the Scrabble too. I also think that Lara Lewis would be a more media friendly name btw...
