You won't believe me
But yes, it's the second weekend of January, so sorry.

You must feel quite smug now. Being 4th out of 17 is pretty good. Now, to practise your salsas and tangos! Or maybe sevillanas?

Two days ago the photographer cancelled, so I spent yesterday trying to find another. We haven't signed contracts with the Finca or the catering service yet, because... I don't know why... they don't have them ready... We don't know yet the price of the menu (we have an idea, but have made quite a lot of changes)... and it's less than 4 months to go.

Yeah, this is why I'm not getting married
It's nowt to do with not being able to persuade Ms Foxtrot that it's a good idea, it's all about the organisation

But at least with you the "first dance" would be rather less awkward and embarrassing than most people's.

That's the one part of the idea I've got her sold on
Foxtrot to a song I won't divulge here. The more I talk about it the more she loves the idea. Hopefully eventually it will be sufficient to help her overlook the ghastly horror of being married to me

You don't need to do a traditional wedding party
Do a dancing wedding party. I'm sure she'll love that.

Mine is not going to be traditional, but doing things that we like, but I can't say much because BGB would miss the surprises.

Good strategising.
Actually, you could probaly make a living by hiring yourselves out to perform first dances on other people's behalf, as it does seem to cause undue stress. The happy couple could then follow you with something they can just jump about to in a non self concious way.

Did that once
Choreographed a Rumba for some friends to "As The World Falls Down" from Labyrinth. You read that correctly. Bizzarely some other friends are having exactly that as their first dance. It's not ideal as the timing is slightly quicker than a strict tempo Rumba. Bloody amateurs

It's not so bad
(it is quite, really)

I just got a phone call from my mother. The Bishop has agreed and I have his permission to marry Mark! Ey!

Thank you!
And finally. It's been 4 months of sorting papers. It should be all easy from now.

That means you'll be a GROWN-UP soon
Can we still be friends after that?

Yes, of course
But only if you teach our kids to dance, eh?

It's a deal
But assuming your children are gorgeous and adorable, Ms Foxtrot will be annoyed with you for filling my head with ideas of making our own
