A wedding break

October 21st, 2009 at 11:13

I am getting married to my wonderful Lorenza on Saturday. This afternoon her mother and sister are arriving from Italy. So I expect to be too busy to blog for a bit, at least until the beginning of November. I will still be monitoring comments for the next few days, but perhaps not in the week after the wedding. When I’m back I hope to be able to post some photos.

    Peter,

    Please do not monitor comments in the week after the wedding; enjoy your life instead. (I think the two are mutually exclusive.)

    Congrats,
    -JAK

  3. Ben Says:

    Enjoy all the great memories you will be creating in the coming weeks.

    We will happily supply a bunch of crazy comments while you are gone!! ;-) .

    All the best to you and your wife to be Peter. Have a good look around on the day and soak it up, it all goes very quickly.

  5. Barry Says:

    Congratulations! Enjoy your time with your bride and forget the blog for a while. The world will continue just fine without you!

  6. Ruud Vermeij Says:

    Congratulations

  7. Peter M. Lopez Says:

    Congratulations! The blog world can wait. Enjoy!

  8. Bill Says:

    Congrats indeed, Peter. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy!

    I guess you won’t be live blogging from the ceremony, then. Or the honeymoon…

  9. David Ker Says:

    You can’t get off that easy. As your extended online family we insist that you post photos of the wedding and honeymoon so we can share in your joy. 8)

  10. Peter Kirk Says:

    Thanks for all the congrats. No, I won’t be live blogging from the ceremony, and certainly not from the honeymoon! As for posting photos, I will if I’m allowed to. But since I have preached mutual submission, I’ll have to submit to my wife!

  11. Bitsy Griffin Says:

    I wanna see the pictures when you get back! Please beg for permission ;)

  12. Doug Chaplin Says:

    Peter, I hope this brings you (both) great happiness for as long as you both shall live

  13. John Meunier Says:

    Bless each other.
    Bear light for each other.
    Love each other.

  14. T.C. R Says:

    Yes indeed! Congrats to you and Lorenza! Here’s a suggestion: recite your vows in Greek. :-D

  15. Martin Jackson Says:

    Congratulations and best wishes, Peter and Lorenza. I was phoned yesterday by our local Registrar to ask me to decipher the names on the most recent marriage return that I’ve sent in. So I wish you a wonderful day, a happy marriage, and a legible Vicar ;-)

  16. Joel Says:

    Congrats, Peter.

  17. Peter Kirk Says:

    Thanks for more congratulations.

    T.C, that wouldn’t work as sadly Lorenza doesn’t know Greek. We could have gone for Italian vows – but I think by law they have to be in English here.

    Martin, our vicar is an Arab and his written English looks like Arabic. But I think the church administrator keeps him in order on things like this. Anyway it’s his problem and the registrar’s, and I’ve got enough little things to worry about without that one!

    Congratulations. You should take a year off like the ancient Hebrew men did. But whatever you do, take everything David Ker says with a grain of salt!

  20. TL Says:

    congratulations. Looking forward to the pictures. Much Aloha!

  21. jane Says:

    Félicitations!
    May married life keep both of you happy and healthy.
    Blessings!

  22. Peter Kirk Says:

    We had a great day. Not much time online before we rush off again, but you may be able to get a first glimpse of what the wedding looked like here.
