As we're both quite happy with our jobs and with living here we it was time to tie the knot at last. We haven't chosen the date for the wedding but I expect it be sometime in September. Of course, we'll you as as we decide. I really you'll be able to come.

What ? Oh yes, I you know that Anne and Harry to America. Harry got a new job working at McDonald's head office, so they're now living in Oak Brook, Illinois. I had a from Anne a couple of weeks and she seems quite happy. We'll probably try to visit them later in the year - after the wedding.
