Well done Amy - great news! :-)

I never called Angie my fiancee - it sounds too pretentious... Neither did I call her my partner as that made me sound gay... I just called her my girlfriend until I got married...

And now what do you call her (or shouldn't I ask)?

Congratulations!

But why oh why oh why, it will cost a fortune, there are no tax advantages, and therefore there is no financial payback or break-even analysis which could possibly justify the expense :twisted: :twisted:

(you can tell I am an economist with no sense of romance, but after 18 years, 2 huge mortgages and 2 children, why bother!!)

Good luck to you and your intended, I hope the wedding plans go well, don't think about the 'afterlife' until you get there
