Happy Anniversary!!

Today is a very special day for me (time zone depending, may be next day now, but you get the gist of it).

Exactly one year ago today, I married the most beautiful girl in the world:

We have been together since we were 17/18, and after ‘courting‘ for 12 years we finally got married. I know everyone always says their wedding day is the happiest day of their life, and I have to join that club as literally everything about it was perfect. So why the hell am I telling you this? I’m not sure, not really movie related I know, but I wanted to do something public since I always get moaned at for spending too much time working on this blog. This time hopefully my blog efforts will be forgiven since it’s a nice personal post. 🙂

The flowers in the title image are from our wedding, and this post is full of our photos. I want to make this my most personal post yet, and since it’s nearly Christmas and a time for giving, this is me doing one post that I can show my family and friends without fear of a ‘nasty, horrible torture image‘ popping up like it frequently does on my reviews.

The wedding was set up for Christmas, decorations everywhere and complete with a 20ft tree. The best part was that like in ‘The Shining‘ we had the whole hotel booked out for just us and our guests.

This was the view from our room – picture perfect with a rainbow, a lake and snow topped mountains. Amazingly this is the area we live in. 10 minutes from our house and maybe we don’t always appreciate how lucky we are.

After the most amazing day and night, we set off on our Honeymoon the next day (not ideal, 15 hours travelling being hung over wasn’t great) but the location more than made up for it. This was our once in a lifetime trip to the Maldives.

This is the view from our ‘room on stilts‘

And the nice staff there set up our Honeymoon room for us:

I spent most of my week there sitting on our private deck waiting for Reef Sharks to swim by. They were very common in the area, and we have some great videos of them, one is of a shark fin getting closer and closer to my wife without her realising, and one is my jumping in after them, but this is a photo I took of one right below me.

The ‘what happens next‘ in this photo is me trying to touch the shark, which was greeted with lots of mutterings of ‘idiot‘ from the love of my life. Not supportive at all! I am fascinated by sharks, and despite some of them being the same size as me I just wanted to be near them. Crazy to some people I guess, but incredible to watch them.

Anyway, whilst I can’t persuade my wife – Carly – or our family to read my blog very often, I hope they are now, and so to them THANKYOU for making this day last year the best day ever. And Carly, thank you, for just being you. And putting up with me, always writing on my ‘stupid blog‘. 🙂 Happy Anniversary wifey 😛

To everyone else, apologies for the sentimental mushy lovey-dovey post. To make it a little site related, Head In A Vice has just turned 6 months old, so another reason for me to celebrate. I never thought anyone would really be reading my work, so to have had 46,575 views in 6 months has blown my little mind. Thank you to everyone that has visited, and continues to do so. Every visit, like and comment is appreciated more than you will ever know, and I can’t wait to carry on doing this and meeting more amazing people.

Thanks for reading, and I hope I can keep you all coming back for more. No more awards or anniversary posts this week I promise! 🙂
