why wy?

It started as a quiet civil wedding at the registry to get the paperwork so that we can buy a flat, and now it is dawning on me that keeping it small is going to be hard. You can't have a wedding without some family, and you can't invite family and not serve some food, and if you only have family there they will drive you crazy so you need some friends for support...

Already, mum is talking about making fruitcake for the cake (which will be good cos I haven't had her unhealthy fruitcake with butter and eggs and whisky for ages), my long-time gal pal of 19 years (I am godmother to her 3 year old) has volunteered madly to be wedding planner, despite my insistence, we have to keep it small. But I feel like such a cad saying no to a flower girl, and so I suspect the same thing is going to play out repeatedly.

I don't even want to think about the guest list.

But enough about me. A big welcome to the world to Kai David Wee, age 1 day.
