Today has been a special day as today is the day Julie and Andrew finally got married.
Quietly.
With no fuss.
After they cancelled the last time, they tried to plan it in between chemo sessions, for when Julie was likely to be at least chance of infection and feeling the best she possibly could be. They did not want to wait until after her treatment had completed, because that seemed so far away, but they did not want to announce it to loads of guests in case they had to cancel it again. Also because Julie is self concious of the way her looks have changed and the way her senses have been affected by the tumour and chemo, she wanted it as quiet and intimate as possible.
So they decided to get married with just themselves, and two witnesses present, and that was me and Dean.
Although extremely honoured that they had asked us, I was surprised, but they explained to us that we were the only ones that knew both of them before they met, and as it was us that introduced them, it felt symbolic and right for them. And as it happens, their wedding day was exactly a year to the day that I told Julie about Andrew. Fate or what!!
And so they got married, the bride was radiant, the groom was nervous and the witnesses had a tear in their eye.
It was beautiful and emotional and we had a lovely Italian meal afterwards.
Then we all went home for a nap (not together).
How Rock and Roll!!!....But just the way they wanted it.
Congratulations Mr and Mrs Hamnett...may your luck start changing from now xxx
About me.
Lets get things into perspective.
I don't run. In fact, sometimes I struggle to walk. I have arthritis in my knees and back and I am overweight. By quite a lot.
So why have I decided to run a 10K event?
Well, in the space of a month, my friend's partner and then another close friend have found out that they have cancer. Both dont deserve to have to face this.
This is my way of showing support and hopefully to raise money for Cancer Research. Hopefully by documenting my journey, I can stay focused and encourage people to stay interested enough to sponsor me on this epic adventure.
Perfect couple xx
