It's a date (and venue)!

Aff and I are getting married on March 31st 2007. The choice of venue was surprisingly painless - it was the first and only place we visited - a scout camp. Yes, that's right, Aff and I will be, quite literally it seems, tying the knot (and trust me, there's a hell of a lot more puns where that came from - scouts honour!). Due to not wanting to tell the world at large where it will be, and also to keep something for the big day, I will not say too much about the place. What I will say is that anyone who knows Aff and I would probably (or hopefully) agree that this place is perfect for us. Outdoors (but with plenty of indoor options), in the bush (but not in the middle of no where), and not terribly formal (though we may insist people at least where clothes). In truth, we haven't really made a lot of decisions about any of these things, but a venue and date - now that is good to have worked out early.

The choice of date was quite surprising as well. Aff and I were both resigned to the fact that we probably wouldn't get married until 2008, after our planned Italy trip next year (April till probably October). After speaking with the camp manager, who coincidentally got married only two years ago at the same scout camp, it became apparent that an early 2007 wedding was possible. The manager took us on a 1.5 hour guided tour of the whole park, with a fairly comprehensive historical overview of the entire scout movement thrown in. He was a great salesman to say the least, and made it all sound very achievable.

So that's that then. Saturday March 31, 2007. Keep it free!
