I said yes

After 25 years of living together a chance conversation at the hospice has got the staff all excitedly planning a wedding. Brian was concerned about how I would manage finacialy after he had gone because his private pension would stop and I wouldn't be intitaled to any benifits because we are not married. So they said why not get married then. I laughly said to much hard work getting him to colchester regestry office. Then they well get married here. Brians eyes lit up and he said will you marry me and I said yes. As I said its only taken 25 years and psp to catch me. Janexx

Congratulations to you both. I read your post to our night nurse and she said "ah, that's lovely", and we are sitting here with smiles on our faces. I think I'll crack open a bottle and toast you both. Enjoy the preparations.

Sending you a big happy hug.

Lieve in reply to peterjones

Hey Peter - it's actually Flemish (Belgian), short for Godelieve, which means Beloved by God (aren't you sorry you asked!). A good friend in England named her little girl Nieve, which I believe is also Irish. How are you, Peter? I always enjoying reading your comments with lots of mate thrown in :-). I have a very good friend in Australia, Larissa. She lives in Taringa, near Brisbane, Queensland. Is that close to you? Take good care x

hi lieve well MATE im not sorry I asked because you are never to old to learn and believe me I feel old today for some reason or other oh I remember now I had a fall this morning it always shakes me up after one or two falls not wines or beers MATE yes I think that's a bad habit I have got into I use the word mate for everyone and use it far to often sorry mate

in actual fact I was thinking of the name of nieve when I asked you if you had irish descent but it escaped me at the time \\\ like so many things these days older age matey \\ and yes I do know Taringa I used to live in Toowong which is the next suburb to there but I sold up and moved to a place called Kenmore which is only up the road from there

and no I do not know your friend we are fairly populated here you know us colonials\\\ well mate its been nice having a chat with you so now I will say

kom= ban= wah which is good evening in japanese

not Flemish actually I was over in Belgium some years ago and I bought two apples and the shop=-keeper caught me he charged me 5 pound for two apples and gave me some change which I thought was nice but the tour guide said to me what did you give him for the apples and I told him what money I had given and then he said to me they have just cost you 5 pounds I know its nothing now but back in 81 I think it was it must have been worth a bit more anyway good luck to him the shopkeeper not the tour guide and we were only passing through anyway that's that name of lieve must have brought that on and look at that not a mate word in sight so see yer lieve take care best wishes peter jones queensland Australia an old psp er

Wonderful! Liz and I did something similar. It made a difference for us. We feel sort of in it together more.

We were initially advised it would make finances more 'efficient'. However it quickly became a lasting love commitment. (After thirteen years).

Congratulations!
