Congratulations to Tatyana and Garry

Hear Yiz, Hear Yiz, Hear Yiz,
It is with great pleasure we can announce that the totally-offical wedding of Garry to his beautiful bride took place this afternoon in Westminster Register Office.

A goodly collection of friends were present to witness the event and to wish the two of them well. A sumptuous feast (menu available on request, only modesty forbids the posting of it here) was subsequently consumed in the tasteful surroundings of the Landmark Hotel. Speeches were kept to a minimum. Three aue regulars and a lurker were there to represent that facet of Garry's accomplishments and to ensure the totally-official status of the wedding.

Congratulations to both of them. When do we get to see the pics (preferably in the unmounted position)?

My congratulations on actually doing the paperwork and making it official - Hah! About time too - the lad has been at a loose end far too

Congrats, Gaz. That'll put an end to "Have boink, will travel" I should think.

I'm with Mike Hardy on this one. Even with "only" used as a conjuction, the sentence is not quite right to these American ears and eyes. My own usage would eliminate "only" an
