SAVE THE DATE

You should have received your SAVE THE DATE e-mail today, with the picture below attached or emedded.  The photo was taken on our winter trip to Rome in December 2007.  We had been 'going out' for just over 3 months at this point, hence the happy smiles!

It was on this trip, for my work's Christmas party, that Kylie first told me she loved me....   I said, "brilliant" and gave her a big hug!
