One proud Dad

[Blackbird]

Our younger son Kerryn and his fiancée Becky have returned to NZ a few weeks ago after 5 years OE in the UK. It's been a wonderful week. On Thursday, he heard that he landed a senior job with a food company in Auckland and Becky is short-listed for 2 jobs. The most wonderful bit was that they got married on Friday and Jennie and I couldn't be more proud of two fabulous kids who are absolutely devoted to each other. It was also the first time that Kerryn, his sister Victoria and brother Lyndon had all been together for 6 years and that was very moving. This biker must be going completely soft as I filled more hankies than his mother!

The ceremony was at the Lost Springs in Whitianga (incredible place) and Becky walked in to the song "Growing up Beside You" by Paolo Nutini. I'd never heard it before and it triggered more waterworks - just lovely. It's on YouTube if you've never heard it either.

Sorry to blather on a non-biking subject but this has been an incredible weekend.:love:

Nothing wrong with that, some of the most lovely people I know have a soft streak a mile wide. Congratulations to the young couple, may their future deliver up everything and then some for them.

EDIT! AWWWWW she looks gorgeous!

Thanks very much guys!:Punk:

I think it will work out just fine. They've been together since first year at varsity 12 years ago - they sure took their time, hehe. Jennie and I celebrate 38 very happy years in July so they've got something to base it on!

38 years! Congratulations in advance! :first: 33 for us in Oct. I think 30 must be a real milestone as by then you're too old and too comfortable with each other to consider breaking up... :yes:


What a lovely thread, Geoff! :niceone:

Wot 'e sed! Good news threads are few and far between, we need more like this! And I doubt many father's had dry eyes at their kids' weddings...
