Thank Yous

This is just a quick little post - we're getting back to 'normal', but, you know, normal around here isn't saying much ;)

We just wanted to say Thank You to, firstly, on here, to you lot. Especially Anons and people who'd never commented before, who felt moved to offer us your best wishes. We really were touched.

And a huge thanks goes to the boys. Mycroft was our ring bearer, and technical blogger, sharing the music of the ceremony for you. Sherlock, as you probably read, didn't give me away, but hung onto me tight, down the aisle and at the 'altar' so to speak. Also chief sampler of cakes and foodstuffs.

And another on to Murray, John's best man, and boy-wrangler :) Although perhaps the most thanks there should go to Mrs Hudson, who looked after all three of them, on the wedding night and the next morning, as well as keeping you lot abreast with proceedings.

Thanks to Mrs Holmes, for providing us with an amazing first night of married life, at Blakes -


(We did somehow manage to find each other in that bed...)

And further thanks to John's folks, for making the journey down to share our wonderful day. Nicky and Rachel and their families for coming, and helping Mum around, so her stay was comfortable. Mum herself, for making the journey, which I know was a bit daunting. Jo and Lisa, for telling me not to be nervous, because John was indeed as amazing as I thought ;) and countless other friends and family who helped us make our day.

Thank you to Pete Townshend, for writing an amazing song, that seemed perfect to use instead of having to make a speech, because it said everything I needed to, to and about John. And I do apologise to everyone who cried. Including John.

And, from me, Thank You to John. For choosing me. :)

It still seems like a dream. Good thing we've got the rings to remind us. :) And it was a beautiful song. Thank you, love.

It does.

People will start sending us all their pictures now, though, make it a bit more real :)

Glad you liked it. Been hard, practicing when you're not in earshot!

thank you for doing the rings. They're unbelievably perfect.

Will you disown me if I say something completely soppy like so are you?

Greg Lestrade said...

Ha! As if. You're stuck with me now, John Hamish Danger Lestrade Watson :)

Bed? Tomorrow is my last day of freedom before work again, I'm afraid...

John H. D. Watson said...

Best news I've had in the long time!

We should make the most of it, then. Starting tonight. Bed. :)

Enjoy your last day of freedom together.

Can we have a description of the cake?

pandabob said...

Have another great day gentlemen :-)

Greg Lestrade said...

We will give you details, promise :)

Sherlock said...

I found a frog or maybe a toad and it was really small.

pandabob said...

That's cool Sherlock :-) was it on your allotment?

rsf said...

Do you know what kind it is? In New England we have a kind of frog called a "spring peeper" and they're really tiny too. There's a picture here of one of them and it's not much bigger than a fingernail. Was your frog/toad bigger than that or smaller?

Greg Lestrade said...

We found it out on a walk. About an inch long? Just a baby regular frog.

What a fun thing to find, Sherlock!

I hope you're all enjoying your day. :)
