On Friday 17th October i got married. The same day we had the legal registry and also the Islamic part, the nikkah, so by about 6pm on the day we were husband and wife by all measures and standards!
The girl i married - Rachel - also had had Hodgkin's Lymphoma and we got talking through a lymphoma support forum. Through this same forum Rachel had been in touch with a lovely couple from Scotland. Wullie and his wife Veronica had also been through the trials of Hodgkin's with Wullie having undergone treatment twice. He has now been clean for a year. Rachel had told me that Veronica in particular had been a huge help and source of support when Rachel was having her treatment.
On our wedding day both Wullie and his wife and two lovely daughters attended our wedding. It was a huge honour to have them there and they too felt privilaged to be there - so everyone was happy! A lovely, lovely touch.
Currently we are both in LA with the big 'Jesus in India' film screening taking place tomorrow evening - watch this space!
