It was a very happy and very emotional time for us both and for our guests - as nobody knew what was going to happen, everybody just thought we were having a party. Some party!
The guest list represented our lives here, Nick had invited some very longstanding close friends and also two colleagues of his from work, I had invited several students and a friend from the orchestra and then we had our mutual friends that we have made since being together.
This was a very unique occasion, as same-sex relationships are not recognised in Peru and people are generally very conservative, so the word "brave" was mentoined quite alot especially as we are wearing rings on our engagement finger (in Peru left hand ring finger) the rings are simple plain silver wedding bands with an inscription engraved on the inside.
We mentioned that we are considering a civil union under UK law at the British embassy in Lima, and then a "conversion" to a marriage in the UK, both at a date to be decided. I so want to be able to say "my husband and I".......
No more to say, except enjoy the pictures, there is rumoured to be a video that I will add shortly (see below)!
The pictures are low-density but high quality pictures are available!
