    Crystal & I were married at Holy Rood church Barnsley, with the kick off at 2:30pm. It never ceases to amaze me just how lucky I've been. I think she's a funny, gentle, kind hearted, loving, wife and mother, with an aggressive side that only comes out if someone threatens her family. A number of posters on here who have met her can confirm what I've said. When things have been a bit rough, she has been an absolute rock. It's thanks to Crystal we've have two wonderful, intelligent, well behaved, kind children. As a follow on, we now have two wonderful grandchildren as well.
    I accept this isn't a tough, macho post, but I don't care.

    Thank you, Ian. When there is so much understandable anger and frustration in this country, USA and around the world, it means my appreciation and love for Crystal is even greater and, as stated previously, means I realise just how lucky I am.

    My dad advised me that although it’s alright having funny, loving, gentle and kindhearted women in your life, its important to never let them meet!
    Congrats!

    Ah, that was something I insisted on. Well, when i say insisted, I asked if it would be okay! :D
    Truth be told, we selected the date nearest to her Father's birthday (June 1st). He passed away four years earlier, so Crystal couldn't be given away by him.
