afford

working

there
for
him
all
of

time.
Things
are
tough

at
the
moment.
And
by
the
way,
never
ever
get
married.

Surprise!
What
a
lovely,
lovely
way
to
tell
you,
I
can’t
have
imagined
a

better
way
of
sharing
my
delightful
news
with
my
best
friend
.

Marriage!

Oh
I’m
so
sorry,
that’s
great
news.
Don’t
mind
what
I
say,
I’m
just
tired

and
whinging.
So
how
did
it
all
happen?
When’s
the
big
day?
I
thought

what’s-his-name
didn’t
want
to
get
married.

Marriage
at
last!

Oh,
Alex,
you
don’t
have
to
pretend
to
be
interested
in
all
the
little

details,
it’s
OK.
And
his
name
is
Greg,
by
the
way.
You’ve
plenty
on
your

Cecelia
Ahern

mind
now
so
I’ll
bore
you
another
time;
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
that
the

“big
day”
won’t
be
so
big.
It’s
only
going
to
be
a
small
gathering
with
close

friends
and
family.
Greg
doesn’t
really
want
anything
too
OTT
and
I’m

happy
enough
to
go
along
with
that.

Katie
is
my
flower
girl/bridesmaid
type
person
and
I
want
you
to
be
my

best
man.
If
Greg
is
allowed
to
have
one
then
so
should
I.
Please
say
yes.

Sally
and
Josh
are
more
than
welcome
too.
Make
it
a
family
holiday,
I
bet

you
haven’t
had
one
of
those
yet.
You
can
relax
and
enjoy
yourselves
because

you
all
deserve
it.
You
can
finally
spend
a
few
days
together
as
a
family.

I
won’t
go
into
any
detail
about
the
proposal:
I
knew
it
was
going
to

happen
so
it
wasn’t
that
amazing
.

So
romantic!

Oh
Stephanie
it
was
so
romantic.
I
had
absolutely
no
idea
he
was
going

to
propose!
He
took
me
away
for
the
weekend
to
this
tiny
little
village
in
the

west
that
I’ve
never
even
heard
of
so
I
won’t
even
attempt
to
spell
it.
We

stayed
in
this
charming
little
B&B
and
we
ate
in
a
restaurant
called
“The

Fisherman’s
Catch.”
The
place
was
empty
so
we
had
the
entire
place
to
our-
