Glad to hear that, Michael. My next-door neighbours had a civil partnership ceremony about 3 years ago, to which we, other friends from the village and family were invited. Most of the guests in the town hall chamber were locals from the village.

There was a great bash in our local pub afterwards - I played guitar in a jazz trio for the occasion (and donated my services free as their partnership present from me).

Two good blokes - good neighbours - good friends. No fuss, no bother. What's all the fuss about. eh?
