Wife, wife, wife

I am now a husband.

I referred to Girl O' Sand twice today as wife. Both times to complete strangers. I loved the way the word formed in my mouth but still I doubted whether I was able to use such a term. It still seems a touch unreal. The simple gold band on my finger is still foreign and I find myself toying with it often. It is not uncomfortable, just different.

I will comment on the big day properly later but now I am too full of fine Greek food to concentrate. The Hellenic Republic is a new restaurant near us and we took The Father-In-Law there tonight, in part to thank him for a very generous wedding gift. The food was great and the Greek wine was like a fine pinot but just a touch different. Exceptional. A fantastic night was had by all. An interesting man the FIL. I like him a lot.

He gave an excellent, heartfelt speech. It was a cracker in fact.

Just don't call Girl O' Sand (she is taking the hallowed moniker, - not one of Mother of Man O's eager wishes?) 'Wifey'. I still get a clip around the ear for that one.
