I had been signed up to this site for over a year, and had not made a lot of head-way, other than one brief relationship that really didn't have long-term potential. I was about to give up, and actually logged on to unsubscribe when I found a smiley face had just been left for me...

From the moment we read one another's profiles in September 2007 we were both convinced that we were onto something pretty special. David's profile was very funny - the last book he had read was "The White Pages" and in the comments section, he'd said "a bit monotonous".... He came across as very witty, intelligent and down to earth - and he loved kids (which given that I had 4 was pretty important).

We have seven gorgeous kids between us, which makes for plenty of fun and excitement (and the odd drama!). All the children were involved in the wedding party.

We were really lucky to win a $5000 wedding package through our local Classic Hits Radio station, which was a BIG help. Still, the wedding was very much what WE wanted - pretty laid-back and a lot of fun with friends and family joining us from all over the country.

So life is great, and were it not for FSO we'd never have met. So THANK YOU!!
