To Be Sure...

Is something I did not hear once while I was in Dublin.

So to backtrack for just a moment, last Friday I made my way to Heathrow Terminal 1, to meet my fiancee and her family to fly off to the Emerald Isle and enjoy the wonder that is Dublin (and possibly Guiness). And in the interests of disclosure and honesty, I was a tad nervous. My reasoning for this was simply as follows - I'd only ever spent an evening with my future family (Father in law, Mother in law, Brother in law and girlfriend) and here I was going to spend Friday night through to Sunday evening with them! I had slightly irrational thoughts of making a complete fool of myself or worse not making a fool of myself and just being found to be not very nice. Thankfully this did not appear to be the case!

In short, I had a wonderful time, the Connollys welcomed me with metaphorical open arms, laughed at and with me, treated me like one of the family and were absolutely great. It was a wonderful weekend. We ate lots, drank lots (although I didn't end up having any Guiness!), walked lots, slept um very little, saw lots, ate lots, laughed lots and generally had a fun time.

So thank you John, Carol, Rich, Jenn and Vikki, you were wonderful. In summary, I got to hold Vikki's hand all weekend and see the wonderful city of Dublin, it doesn't get much better than that.

And here hopefully are a couple of pictures
