Title: Saturday, 25 November 2006
Post by: Setekh on December 26, 2005, 09:45:17 pm
Man, I've been away too much recently. Having just gotten engaged and with the holiday season upon us, I've just been going to family stuff day after day. Good to be back though - you guys did a good job staying civil over at AV. I'm glad that's pretty much passed us by.

Michelle and I have finally worked out stuff with our parents and so we've set the date for our wedding next year. 25/11 (or 11/25 for the U.S. folks) it is. You're all welcome to come along to the wedding. My house has... ummm... some extra space. ;) If anyone's seriously thinking of visiting, just let me know.

If you're planning to have it in Sydney, and it's anywhere near Balmain, i'd be glad to show up and grace your buffet with my presence. I mean, how can I turn down the prospect of free food! :D

I'll come dressed as a scale replica of the Aquitaine, and no one will be the wiser.

Er, cheers on you future marriage.

I've never been to Australia, so it would be an experience in itself. The trip would cost money though which I don't have...
Ed, congrats again. :)

That would be perfect :D

Except for the fact that it's right before finals. :( And it costs a bundle of money to go to Australia. :(

That's a shame BW, here in NSW the exams tend to finish three or four weeks before the date I set (quite deliberately - I have to finish my own exams before getting married!). I hear Melbourne finishes even earlier. Sorry about that. There was quite a bit of debate about what date to set in the end, actually - my future in-laws wanted to go for a two-year long engagement rather than a one-year engagement. Boy am I glad it's going to be the latter. :)

Anyway, I better start cleaning up the house and working out how many people I can fit in here. :D

:p

Yeah yeah, okay. :p Actually, thanks to our kick-arse unions, teachers just got a pay rise. I'll be looking at a fairly tidy salary of AUD$50000 (just over USD$36000) per year as soon as I graduate. Plus guaranteed raises every year. Which is more than most IT and commerce graduates...

Two things:

  • What's the legal drinking age in Australia?
  • Did you decide on this date because you were sat around on Christmas Day, thought you should set a date, thought 'a year' sounded about right, then remembered that'd put it on Christmas Day, so moved it forward a month?

1. 18.
2. Actually, this was the product of our discussing it over with Michelle's parents. I didn't want it in the middle of the year (had uni stuff to worry about, and this way I can take an awesome honeymoon and look after my new wife while I've got holidays), and then the question was whether they would let us marry in one year or two. Eventually the former option prevailed, and November 25 came out. Funnily enough, nothing to do with Christmas... though we will be taking advantage of the post-Christmas sales to stock up our new home. :)

Oh, wait. I get it. You're making them pay for it, aren't ya?

Yes and no. I mean, they're paying for a fair share of it, but by no means are they financing the whole thing. Really, it's more of a "I don't want the in-laws being a thorn in our side for the rest of our lives" thing.

Is that private or state? You're going to be on a better starting salary than I am... Bastard. :p

State; private is higher, how much so depending on the school. I know, it's kinda funny now; education is generally shunned by plenty of people I know because it's viewed as a non-professional vocation that doesn't make that money. Nuts to that, I say.

Won't be around for a little while. I would normally tell you all that I'll remember you in my time away, but I fully intend to forget all about you guys while I'm on my honeymoon. Don't take offense. :D
