In four days, I will be a married man. This time on Saturday (at the moment of writing this blog), the wedding of the century will be in full-swing, with the ceremony concluded, vows read and rings exchanged. This is something I am still struggling to comprehend.
Lots of people have been contacting both Claire and myself; many offering helpful advice and passing on their good wishes. I have been asked if I am nervous. A week ago, my response to that was always “No”. The past few days, however, I have been having mini moments of panic, when the realisation of what will be happening this weekend hits me.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not scared of marriage – it is something I really, really want – I just want the day to go well. That is the reason for my anxiety. During these scary moments, I lose all appetite, cannot sleep and feel unwell. Luckily, these bouts of panic are few and far between, and in fact are becoming less frequent as the day approaches. I think it helps being at work. I’m too busy solving IT problems to sit around and think about the wedding.
I am sure this won’t be my last blog before the biggest day of my life, but if it is, wish me luck and think about us.

Wedding rehearsal now done. I've left my soon-to-be wife at home, as I am spending the night at my Dad's. The next time I'll see Claire will be at the church. Eeek!...
