Five cool things about our wedding
- We got married in the tropical house of Central Park Zoo, New York. We were the first people ever to do so.
- We had to get our wedding license from City Hall. The notice-boards in the licensing office were covered in little notes that people had written declaring their love for one another. It was beautiful.
- I spent the hour prior to the wedding looking round the worlds biggest toy shop in Time Square, then caught the subway to the Zoo.
- When we got back to England we had a huge party for all our friends and relations. I managed to avoid having to do a first dance.
- Every single day since I have had reason to be thankful that Kerry agreed to be my wife.
One un-cool thing about our wedding
- We left our wedding cake in the hotel kitchen and told the staff they could have a slice. When we came down the next morning they had eaten the whole thing. The greedy bastards.

I really wanna go on about how spookily similar some of your cool things and your uncool thing are with our own, but I won’t as it’s your ‘personal space’. (dr Phil)
Great picture too, makes me hum ‘groovy kind of love’…

Your wedding sounds so cool. You did it right.
We did it wrong — we worried more about making our families happy. In retrospect, my wife and I both agree that we should’ve just run off to some beach (or zoo) and just did what would be memorable for us. As it is, our wedding day memories are kind of a drag. Oh well, we’ve more than made up for it over the past 18 years.
Now I’m trying to think of somewhere to renew vows for our 20th. Any suggestions? Is your backyard available?

Leave it to a couple of Brits to come over hear and show us how to have a care-free and fun wedding. Love the picture!

That’s amazing. I’m from NYC and I STILL feel like a tourist. It really takes a long time to feel part of what is really like a separate country. But you just wondered in here….
