A big warm welcome to the Surfer Chicks and their first post on their plans for an ethical civil partnership…over to you girls!

“We’re getting Civilly Partnered!

Or should that be ‘Civil Partnershipped’? Hmm, maybe ‘hitched’? Oh, what the heck…

We’re getting MARRIED!!

This declaration is often met with blank looks here in Australia, where we are living at the moment. Same-sex unions haven’t yet reached this part of the world yet!

So, to clarify, we will technically be “registering as Civil Partners”, thanks to the UK’s more enlightened policies. (But I’m afraid if the government can’t come up with a more convenient phrase I’m going to stick with “married”!)

The date is set and the venue is booked! Impressed? So are we! I guess that’s what you get when there are two brides-to-be!

There are still plenty of decisions to make and lots to be organised; the outfits, the meal, the entertainments, the gift register and of course the honeymoon! The challenge is on to organise a great event which doesn’t do too much damage to our financial wellbeing, the environment, or our social consciences.

Check back again soon to find out how we go about this… And if you have any ideas then get in touch, because we sure haven’t worked it out yet! ”

Thanks Surfer Chicks! And apologies to anyone who was hoping to find this post here yesterday, as promised in our newsletter.  Unfortunately, the blogging software had temporarily seized up and didn’t want us to post! Back in action now though…

Happy planning!
