Having all the people you love in one room sometimes feels overwhelming.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re aren’t many circumstances which allow it to happen and it never occurs<br />

naturally. One of the occasions will be without you and that is the most natural<br />

of all but for this, probably the second most natural occurrence I had everybody<br />

under one roof.<br />

I was stood next to the DJ in the social room of the football club I played for as<br />

a teenager. All those eyes fixed on me and I felt the love, the love of the room.<br />

<strong>The</strong> expectation of the announcement was weighing on people and I think most<br />

of them guessed it was a wedding announcement. Elly wasn’t showing yet and<br />

had been so busy that no one had been able to pin her down and buy her a drink.<br />

Actually no one knew that she drunk beer except me.<br />

It felt great though. Looking out to my audience. It felt better than the ecstasy<br />

highs of university. It was another powerful drug that had me dancing that day.<br />

Love was pumping through my veins, taking me higher than I ever thought I<br />

could float.<br />

“As most of you guessed.” I paused and winked at Elly. “Or were informed,<br />

much like myself,” A few polite chuckles. “Me and Elly are getting married.”<br />

<strong>This</strong> was greeted with applause and whooping. I had never been whooped in my<br />

life and it felt good. I held out my hand and Elly joined me, we kissed and there<br />

was another round of thunderous applause.
