Gittin' hitched...

Post by last celtic warrior » Wed Aug 13, 2008 2:39 pm

Tara and I are getting married this Sunday (17th Aug) and doing most things ourselves. I just finished the rings this afternoon, but then I only started them yesterday. They are carved out of stainless steel using minimal tools and a gatepost as a vice (made out in the yard at Tara's place).

See, I can do "non-Subaru" stuff too, especially when it's this important...
