Greetings from Mr and Mrs Sonko!

On the 29th February Nfamara and I tied the knot making us officially Mr and Mrs Sonko!!

It was an interesting day though not as straight forward as one might imagine a civil wedding to be! However once all the appropriate people were given their 'incentives' and all the unkown 'well wishers' paid to bugger off we managed to complete all the necessary paperwork and also enjoyed a lovely evening meal at a super hotel called Ngala Lodge.

Nfamara and I would like to thank everyone who expressed their best wishes and hopefully in the not too distant future I will be able to introduce you all to my wonderful husband!

It's official - Mr and Mrs!!!




The lovely couple (also getting married on the same day) who lent us their rings?!! (That's a whole story in itself!!)



The wedding car (thanks to Suky who got ribbons to decorate the taxi!!) The driver assured us that the 'F' was the right way round when you sit in the car!!

The 'V' works fine which ever way you look at it!
