I have known Russell for over 40 years and no matter how good the photos are he is still just scrawny surf rat from Perth West Oz! How lucky can you get ,fancy catching a babe like that!

Seriously though ,Russ we have been to the depths of despair together and shared life's milestones as well. We have grown up alongside each other through school and grappled with and conquered the challenges of university together. We supported each other as we entered our respective careers and both made our marks. Births and deaths have come our way and all have drawn the two of us closer as mates. Surfing and camping down South when we were boys was an experience on which our mate-ship was founded and flourished.

We grew up with and became part of each other's family. I know your family well , I know where you come from , I know you well, probably better than most and you know me. So I know Pauline has a good man with a true and strong heart.
And you my friend deserve all the love she has to give.

Enjoy your new lives together and make some history.
