Mike & Kirstie’s Wedding
 
I first met Mike when he demonstrated 2nd year lab to me in early 2000, fast forward a couple of years and I’m working with/for him at which point I got to meet the lovely Kirstie. Rachel and I were chuffed to bits when we got invited to the wedding. More photos here and here.
