Well of course you can guess how mushy it was. So that was the first draft. Phrases that were omitted in the last draft included:

- the way they gazing lovingly at each other
- if that�s not love, I don�t know what is
- side by side, till the end of their days
- their love could move mountains
- they are like two sides of a coin, you need both for it to be complete

I just wanted to add at the bottom, �Come on government, why don�t you do something useful for once and grant this visa, cause he�s a top bloke and it�s just right. We�ll march on Canberra with big obnoxious protest signs if you don�t. Rotten eggs will be thrown� but I refrained.

Apparently her mum�s one was more like a wedding speech. So maybe I wasn�t so over the top with that first draft.

Of course that didn�t stop me from having a quiet sob while I wrote it.
