I’ve had your 100% support from the moment I finally admitted to you that I was a secret wedding geek who had started a wedding blog because I’d loved planning our own wedding that much. For that I will be eternally grateful. I know that without you here by my side, there is no way that Rock n Roll Bride would be where it is today. Without your logical advice and technical know-how, I certainly wouldn’t have been able to create and maintain this little corner of cyber space like I have…

You helped me set up my site properly when I deleted my Blogger account by mistake.

You convinced me that Twitter was the ‘next big thing’.

You create custom widgets and sidebars and layouts and all kinds of fancy behind the scenes geekery that I can’t even begin to pretend to understand. Because of you my website looks the prettiest it ever has.

You’ve indulged me with my weird ideas and often questionable opinions.

You’ve corrected my terrible spelling and kept my grammar in check. Hell, you even occasionally read my magazine articles (even though I know the subject is totally boring for you), critique my photo shoot ideas and approve my video blogs.

You’ve attempted time and time again to explain tax and VAT to me…and I’m so sorry but I still don’t really get it.

You’ve always been by my side in this crazy blogging adventure, even when we didn’t speak for 24 hours because I was stuck at my computer trying to hit some crazy deadlines.

…And now you’ve quit your own business to work with me. Full time. Words can’t express how proud I am of you for taking that leap to leaving a job that you hated…and words also can’t express how excited I am that you are officially my bitch. (Ahem, now where’s that coffee I ordered?!)

I promise to always appreciate you and all you do for me, our business and our little family. I’ll try my hardest to not be the worst ‘boss’ you’ve ever had…and I promise to always be willing to drop everything and go to Nando’s for lunch with you.

Welcome to team Rock n Roll Bride Gareth. Let’s take over the world together shall we?!
