Marriage is a marathon - right?

I don't know about you, but I was inspired and motivated by the London Marathon yesterday - not necessarily to run a marathon, obviously, but just to get out in the fresh air!  And there were two brave couples embarking on their marriage journeys during the actual race - Laura Harvey and Michael Elliott actually stopped off at 13 miles, dashed across Tower Bridge to St Katharine's Docks for the ceremony, then finished off the marathon before returning to their reception.  Phew.  If they can survive that, they should be ok!

And another runner, Jordan Meikle, met up with his friends and supporters on the course, then pretended to stretch his legs, ending up on one knee with a ring and a rose from his pockets to give to his VERY surprised girlfriend, Kayleigh Harris.  Then a bit of a chat, cue lots of cheering from onlookers and other runners, and he was on his way again.

So two couples embarking on married life in a sporty and romantic way in the middle of a cold, grey and drizzly London Marathon.

All together now - Aaaaaah!
