We have an apartment in Chelsea, right on the Thames next to Chelsea Bridge. I had originally favoured the idea of the Chelsea Register Office on the old King’s Road. We will, I hope, be best friends for life.ĭiane and I will be married at our stupidly beautiful home in Remuera. I wish she could be there, but that’s so much to ask that I will not ask it.
