2nd Marriage

I  married Brent Gardiner on 7th August 2004.

 I first met Brent  when we briefly talked in a trivia channel #gabriel on Internet Relay Chat (IRC) in August 2002 and we became online friends in January 2003 by chatting daily whilst playing the online trivia questions game. 

Topic of conversation at the time was usually The World Cup Cricket, which was being played in South Africa with the Australian cricket team winning.

In April 2003 Brent flew from New Zealand to Western Australia to meet me and we became engaged in May 2003.  Brent flew back to NZ in August and then I visited him in December with my mother.  Brent showed us many scenic locations on the North Island for a week and then  Mum and I travelled the South Island and came back to Australia just before Christmas 2003.  

A few weeks later Brent flew back to Geraldton and re-proposed to me on Australia Day (26 January) and on Valentines Day we set our wedding date for 7 August 2004.

So, it all happened !  we got married :)
