Jeff, you are lovely. I am incredibly happy to say that I’m now married to Hywel. And it’s all because of the existence of RE; I doubt we’d ever have had the chance to meet if it wasn’t for the website; but as it is, we had the rare opportunity to slowly get to know each other over the course of dozens of photoshoots. It was ages before I dared to tell him I was actually into BDSM, not thinking of Hywel’s shoots as just another day at work.

I feel very proud to have ‘married in’ to the Restrained Elegance empire. I feel like an aristocrat, and very, very haughty and important. Which might turn out to be a bit dangerous for me – I don’t think Hywel has any plans to upgrade my status just cos we’re married. He’s already made some new rules for me to follow actually
😉

Thank you Jeff (and everyone else on Twitter etc) for your lovely kind words. The wedding day was brilliant, and I’m about to write a blog post about it.

Ariel (over-excited and very very happy!)

Thanks Jeff for the birthday wishes 🙂 I had a wonderful weekend in London, topped off with helping to celebrate two of my favourite people embarking on married life together… by eating cake.

All is well in the world! xx
