In June 2004 my fianc�e Bema and myself got married in London.

In August 2004 I went to Kyrgyzstan for a party to celebrate our marriage with her family and their friends.

Fatto the horse

My brother-in-law gave me a horse for a wedding gift. We called him Fatto. His favorite hobby is eating.
He is currently being taken care of in Kyrgyzstan. I am looking forward to visiting him soon.
