Wow, married in a library – wish I’d heard of that place before I got married, not sure I would have switched but I’m certain it would have made me think twice.

Wow! That is an amazing place…and getting married surrounded by books would be amazing. Now to find someone who won’t think I’m insane for wanting to be married there…As for 0.4, you shouldn’t let other people influence you too much. Have a go and see how you get on with it.
