It is the time in my life when most of my friends are getting engaged and eventually married. I, myself, wed just over a year ago, and I suppose could still be called a newlywed.

If I find something really good, I’ll share it with my colleagues in the office, and we have a good laugh.

The basic plot involves an all American girl marrying an English lord, and spending their honeymoon having adventures throughout the solar system.
My honeymoon seems a bit tame in comparison to our heroine Zaidie Rettick and hero Lord Redgrave. Here are some of the adventures they get up to:
