Hi Becky,

Guess what- my sister Naomi is married! She came home from her round the word trip last week with a husband! They met while she was traveling round New Zealand. One afternoon; while her friends were shopping, she went to look round an art gallery. She was looking at a small sculpture when a young man came into the room, and started to put it into a rucksack. She called the security guard; thinking the man was trying to steal it. She was very embarrassed to discover that actually, he wasn't stealing it - it belonged to him. Anyway; he didn't mind, and asked her if she wanted a coffee. A month later, they got married in Bali. We didn't know anything about it. Can you believe it? He's really nice, and they are very happy together!

All my love,

Ada
