I just have to hope she stops singing, “All the women who are independent. Throw your hands up at me,” before the wedding. Either way, I guess I made a good impression on that first date.

Stuart is an accident prone Englishman who has been living in the Netherlands since 2001. Even his move to the country was an unintentional accident, the result of replying to a cryptic job advertisement he found one day in a local British magazine. Since then he has learned to love the Dutch (so much so that he married one of them) and now calls the country home. He started the blog Invading Holland in 2006 as a place to share his strange stories of language misunderstandings, cultural confusions and his own accident prone nature.

Congratulations! Go girlfriend now STBW!
So happy for the both of you. You really do deserve each other…the nicest couple I’ve met in a very long time, not to mention equally talented!
Aaaawww… thank you Vally. I don’t know what to say :)
What a lovely story to tell the kids! Congrats again and I wish you both a long, happy life together!
LizzeeB – It took me a moment there to figure out what STBW meant but when my STBW read it and was also confused I got to feel intelligent by telling her what it meant :p
Alison – Thank you Alison. That is so sweet :)
Congratulations Stu! I’m looking forward to the “Invader Stu Guide to Dutch weddings” blogpost :-)
Wow, Congratulations! ‘wishing you both all the best together!
Gefeliciteerd! :-)
Gefeliciteerd (namens een vreemde)!
Yay!!!! Congratulations!
Thanks everyone :) Who knows… there might be a guide on the way
I think story #2 is more likely to happen. This is a really creepy way of getting in contact with someone.
You have the most amazing sense of humor Stu!
PinayinDutchland – I’m guessing this comment was meant for the other post or are you trying t say the marriage proposal was creepy? :p
Congrats! I found your blog though “A Touch of Dutch”.. need a wedding photographer? Cheers!
Thank you very much Lana. Thank you very much for the offer as well but we already have a photographer. You have great photos though.
