"In May 2006, I'm going to get married to Nick, which is nice. I'm inviting my nine brothers and sisters to our wedding. Nine brothers and sisters you're thinking. Well actually I've only got two sisters and no brothers but during my life I've acquired some other people that are so much more than friends, I count them as brothers and sisters.
They're all amazing, with singular independent minds and a deep sense of humanity. They're funny and creative and moody and clever and groundbreaking; a bit like my real family to be honest.
If they could all come to our wedding and be together for the first time ever, it will make our big day even better. I really, really hope that they can all be there."
