She went by Eliath Carlomin on wotmania, and EC when she was here - briefly, before her journalism course took over her life.

Helena had a pretty rough year last year. A close friend died in the Christchurch earthquake on 22 February; her boyfriend had a bad crash on his motorbike and was hospitalised for a couple of months; and she lost another friend later in the year. So it's great that this year is starting well (despite a little car crash of her own and a sting on her foot last week that got infected and has made wearing pretty shoes difficult).

So please raise a glass to congratulate Helena and Sam on their wedding and wish them all the very best for a long and happy marriage.
