Six months ago, we received a cryptic email telling us to be in Hong Kong on December 9, 2006. No further details would be divulged, just be there! Gavin’s 40th birthday celebrations were to be a mystery until we got there, but were not to be missed!

The only other information we had was the dress code from the invitation- “Dress: Up”. So much time and deliberation was put into choosing suitably fancy outfits for what we knew was going to be an amazing night, knowing too that Will & Gavin had put a lot of secret planning into it.

We certainly weren’t disappointed! It was such a fantastic, memorable night. Friends and family flown in from Australia, China and other parts of Asia all met up at JJ’s bar at the Hyatt, before we were escorted from the hotel down to the waterfront of the harbour - whereupon we boarded a luxury yacht and then spent the next four hours cruising around Hong Kong harbour quaffing French bubbles and munching on a divine finger food buffet. Normally people would say “how the other half live”, except this time it was us, and of course we deserved it! And it was an absolutely fitting way to celebrate Gavin’s birthday, suited him to a T.
