As I'm sure you already know, this is my favourite sonnet form and you've done it very well indeed. I'm not keen on the trochee you've slipped into L9, I'd suggest a fix there, but otherwise the meter's a pleasure to read. Trippingly off the tongue, in fact 
I am delighted to see you're still hanging around, and I'd like to offer my very warmest congratulations.

Leanne is right about L9. I respectfully (given the quality of your writing) suggest you replace "Some" with "A few".
Otherwise, a nice write.

Leanne:
As always you are correct. I wish I had read this before I had the poem recited on the wedding day. I had many compliments and requests for a copy. Luckily I think I can give them the revised version and nobody would be the wiser.
I intend to be around more. Poetry replenishes me, espescially when I have such a learned and supportive audience. I've gotten away from it and suffered.

I'm sure the champagne will have affected their memories anyway
It's a pleasure to see you back again.

Brides are notoriously difficult. I recommend trading in for a Harley. However, if you've already procured the bride, this sonnet will probably suffice to assuage her more insane romantic tendencies.
On a serious note, in the first line the choice of 'our' instead of 'the' seemed a tiny bit curious, since it switches immediately to a third person view rather than that first person plural.
Good meter and the rhyme and meter seem to work well to me.
