SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING BORROWED, SOMETHING BLUE

There is an old saying that goes “No news is good news”, meaning that when one hears nothing, then nothing bad can essentially be happening. This rings very true for me over the last few weeks as I have adopted the well practiced art of radio silence and arranged my life as calmly and quietly as possible. However, at some stage the bubble must burst and the news gets out, so let me apologize first hand if you did not hear it from me! But smile, because the news is good and happy and wonderful and everything that life should be!

To all my wonderful friends and family, I can officially announce on these here pages that my Prince Charming is in fact my Husband! He is every bit as wonderful as those fairy tales we all read when we were young and far better looking! (It’s at this point in the story I want you all to take a breath and relax, breath in, breath out etc etc). I can imagine this comes as a shock to some as in some circles I am known as the Anti-Christ of Marriage and I can appreciate the total lack of belief, but believe me, it is all true and my mind has been forever changed by the fact that I did indeed find The One.

We were married on Saturday August 7th 2010 at 11am at The 12 Apostles Hotel in Cape Town. The ceremony was extremely low key and perfect. Pint Size and Thunder were there to give me away and cry respectively, while Prince Charming was accompanied by his best man and ring bearer. Champagne and happiness surrounded a day where I can categorically say I have never been happier! We have officially been married for 12 days and it feels like the best dream in the world! I love being married. It's so great to find one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life ;-)

For the ladies out there I wore the following:

• Something old: Favourite long black dress
• Something new: Stunning black velvet peep toe stiletto’s
• Something borrowed: Hairclips from Thunder
• Something blue: A magnificent blue and purple rose in my hair

The next few weeks are packed with excitement and fun as we say goodbye to friends and family, see the things in SA we’ve always wanted to but just haven’t got around to organising and packing for the imminent move. Smile Peeps, life is good!
