Fix You

We’ve been back from Japan for a few weeks now, it was the most incredible trip and I will tell you all about it soon! One of the downsides to a lengthy time away in beautiful sunshine was returning to the UK as autumn marched further towards winter at an………………………………….

The Final Countdown

Four months before the wedding day, David’s carer left us. So whilst we searched for the perfect replacement, I became David’s full time carer….which believe me, is pretty intense and sometimes exhausting. Life with David is never dull but I was trying to manage my own work, wedding plans, gym………………………………….

Crazy Little Thing Called Love

I know you’re waiting to hear about the wedding; about the meringue-i-ness of the dress; the music we danced to; the number of times I cried (it ran to several hundred before midday in case you were wondering!). But I need to finish telling you about the planning and the build………………………………….

Friday 27th November; my life changed forever. It started as your average Friday. David’s carer came in at 8am to get him up and I went off to the gym. Nothing unusual. I came back from the gym and spent 4 hours on the phone trying to get tickets for………………………………….

Getting to Know You

Unconditionally

I have so much to tell you about. I’m torn between telling you about the wedding and all the exciting things that are happening. But I also want to tell you more about the early days of our relationship and how I found myself turning cartwheels around the moon with happiness………………………………….

The first date

July 26, 2016 July 26, 2016All Posts, David's story

Waiting for Nicky to arrive for our first date evoked a lot of emotions, but mainly excitement, trepidation, and hope. It was exciting because we had already spoken and messaged each other a lot, and I was looking forward to meeting this bubbly person properly. Obviously our paths had crossed………………………………….

Could it be Magic?

Seeing as this blog is supposed to be about planning our wedding, I guess I should actually start telling you something about it! I’ll get to the wedding stuff, I promise; but there seems to be so many other tales to tell you as well! David’s most recent blog, tells………………………………….
