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………………………………….
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………………………………….
It’s 17 weeks until we get married. 17 WEEKS!!!! How did that happen?!? We’ve still got so much to organise, but recently life has been revolving around sailing and our trip to the World Championships in Holland. David finished in 7th overall (pretty amazing stuff!
