Awesomenessnessness..

~~~

The Lovely Celeste offered to do an engagement shoot for us (we have been threatening to do one for a year) and I jumped at it before everything else happened again.

And she did a MOST SPECTACULAR JOB!!So very much talent! <3  She is really really very good. And managed to not get too many weird and awkward moments of me with the camera.. I have a tendency towards “deer in the headlights” when a camera appears .

Thank You – Thank You Celeste!!

5 Days of Love…

~~~

Tomorrow marks the start of our {LOVE} DIY project.

As tomorrow is our (un)official anniversary and Tuesday it will be a year ago he Proposed to me *giggle*, we have decided to do a DIY project to celebrate our love.

Not to give away too much just yet, I can tell you it’s awesome and will be the first thing we see each morning (besides each other) and the last thing we see at night before we kiss and cuddle..

Have a super duper Thursday and don’t forget to order your valentines goodies early for your SQUEEZA!!

Temptation..

~~~

I am very tempted to just elope…  with the cost involved, and the stress of it all.

But I can’t do that to my loved ones.. Can I?

Plan or Delegate..

~~~

I am now looking at the pros and cons of getting a wedding coordinator in.

Pros:

• Less stress in planning
• Solid advice regarding suppliers
• Ideas for the day
• Less stress in planning
• and and and

Cons:

• Cost
• Being bullied to someone elses ideas
• Possible incompetence
• and and and

The best thing for it would be to just go suss some of them out and get a better understanding as to what they can offer me and then triple check their references before deciding if this is the way I want to go.

Oh and if you know someone to recommend. Send me the deets

Got Book..

~~~

..will plan better!

I am determined to plan this thing properly, and the pieces of paper I have printed keeps falling out the plastic sleeve and honestly it  started to get awkward to manage.

So SexyG and I went and procured a fancy shmancy book that I can write in and it will help me organise it all better

Cool hey!

So the date has been set (fancy little countdown thingy in the sidebar to remind me of the flying time) and even though it is not anytime soon, I am having to get the budget together now so that I can save effectively in order to afford this entirely extravagantly expensive yet awesome of all events.

We went to go look at some really nice venues and will continue to look at places over the next few weeks until the right one (at the right price) jumps out at us with blowing trumpets and shooting confetti.

But the next thing I am going to do that is on my list.. is renew our passports. Cos I am going to go far far far away for the honeymoon. Thats for sure. I am going to get on a JetPlane and go to a crazy assed foreign place whether they have prepared for my awesomeness or not!

More Nauseating Crap…

I have made some phonecalls.. and got several emails in regarding costing.

Hairy ShitBalls On Fire!!!

It is insanely expensive trying to arrange an engagement party!! All I want is a quiet venue with a buffet type setup so that I can (over)share all the mushy details of my soon to be nuptials with the SexyG.. Is that really too much to ask?

*sigh*

Even though this is not a first time for me, it feels like it is, as the first time around was a rushed affair with me having little if anything really to do with it. (Not forgetting to mention that the whole thing was organised and done in a 3 week window).. <– Can you say Shotgun?!?

This time around I want everything to be proper, I want it to be organised to death.. and I do not want to rush into anything!

I want a BIG ASSED Folder overflowing with quotes and samples and appointments and ToDo’s and and and and!!!!!

Go ahead, laugh! Laugh at my insanity of behaving like a virgin bride.. I don’t mind.  Insanity is all part and parcel of getting married isnt it?

*double sigh*

If all else fails though, I may have to call everyone and tell them to bring some boerie, I am starting a braai

Sharing…

So last week we released our latest free Wallpaper download and when I saw it I was unbelievably touched at the sentiment surrounding it.

DBNCKY who did the design, based it on my recent engagement and if you look closely you will see the cleverness as she put our office here on the bluff with all hearts flowing towards it from the fishies and birdies and bunnies with the sad lonely lighthouse in the background..I am not sure who this poor lonely lighthouse is or why she is so sad but I suppose there is always a lonely lighthouse shedding a tear in every love story.

It is not only a really nice general wallpaper with regards to the month of love but it clearly celebrates SexyG & I !!

Here is a snapshot of it

and if you want one you can download it here..

(its free and all)

Happy a super Happy Monday !!

OMG x 2 million..

It started like a day like any other.. .. It started with the rising of the sun and the yells for the kids to get their lazy bums out of bed.. The day started with coffee..

It ended completely different though. It ended in far too much snogging to be declared decent, it ended in a whole bunch of OMG’s and it ended with the change of status.

As stated here and here.. I am not a HUGE fan of Veeday as it is just unfair to place so much pressure on singles and couples alike to prove their love to each other by means of material goods and PDA’s.. However SexyG insisted we go out and he then booked us tickets (nonrefundable, I asked) at the Ushaka Aquarium Valentine’s Dinner.

So we went

It was actually totally awesome munching away while watching the fishies swim past (all except for *WhiteLip  that had WAY too much attitude, he knows who he is). If the tank wasn’t sealed I would’ve thrown some scraps at them for being so damn well behaved. Some of them posed for photo’s, others swam past quickly showing me their bum.

Anywayyyyyyyyyyy… so afterwards, the room started clearing out and we found ourselves almost all alone still staring at the tank teasing the fish when we decided to end our evening off by walking through the aquarium so that we can find other weird looking fish we can tease.

And there were so many and I will be here all day if I had to get into detail here now. Such as the sole fish, the upside down jellyfish and the Giant Groupie/Groupa/Gthing ..

After what was probably an insane amount of time, I realised that we were in danger of getting locked in because no one will even know we still there.. and I started panicking like only I can!! You now, heavy breathing, manic looks in all directions for the nearest exit and the clutching of a cellphone that had boggerall signal down there anyway! When SexyG grabbed me, told me to relax and assured me that we wouldn’t get locked in there.. I made him promise.

He just stood there holding me against him, he leaned in and whispered for me to close my eyes because he has a pressie for me. I giggled a little and closed my eyes.

A long pause, a very long pause.. and then he did it. He did the one thing I least expected. He did the thing I have been waiting for him to do for a looong time. He asked me to spend the rest of my life with him, He asked me to marry him.

I didn’t say a thing, I couldn’t actually talk so all I did was grab him and kiss him hard and long. I had no words for what felt like ages, had no idea how to react and in fact laughed a little as he put the ring on my finger and asked him “are you sure?” <— what a fucking stupid question!

I then pulled myself towards myself and repeatedly uttered the word yes while bestowing him with kisses and smiles.

OMG!! I am engaged to the man of my dreams, I am promised to one that makes my knees weak and my heart bippity bip..

I love you SexyG and I am proud to call you mine, now and forever <3

Crap how I am going to get any work done now??
