My Journey from a Miss 2 a Mrs!

Welcome,
Join me on my start to finish journey to my long awaited BIG day... or in my case days!

Let me start off by telling you a little about us. As the description at the top of this page suggests we are a mixed faith and culture couple. Him being Catholic and from an Irish/Scottish & English decent, me being Muslim and from an East African/East Indian decent. Those aren't the only things that make us unique.... I'm also 5 years older than he is... dun dun dun... Bring it on, Ive heard it all cougar, cradle robber lol its all good and Ill tell you why... He is truly the first man that Ive dated young or old that makes me feel beautiful on my ugliest days, like an angel on my moodiest, worthy when I feel worthless and cheerful when I am sad. If that doesn't say it all I don't know what does!

Anyway we have been together for 1.5 years and have known we were right for each other for perhaps 1.2 of that time. I for one am at an age where Ive dated enough losers (like the one who fell asleep one our first date or the winner that brought his own beer on a date then asked a complete stranger if he wanted to touch my um... "woman parts"... yeah trust me Ive been on dates with some real gems) to know when Ive found someone special so for me this was a no brainer.

I decided to start this blog to document my process and to hopefully provide an outlet for discussion, venting, research & sharing of anything wedding related.  As a makeup artist I'm constantly surrounded by brides and I'm here to finally say its my turn!

Ok Ok so I'll admit there's a small hitch, I'm not quite engaged yet... officially that is but I AM a Capricorn and we do like to plan so...

My man friend has given me the indication that things will be official within the next 4-6 months so in the mean time I'll collect photos (ok fine I've been doing this for a while), bookmark cool wedding related websites and blogs and dream of the day I  can officially celebrate my ...er I mean our wedding!

Stay tuned for more posts as I do my research planning before the actual planning... geez can you tell I'm a type A personality!
