Look-a-Like

The first time I met Prince, I was just a girl on a lookout for a free personal trainer..but instead I found the man of my dreams. I was captivated by his smile and for some reason I felt like I knew him from somewhere...Didn't take long for me to realise it was Kanye!

 

 

 

Since I made this discovery I started to wonder if him and Kanye have anything else in common. I was shocked to discover that Prince in his earlier days was a rapper who went under the name of Nice King - You have to give him credit for such an original name...When he was moving house I came across a piece of paper with his lyrics and I literally could not stop laughing..it was possibly the funniest thing I had ever laid eyes on. I could just imagine him with a fake american accent talking about cars, girls and money. I honestly think he could have made it...

 

 

 

Another similarity is the natural ability he has to do the unexpected. Prince always has an opinion and loves to be heard. I'm pretty sure if any speeches are boring at the wedding, this scenario could play out...If they follow my advice and make the speech into a rap, its unlikely this will happen but no-one ever listens to me...

 

 

They both promote the fitness industry and help whip people into shape.

 

 

Hopefully I will see results like this: On a serious note though if I don't see results like this my whole life is a joke.

 

 

This may come as a shock to some of you but Prince wasn't born with weights in his hands and he didn't start working out from an early age. He's not just a cutie, a beauty with no brain, a trophy husband! Something Kanye and Prince don't have in common is - my baby is a Maths Graduate and Kanye is a college dropout! (Disclaimer: No offence if you dropped out: Uni is not for everyone)

 



Bridezilla Mode Activated

These 2 girls are possibly the most annoying people on the planet. They go by the name of Jessica and Makda respectively - please see picture below:

(If you see them in public feel free to spontaneously slap them)

P***a and S******l

I genuinely don't know how I've managed to put up with these guys for the past 4.5 years when they can't grasp or execute simple tasks.

There are 3 simple duties they need to fulfill:

Emotional Support 
I may at times feel overwhelmed from the details of planning and dealing in general with a guy like Prince. As bridesmaids and supposedly good friends, they should  pitch in when needed and stop the general public from raining on my parade!!! Instead these 2 jokers have taken it upon themselves to be the source of my issues instead of the solution.

The Bridal Shower
The gathering where I get showered with gifts! Makda was supposed to plan this fun gathering without my involvement but I guess a 1st Economics bsc degree does not prepare you for the real world! Is it really too much to ask to gather approx 40 females under one roof, organise some food and entertainment - inform the guests that I will be opening all their gifts publically to ensure they are decent??? A real bridesmaid would make sure that this event was her priority but not Makda - she decided to book a holiday to Israel 94 days before the wedding, wrote me a formal email to say she would hand over her responsibility and has threatened on many occassions to ruin my day! This behaviour is not acceptable and hopefully when she gets back from Israel and walks where Jesus walked her mind will be transformed!

The Bachelorette Party
I was sooo happy the day my lovely, amazing, charming Prince gave me the green light to go abroad for my bachelorette party! I called Jessica straight away to tell her to get to planning - she and Dami were meant to organise the trip of a lifetime. However, as I hit the 100 days till my wedding mark, I wanted to know how plans were going... I was told that everything was amazing and we'd be jetting off to an unkown location. Jessica decided to call me when I was at work to inform me of the new plans for my hen night...I saw red and bridezilla mode was activated. It was the last straw!!!What I want is very simple and I don't want excuses, I don't want opinions, I just want results!


Disclaimer: I love these guys very much and I'm sure both events will be amazing...

Marriage Counselling

You know its a deep situation when you need counselling before you get married....

Prince and I attend marriage counselling sessions every Sunday, so I will be dedicating this post to the topic we covered :-

Duties of the Husband:

1. Head of the Family

2. Let Her feel loved, wanted and accepted

3. Respect and Honour Her

4. Provide, Protect and Care for Her

5. Fulfill her needs - Spirtually, mentally and physically

I liked this session because I feel that the wives role is spoken about alot whereas the role of the husband can be limited to make money and provide for your family; but a husbands role is so much deeper than that.

A husband needs to know how to protect his wife: Prince does this very well but as you all know from yesterdays post, sometimes he forgets to protect me from himself

A husband needs to know how to sacrifice for his wife: Prince always gives me the last bit of his food (unless he's really enjoying it)

A husband needs to know how to encourage his wife: Prince encourages me to cook, go to the gym and be quiet...

Next week, we will be discussing duties of a wife but lucky for him...I'm pretty much there. If I was asked to describe myself in 3 words it would be submissive, patient and a really bad liar.

The way to a mans heart...

Since I got engaged my mother has been urging me to cook more often so I can be as confident as possible when I go to my own home. I thought this was lovely advice and I can honestly say that I've been making an effort...especially as Prince is always hungry and is in a much better mood when he's well fed.

Prince and I were in the car on our way to our Maths Tuition Class and me being the loving fiance that I am...I decided not only to prepare him a wonderful breakfast consisting of bread and butter accompanied with a blackcurrant drink but I also decided to feed it to him whilst he drove!

Most guys would appreciate this gesture, I could even go as far as to say they would fall in love with me all over again. I've heard the way to a mans heart is through his stomach...but I was in for a shock!!! I put the 4th piece of the bread in his mouth and he

BIT MY FINGER!!!

To be honest his insubordinate behaviour is unacceptable and very UN-PRINCE like. His defense was that he thought my finger was a piece of chicken...REALLY???!!!

However, our marriage will not last if I don't forgive him for his indiscretion, so I have chosen to put the incident behind me and focus on his strengths. A great relationship isn't one where you never get angry, upset or irritated by each other but  its one where you rapidly resolve issues and bounce back to normal. Having said that, when we got home, he was back to his old tricks again!!! Anyone who knows me will know that I'm too sweet and innocent to deserve this kind of treatment...If you see me with a black eye...I did not walk into a door and I am not clumsy!

Even after the distress of having my finger mauled, I still can't wait to marry this guy and I'm genuinely happy that no day is ever the same when he's around!



On a completely random note: My friend, mentor and personal comedian Vivek Sharma (Future president of India) came to visit me in the afternoon. After conversations concerning the Ghana engagement and the dangers of a microwave, we started speaking about future business opportunities and I have made an executive decision to replace the Zumba craze with African Aerobics! I will release a video soon...so you can try it out and let me know what you think...

I got 99 problems but a husband aint one...LOL

I just wanted to incorporate 99 into my title...I don't actually have 99 problems...I have 3, 2 of which I will discuss in future blogs:

1. Bridal party - Main culprits: Makda Sahelu, Jessica Onah and One that doesn't want to be named

2. Where am I going to live???

3. Marrying a Personal Trainer/Gym Manager

I'm going to attack the 3rd problem today - just to clarify it's not 100% a problem because my h2b is an AMAZING PT & GM; there are just a few aspects of it that slightly, ok majorly get on my nerves. Luckily I'm not the jealous type (Major LOL)

Let me set the scene...girls walk into the gym and they see him looking like this:

 

And I go into the gym feeling like this:

Surrounded by girls who look like this:

Safe to say this is a problem! But anyone who knows me will testify that I don't focus on my problems...

I focus on solutions! I play to win! Failing is not an option!

Therefore, I have decided to give up my Big Tasty and replace it with a dry salad, give up sleeping and focus on my Insanity Workout and ultimately give up happiness and become depressed! Because the truth is you cannot lose weight until you are clinically depressed!!!

I officially have 99 days to either pray for a miracle, get depressed or make use of the fact that I'm marrying a PT in order to fit into the wedding dress I decided to buy 2 sizes smaller...#smartmove

Where do I begin?

Once upon a time, there lived an unhappy young girl. Her mother was dead and her father had married a widow with two daughters. Her stepmother didn't like her one bit...ok, that's not quite how it went down but my overall point is that my relationship with Prince has been a fairytale. Its had all the components - a prince, beautiful peasant girl and a witch (who shall not be named).

My lovely husband-to-be (h2b) proposed on New Years day with African Queen playing in the background which was fitting for three reasons:



My Prince on bended knee



1. New Years indicates a new start, clean sheet and is not difficult to remember

2. I am African

3. I am his Queen

See why I 'm marrying him...so thoughtful! Today in the car on the way to work he even made time to compose and sing a song to me: 

"I have a girl who never fails,

I have a girl who never fails,

I have a girl who never fails,

Who never fails, who never fails

To piss me off."

#truelove

So its New Years I'm 23 and engaged, can't wait to tell the world all about it because I'm marrying the man of my dreams, the apple of my eye, the butter on my bread etc. But its already on instagram coz my bro Joseph is quick like that, my Uncle Isaac has already sent the footage to Ghana and facebook has heard all about it... I'm telling people I'm engaged and they are telling me, they already know! Is this life???

I've now been engaged for approx. 4 months (where did the time go!!!) and I've been through alot mentally, emotionally and FINANCIALLY but having said that I'm still excited about getting married. These next 100 days are going to be instrumental and I've already got symptoms of a bridezilla but hopefully this blog will help me to release some steam...
