Reality time

I had a practice with the flower girls and page boys! It was an emotional time to say the least! Getting them to understand where the right and left foot were was an issue! But in the end it kinda worked out...

After the rehearsal I has to rush home to get the wedding programme coz we were summoned to a wedding planning meeting at church with the pastors. My printer decided that was a good time to mess up! Lovely.

The meeting was supposed to start at 6 but we got there around 8. Really???!!!! Life just gets in the way!!! Everyone had an opinion about everything...it was a bit peak!

So, it's nearly midnight...I left my main phone at home so I was unable to text the beautiful Lola to wish her a happy birthday: 



I'm so sorry for not going to her 21st birthday dinner! Sad times if you didn't invite someone and they are just finding out about it...This wedding stuff is crushing my social life! Truly do love you loads and hope your day was amazeballs!!!

13 days to go...well by the time you read this it will be 12

15 days...

I've had a brilliant day! I got really good news at work, I'm going to have a fantastic weekend! 

To celebrate Prince and I have come to our local African restaurant to eat some fish! We got here at 8, it's past 10 and our food is still not ready!!!

Normally we would be really pissed off but today we are genuinely confused. I mean, did they go to the sea to look for the fish? Prince thinks they are waiting for the fish to die of natural causes!!!

As this is an African restaurant there are a lot of old black men drinking and jamming. The environment is quite jammed but the DJ is blasting out music!

So picture this, loud music but not a single person dancing...so Prince and I decided to get some practice for our 1st dance...I felt like an animal in the zoo, everyone was staring!!!! Loved every second of it....#attentionrocks

Ok, will stop blogging now coz food just got here!!! Peace out A town!!!



15 days left.....craaaaaaaaaaap!!!!!!!!!!!! I can almost smell it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KMT

It took me 2.5 hours to get home instead of the normal 1 hour...#toopissedtoblog

What a day...

This day can be summarised in pictures but because I'm writing this blog on my phone it's a bit long...

I got mugged off 3x today...

1. By the people I call friends

2. My future husband

3. My mother 

Priya saved the day by picking me up from the station because my biological mother could not be bothered...

I will definitely explain myself tomorrow with all the appropriate pictures....

18 days!!!! #howdidthishappen

18 craaaaap...it's getting closer and closer....it's like I'm trapped in between 2 walls and they are about to crush me!!! Being engaged is like suffocating! I can't explain it too well but it's all a bit strange...



You can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but you can't quite reach it...You're trapped in between being single and married...it's a weird one

As you can see from my posts, when it gets bad it really gets bad...I literally went through 2 weeks of 1 sentence posts...and that was because the stress of it all, the late nights it just accumulates and you just pass out!

My body is now accustomed to 5 hours sleep because that's all I can afford to get nowadays...so much stuff going on in my life at the moment and I feel like I need a hobby or something to get my mind of life in general...

Today, after work I headed to the gym to meet Prince...since me actually working out has become a myth! I am considering liposuction!!!It's so tempting...I keep seeing adverts in the metro...it's like £100, which is actually in the grand scheme of things...cheap for a flat tummy!!! Anyways after I met Prince we went to our yard, where we were supposed to sort out some wedding stuff but instead Prince decided to sleep....lovely.

So I got in to a bit of a strop...he finally woke up...we were able to do wedding stuff for 5 mins then it was time for me to catch my train back to Slough...it was a very unproductive trip, but it was kinda worth it coz when I see him and I'm with him..I feel like nothing else matters...except for planning wedding stuff KMT!!!

My home

Today the weather was completely on point. However, I couldn't fully enjoy it because I was hungry and the combination of hunger and sun = a very dizzy Hannah. I literally couldn't walk in a straight line...I have never felt so weak....It was a peak situation!

I came home and when I say home, I'm talking about my future marital home....omd...I got mi own yard! Prince's best friend - Khalid and his fiance Mel came round...we had a lovely time. Khalid is a chef and he made us a really nice dish and I enjoyed every single bite...I don't know why but food tastes better when a man cooks for you. My girl Mel is living life fully....

We had a lovely chat and of course I had to bring up my outrage of the Trayvon case...but now that I think about it further...it's all about reasonable doubt. If the jury doubted about whether when he shot he intended to kill...it can get a bit hazy...especially as they had a fight before the shot. Hmmm still the jury should have been more balanced...6 women...5 white 1 hispanic..it's a bit of a joke.

As we were talking I realised that I liked jamming with another couple who actually love eachother...not just together for convenience etc. Conversation just flows and everyone was open and honest...it was refreshing...

This brings me to a convo I had with someone this afternoon about "settling"ie. staying with someone you don't particularly want to be with any more...but staying because you're comfortable, old, can't be bothered to start again... Marriage is too long, hard and will be butters if its with someone you don' love or respect.


Back to my home...I love it...coz it's ours and it's a blessing. Having our 1st guests today made me realise that it's real and it's happening. I'm an adult....craaaaaaap...better start acting like one...
