My Husband
Delightful December #3 (Disclaimer: Please don’t think that these posts are in order of my love. I completely do NOT love Post Offices more than my husband, I swear. And I’m not just saying that because he reads this)
I met my husband on 27th November 2009 at a mutual friend’s birthday meal (incidentally, both of us nearly didn’t go to this but then decided that we should and thus met each other. It was fate! aaawww). (Please note: He was of course not my husband at this point, it would be pretty weird to meet your husband after you had married him)
This was the night that we met. He was clearly very pleased to be sat next to such an attractive woman. We proceeded to bond over a lengthy discussion about cuttlefish and also Giant Jellyfish and Giant Squid (seriously, they all blow my MIND). We then spent the next 1.5 years in blissful happiness shown briefly in the photos below….
A trip to Wales where there is a really small house….
Some Part-ay-ing….
A 150 mile journey (I think… it might be more and it might be less, but it was definitely a looooong way) on a motorbike…
Some eating….
Some posing…
(I do the posing, Ben takes the pictures, that’s just the way we roll….)
and various other events until on May 14th 2011 he proposed to me and I said yes. There was then another year filled with more events (shown below) intertwined with the planning of a wedding (which I am very glad that I never have to do again. I am not the planning sort)
My graduation….
A holiday in Bath in a tall thin house…
2 hen parties….
And then finally our wedding (which is the next blog).
My Ben is the most fantastic husband in the world and I love him more than anything (even post offices and stationary), except possibly my family, but then he is a huge part of my family so loving my family equates to loving him anyway. He knows me better than anyone which unfortunately for him means he has to put up with a greater amount of the more insane parts of my personality than other people, but luckily for me he loves me despite all those (or because of those, at least that is what I tell myself). He is definitely a reason to be happy in December and indeed any other month of the year.

Awww I love this happy post!
yay! And I know what you mean about wedding planning – argh! If I ever have the misfortune of getting married a second time, I’m eloping.
@BohemianLotus - thanks!
@randaness - I did begin to think that it would all be easier if we eloped but then the actual day was fantastic. It was partly so stressful because we were trying to do it as cheaply as possible so we had to organise/arrange every single little thing. I began to understand why people can spend so much on weddings, if you have more money then you can pay one place to do everything involved and you just have to choose colours and stuff!
Your pre-wedding life was just like mine! I finished school and graduated and had 2 bridal showers (my stupid sister couldn’t be bothered to invite the ladies from his family to the one she threw me so his mum had to throw me another one with his family. It was all very annoying) all while wedding planning. I HATED wedding planning. I loved how my wedding turned out, but I think I also would have been happy if we just eloped. I’m not much of a party/large gathering person. If something, god forbid, should happen to make me single again, I don’t think I’ll ever get remarried. Once is enough for me.
@Persiankitty - I didn’t actually invite my husbands family to either hen party. I just don’t really have much to say to his sister and though I love his Mum, I knew that if she came she would find it very strange that my Mum was not there. My Mum hates all kinds of social gatherings, it throws her into a large panic, I was very proud of her for managing to stay for the whole of my wedding but I hate the thought of people who don’t know her judging her.
You’re both absolutely adorable, especially together
@crazy2love - we do try!
Awww this made me happy. You two look great together. You’re lucky to have found a guy who loves taking awesome pics of you haha. On a more serious note, I’m glad you found someone who loves you for you and makes you happy.
