Return of the Bridezilla

Allo! 

It's me, I'm back! I've returned from wedding oblivion – you know that place brides go to be mental and not care about anyone or anything else whatsoever? Well, I made it out alive. Just.

I aint gonna deny it – I was one seriously mental bride. Well not a mental bride, but I was off my rocker for around 6 months beforehand. The wedding took over my life, it's all I thought about, talked about and dreamt about. So for all those I see a lot, I apologise. It's over now and I hope you still love me.  Poor Sami. Poor, poor Sami. I'm so surprised he was there at the end of aisle and not half way around the world screaming 'I'm freeeeee!'

Wow, all that craziness for one day. But what a day it was! I won't go on about it because less face it, other people's weddings are boring but it was lovely and a lovely experience. I loved it all and I'm so happy to be Mrs Ceyhan (pronounced Jeyhan, yep, you read that correctly a 'C' pronounced as a 'J') Some people say it's no different and technically it isn't – you're still the same annoying people but it just feels more solid now and to share the same surname makes it feel like you're even more of a team. I dunno how to explain it but basically I'm loving this marriage stuff. On honeymoon Sami and I kept saying to each other 'Dunno what everyone moans about, this marriage lark is great!' Lol! But we were on a beach in Mauritius and had only been married 5 minutes.

Right, I promise I won't go on about weddings any more, if I go on too much you have permission to punch me in my eye.

So apart from honeymooning, I haven't been up to much. We are thinking of selling the flat to buy somewhere bigger and we had an estate agent round today but nothing is actually happening just yet, we are trying to figure out our options first but it's all very exciting! It's weird – I don't feel grown up enough to be doing all these things like getting married and selling property! Selling and buying a new house is what you do in Monopoly, not in real actual life. It's madness I tell you! Madness!

Lupus wise its all the same old, same old - one day good, 4 days bad etc etc. I thank the Lord I was well on the wedding day as I had been pretty awful the few weeks before but I think it was all stress related. I've not been too bad since though, I'd say I'm better than usual but I think it's because I'm still on a high from the wedding and our honeymoon. I don't have post wedding blues or anything like that I'm just wandering around in my pink and fluffy bubble of happiness with the song 'happy' on repeat. Lol.

I have been quite bored with no wedding/honeymoon to plan though. What the frick did I do beforehand??? I really want to get a part time job but it's hard because when I feel well I'm all like ,'Yeeeeah, I can get a part-time job, it will be fine!' Then I get ill and I'm like 'What was I thinking? I can't be getting no part time job! You is crazy girlfriend!' haha. So I dunno, if I do it would only be local and maybe a couple of 4hr shifts or something. Sami reckons I just need to up my 'wife game' and start baking. I love cooking but I've never really been into baking – I'm scared I'd get too into it and we'd both end up morbidly obese. I often take things to the extreme – I'm not the kind of person to do things half heartedly, it's all or nothing! So I might have to leave the baking thing. Hmm, maybe I could just make my own bread or something? Sami would come home and there would be bread everywhere! Nope, I'll just stick with my normal cooking. 

I made a lasagne last night big enough for a family of 6, we eat half of it between us and then I wonder why I've gained weight since the wedding. Speaking of which, Sami being the wonderful man he is made it quite clear I'm not allowed to get fat or 'let myself go' now that we are married. I grassed him up to my Dad hoping he would say Sami is out of order or something along those lines but he said, 'Well, I think Sami should make you try on your wedding dress every year to be sure it still fits.' Cheeky bastards! They said they were joking but I think they kind of meant it. I told Sami he has to try his suit on every year as well and he just replied with 'At least I will get better with age, you'll just deteriorate.' Nice! 
Men do though don't they? With their distinguished grey hair and more mature outlook on life . What happens to women? We grow beards and tits down to our ankles. I'm gonna start saving for surgery now.

Anyway, not sure what else there is to tell you really, I could waffle on about our wedding and honeymoon but I'm sure that's not that interesting to you so I'll spare you the boredom. Other than that nowt much else exciting is going on.

After reading loads of negative stuff lately I decided I was gonna do a post about all the best feelings in the world such as fresh bed sheets, etc but I fell asleep (damn fatigue) so I'll probably do it another day. Aahhh! It's good to be back! I've missed blogging and waffling on about my life! I'm still surprised people actually read this shite.


Right, that's it from me, have a good weekend my lovelies and I shall be back soon.

Lupus & Me/ More like My Wedding & Me...

Hi everyone,

It's been a busy few days of drinking champagne, opening cards, going out and celebrating etc - it's wonderful! I love being engaged!  It's just so happy and lovely.  I haven't even been 'lupusy' I think it's because I'm too happy!  Ooops maybe I shouldn't have said that.  Stay away Lupus! You aint welcome round here!

Lots of people are asking so now you're engaged whens the wedding?  Well to be honest I still feel a little bit shocked and I'm loving this engaged feeling so we're not in any rush but we are hoping around October next year.  Sami's sister is getting married in February so I think 8 months after her is an acceptable amount of time.  If Ela wasn't getting married then we might have even done it sooner but I'm happy to wait and we'd never steal her thunder so we'll make sure its a while afterwards.

I don't really see the point in being engaged now and waiting years to  get married...That doesn't make sense to me.  Unless we had to wait in order to save money or something but I don't think we'll need that long as we'll probably have quite a small wedding.  A few days after we got engaged I asked Sami when he'd like to get married and he said 'Well as soon as possible really as there's no reason to wait years.'  I think the tradition is to get married a year later? I'm not sure, I think that's what most people do though.  I mean we're not in any rush but I don't want to be engaged forever.

We'd like to have a low key wedding with just our nearest and dearest so it shouldn't take too long to plan - maybe I'm being naive I don't know but I'll soon find out!  We'll probably have a maximum of 70 guests and we're thinking of having the reception in a pub so we'll see.  I just want the day to be about us and our marriage - I don't want the 'wedding' to take over that.  I bet I end up with 200 people in a huge stately home!

I'm thinking of having an engagement party when we get back from holiday as mine and Sami's families don't really know each other so I thought it would be nice at the wedding if everyone has already been acquainted with one another.  Plus I want to celebrate this as much as possible! We've had such a shitey few years and now this wonderful thing is happening I want to make the most of it.  It feels so nice to be able to celebrate and have this joyful occasion in our lives.

I really can't wait to be married to Sami.  I can't believe he actually proposed to me but I have to say I'm glad he waited as now I know he is definitely ready and I'm loving how into it all he is.

Anyway I don't want this to be a wedding blog so I won't bang on about it too much and we'd also like to keep our wedding details etc quite private so hopefully I wont go on and on about stuff that no one actually cares about! Chair covers this and centre pieces that...no thanks.

So back to the real purpose of this blog - living with Lupus.  As I said earlier I've been feeling pretty well of late.  I am super tired but I haven't really been sleeping well  - I wake up about 6am everyday and think 'Wow I'm engaged!' and then I can't  get back to sleep because I'm so excited and have all these wedding ideas going round my head.  But other than being tired I'm fine.

We are going on holiday on Sunday so I've got lots to do before we go, house work, packing, insurance etc plus we have a 30th birthday party to go to on Saturday.  Can't wait for the party but we'll have to leave early as we have a 10 hour flight the next day.  Sami and I are NEVER the first to leave a party - we're usually the last! It will feel odd leaving early but needs must and all that.

I cannot wait for our holiday - the sun can be a trigger for Lupus so I'll obviously have to be careful but I'm not massively into sunbathing anyway so I'll probably sit in the shade with my book.  I'll come back white and Sami will be all tanned - jealous? me? Never.  I've got Irish skin so even if I didn't spend most of the time in the shade I'll still come back white with a hint of pink.  Sami gets a lovely colour but his Dad is Turkish so maybe that helps!

When we booked this holiday I had no idea we'd be engaged so now I call it our 'engagement moon' God knows where we'll go on our honey moon now that we are going to the Maldives...I think I'd like to stay in a log cabin somewhere with a cosy fire place.  Sorry, I'm going on about weddings and shit again aren't I? I can't help it - it's all I think about.  I didn't blog for ages because I can't think of anything else to talk about or say other than my engagement! OUR engagement - must get into the habit of saying we and our - I keep saying I'm engaged instead of we're engaged.

I bought Sami grand theft Auto the other day - I think I may come to regret that as its been played rather a lot lately he even jokingly suggested he bring it with him to The Maldives. Well I hope it was a joke....

I had better go and get on with all my chores.  I probably won't do another post now until after the holiday so keep well and I look forward to updating you all once I'm back.
