What’s with the wedding photo as my profile you ask?
Well this week we will be celebrating 10 years.
Wanna know how we got together?
I moved to this town straight out of University. I had a relative and a friend here, and knew no one else. I was offered a really good job at a newspaper and decided to go for it. I was young – just turned 21 and had never had a serious job before. Show me the money, I said. Not that it really paid that well in hindsight hahaha.
I lived with a friend of my mother’s for about 3 months and knew I had to find my own place. So my friend’s mother asked a girl she had worked with if she knew of anyone looking for a flatmate. She did actually – it was her brother-in-law. I didn’t really care who it was, I was just excited to be so carefree! So this guy knew I was coming around to check the place out. I knocked on the door and within 3 minutes I had a key and was able to move in the next day. Well we lived as flatmates for about 6 months. I hardly saw him. He did disappear for days on end, so I was rapt to have the run of the place!! I used to invite all my friends over and we would drink until 4am AND then work the next day….arrrggghhhhh.
Then one night after about 6 months my flatmate was home for one of our drinking sessions (remember I was only 21 so I was allowed to do these things!) and he ended up kissing a friend of mine. Over the next 3 weeks I started to get really annoyed at this. Why? I asked myself. Huh??? I think I must have been jealous. So being a silly young girl one night I asked if he wanted to come to the pub with me. He said yes.
I don’t really need to tell you the rest, but I stopped paying rent after that day 🙂
BUT, we were engaged 8 weeks later and married 6 months later!
The rest is history as they say…..
Here are some photos of our special day.
