MissB to MrsH

Well, after reading a thread on a favourite forum of mine, in which people were exchanging blog sites, I decided that I'd give it a go. Why not?

The problem I face, is what the hell do I talk about.. Well, this is a huge year for me; I get married in just 23 days (hence the blog name!), I qualify as a counsellor in a couple of months, my hubby to be has recently been made redundant, and we're trying for a baby, so I've got lots going on! There must be something for me to talk about in this drama of a life of mine!

So here I am, a blog newbie, releasing my thoughts and feelings onto the interweb. Let's see how it goes..

I am on a weight loss mission for my wedding. I have put on over 1 & 1/2 stone in the last 18 months, since coming off the pill. I had some tests done at the docs recently which showed I have an insulin resistance. My doc advised me to follow a carb free diet for a while to see if it helps. Well, it bloody has, the weight has fallen off since! I started at 10st 13lb about a month ago, I weighed myself this morning and I am 10st 1lb! I am nearly back to the 9 stone club again, nothing can describe how happy this makes me. I want to look back on my wedding day pictures in years to come and be happy with how I look, the way it's going, I'll think get my wish.

We aren't having a conventional wedding, we're eloping to Gretna Green, Scotland. We had originally planned to just run away and not tell anybody, but we started to worry about how our families would react. So we decided to tell our parents. My Mum and Dad were made up for us, they think it's very romantic, as does my fiances' Dad. His Mum, however, isn't best pleased. She's made up that we're marrying (we have been together for 7 years afterall) but she doesn't like the thought of not being there to watch us take our vows. I do understand this, but neither of us want a fuss, we just want to go off, on our own and get married. She's been making it pretty tough and awkard for us but I think she's starting to understand that this is what we want, and I think she's starting to accept it now. Although, my fiance keeps joking that she could turn up in Gretna on the day, oh god, as if I haven't got enough to worry about!

After we'd told our parents, we decided to just tell everyone, it saves us the hassle when we get home. Everyone else we've told have been made up for us, brothers, sisters, nans, friends, family etc.. It's lovely to see everyone so happy for us, and so supportive of our decision. It definately confirms that what we're doing is right.

I will be a wife in just 23 days, should I be scared? Because I'm not, I'm really really excited, and I've never been so sure of anything in my whole life....
