Jennie & Peadar are getting hitched!
We are pretty close to having a date and a venue for our wedding. Having been engaged for 10 weeks, we figured we still had a lot of time, but with our heart set on 22nd April (which is just about the only thing we’re bridezilla-ing about) we’ve been told that we need to get moving.
April 22nd will be Peadar and my 1500th day together. I have this things with dates and numbers and times.
On December 9th, Peadar proposed in front of our Christmas tree using the advent calendar he’d bought me as part of my 30th birthday. The calendar is a reusable one with felt pockets for each day.
The week before I’d been mocking him that I was yet to receive one of the advent calendar gifts as he was yet to fill them. He promised that on the 9th I could open all nine in a row. We’d taken the 9th off to go Christmas shopping and soak up the festive cheer and (privately) toast to our 1000th day.
The few days before though, had been pretty dramatic with a dose of the winter vomiting bug that took down all seven of my family. My Mum, Dad, brother, sister, sister’s boyfriend, Peadar and I all supported each other via our whatsapp thread through 48 hours of hell. On Tuesday morning, while I lay in bed trying to remember┬álife before this experience (seriously, it was that bad), Peadar pretended he’d to head into work for a few hours and really went to collect the engagement ring. This is the part of the story that floored me. I wouldn’t have gotten into a car that Tuesday even if there was a winning lottery ticket at the other end. But in he got. And push through he did.
Peadar started to get a bit unsure then about asking me at home. We wouldn’t be in this apartment for much longer and he wanted to be able to walk past the spot that we got engaged for years to come and say “that’s where I did it!”. But apparently (and I have no memory of this), around 11pm that evening, the night before Peadar proposed, I said as I drifted off “you know, this is my favourite thing to do. You and me, in our apartment, in front of our Christmas tree”. I think that was the final reassurance that Peadar needed is his weak state (seriously… you’ve no idea how sick we were).
I won’t get into the details of the proposal because some things are private, but it was amazing, and lots of fizz followed! Weeks of fizz in fact. And now, 10 weeks later, we sort of need to make a few decisions.
We want to DIY, we want to be different and all of those other cliches that go along with newly engaged couple vernacular. So I’ll keep shtum for now, and leave you with a photo that is 1000 days and 10 weeks old.
