Every time I see this film I cry.

And I would’ve put it with the original W-day post but frankly it deserved a slot all of it’s very own.

Xander and Christine of Navy Blur fame’s romantic rustic extravaganza was super popular with you gorgeous lot and I know their movie will make you melt.

So lovelies, grab yourself an afternoon cup of tea, a kitkat (or maybe a marshmallow on a stick) and enjoy the JOY.

A conversation with Mr Gossip Girl, aka our Adam, late one afternoon not so long ago at RMW HQ was the inspiration for this post.

You see folks, I’d been talking about the speech that I’ll be giving at my wedding later this month and was pointing out how I’d noticed that more and more brides were choosing to say something of their own on their big day when Adam turned to me and asked ‘when did you know you were going to marry Ste?’

Momentarily I was taken aback. It’s not a topic that anyone has ever quizzed me on and I suppose I was protective of my response to his question. That said, I had no real problem with answering him truthfully.

‘Three months in’ was my reply.

Admittedly, this does sound a little bit crazy. I’m sure for some of you the beginnings of my relationship with the boy sound a little ‘intense’ shall we say. But it wasn’t like that.

I’m happy to concede that the radiant glow of the ‘honeymoon’ phase of any relationship does make you see life through rose-tinted glasses rather than being guided by the cold light of day. And accompanying this optimistic, hedonistic, bubble of love can be some impolitic decision making.

Despite the lovey gloopiness however, I just ‘knew’ he was the one for me. And when you know, you just ‘know’, don’t you.

Know what I mean?

Was it like that for you? At what point in your own relationship did you start entertaining the thought of marriage?… View the full post.

That’s what Junior said to his friend as Ali walked into the bar he was working in….and the rest you can read about in amongst the super cute images by Lisa Carpenter.

I love a bicycle. And a stripe. And a hat.

That means that I love this whole thing A LOT.

Ali: According to Junior it goes something like this: I walk into a bar where Junior is working with his mate. He nudges his mate – and says…”check out the hot girl”. I go about my night quite happily, and know nothing of this. Junior goes away with work, and comes back to his mate saying he’s got a new girlfriend he really wants Junior to meet… I want into the bar, only for Junior to discover his mate had stolen me for himself! Junior being ever the gent carried on regardless, and was happy for his friend (quite happy in the knowledge that he’d get his day!).

I saw his friend for a few weeks, it was pretty clear it wasn’t going anywhere, so one night Junior spotted his big chance while we were all standing round chatting about the classic film that is Dirty Dancing. I say how much I’d love to do the lift one day (wouldn’t every girl!), to which Junior replies we could do it right there, right then.

I can’t really describe the excitement of being lifted, in the dirty dancing lift (truly something every girl should experience by the way!), and to this day Junior is adamant that was the moment where he knew I’d be his!… View the full post.
