Travelling VS Wedding Planning- will he still marry me?
Dream, Believe & Make it Happen, That's what I tattooed on my ribs as a reminder that anything is possible and we should live the lives we want. I remember most of my life being single, people described me as too outgoing, loud, fun and adventurous. Even my niece calls me crazy aunty for God's sake! And of course I was always the one with the travel bug, always saving up to travel! My friends were always coming (and still are) to my farewell and welcome back parties- but it was always a good excuse to party!). Seemed like no man could handle me!
Now, that I have found love and someone who loves me for who I am (Thank you Luke), I was proposed to at the age of 31. For the first time in my life I felt safe and secure, and started ahead with the wedding plans for 17/06/2017. And by the way, my now fiance knows me too well, check out his mega proposal below.
Adventurous but hopelessly romantic right? But back to focus! So I was feeling secure finally and in a steady relationship. But, Luke had other plans; he quit his job and asked me to go travelling for 9 months, returning only 2 months prior to the wedding date. PANIC! Travelling or Wedding Planning?? My heart was saying yes of course, being a traveller, but my mind shouted NO! Now that I felt settled, I had fallen in society's trap, I was who society expected me to be. Luke reminded me what my tattoo means to me. He has helped me remember who I am and he has motivated me to take that first and most important step, leave it all behind to make it happen.
Realising that I did not enjoy my full time routine, I followed my heart, quit my job and I am setting off on a 9 month adventure with the love of my life to start our lives together from scratch. A blank page, not knowing what awaits, except for the love we cherish. This will be a journey to discover ourselves, build our relationship and have a shared vision for our life together.
Our Wedding is very important to us and I will eventually have my dream wedding, even though I don't have much time to plan it, but having a strong relationship is even more important.
This journey is the ultimate test of our relationship, 24/7 together for the next 9 months, combined with wedding planning and self exploration- will he still marry me?
