Well, yes, I disappeared. Which is unacceptable blogging etiquette, I know. I have excuses, which I will list here (in bold). But I completely get it if you left and never wanted to come back, but now are just taking a sneak peak cause you've seen I've added new content and might give me a second chance??? Will you? Please?
A few bits have changed pretty hugely since my last post.
Firstly, well, I am officially a bride, and in London. So the blog title is still apt. Just saying.
The becoming a bride bit took place last September (3rd) and it was pretty fantastic. I'll have some recap posts and lots of pics for you soon.
The London bit is nearing a year (!!)... in two months! Will soon have my Spouse Visa and be allowed to live here for the rest of my life, should I feel the need to do so. (Well, it's good to have that option...)
Have (nearly) finished the bloody awful, long, painful, thesis-writing process. (It went down to the wire. Handed it in on the absolute final due date, four days before the wedding! I had to... boy/man said he would not marry me otherwise. I know he would have anyway but it was pretty darn good motivation.) I am now working on my final (minor) corrections and get to forget about this 200-page stack of papers filled with long words and theories for the rest of my life in 3 short weeks. I can't wait.
I found a new job! A proper central London one in a big office by the Thames! (Well it's no longer new cause I started in November, but still pretty cool!) It's all about projects and details and research and events and educational stuff and coordination and writing. Loving it so far!
Boy/man and I are finally beginning our Great British (well, North London) House Hunt. It was the only item outstanding from my list of 2011 goals. Not bad, considering. I'll have an upcoming post about the London real estate market. Let me just say the real estate agencies are manned by a bunch of good-for-nothing scumbags. Yes - I went and used the strong language. There's one agency we've now nicknamed BairfacedThieves. It rhymes with the real place but I won't name it here, in case we do find a place through them. But so far, they suck. All of them. And I will soon tell you why.
So that's a bit of a life update. I know you're on here for the wedding stuff. Or the London stuff. So I'll get onto those soon.
Thanks for coming back... I missed you.

| A little wedding teaser. We did have an arch in the end. Birch trees and flowy white fabric. |
