| Yes, yes... nay neH is "Just Married" in Klingon |
So I've briefly mentioned this in a couple of my last posts and I'm sure some of you were like, wait what, did she just swipe over all that gossip of eloping? Like some kind of celebrity. And yes, yes I did.
But now I'll get all basic bitch and gush about my wedding day for those who want to know the full story -so if you're uninterested look away now.
The planning
We're both (myself and Bicky) quite practical people. Laid back, too. Bicky works in the wedding industry so sees his fair share of nuptials. While they're all wonderful celebrations for the happy couple and their families, it's just another, average work day for him. I've never had this childhood fantasy of a fairytale wedding day with a huge white dress, cake... None of that stuff. We're both also (super duper califragilistic) atheists, so a church was never going to happen either.
With all that in mind, and not wanting a big party or fuss or such, I always assumed if we were to bother getting married that we just wouldn't tell anyone. Perhaps, not at all. People might find out way into the future, if one of us was in hospital for example, but I would be content in never mentioning it otherwise.
After a brief discussion last winter (2017) we decided to get married in secret (but to tell people afterwards, as we kinda wanted to wear rings). That was it really. All very practical conversations.
- We applied to give our three months notice of intent to marry on March 5th, 2018.
- Picked a registry office that was open the day we wished to wed.
- Booked a hotel in to stay that night, the stunning Farnham Estate.
- And then a house in Achill for the week for our honeymoon (we just told people we were off on holidays to Achill).
