Next time i blog i would be married i guess
So our trad is in 9 days.....that is next weekend
All is set
All that is left is follow - up calls to vendors
I'm not excited.....i'l explain why maybe later
That said, i would do all i can to enjoy my day as a lot of my efforts and money have gone into it
I need a little help though
The fiance's birthday is the day after the trad, wanna get him something not too pricey (obviously!!!) he can use for the church wedding.
He isn't expecting anything as we'v discussed that I'll buy him a proper gift when i go to England in April.
But this is his first birthday as my hubs figure i should give him something.....
Any suggestions??????
P.s seems like miss Definitely maybe passed on if the anonymous on her page is to be believed! wow!

random wierd ish
Its almost midnight. I'm lying on my bed. Listening to music from the 90s. Its making me nostalgic.
Some of the music reminds me of my ex.. Our love for rap music and jay z was one thing we had in common. Funny how I spent six years with him and I can't really remember our relationship per say. Its like that part of me never existed. I wonder at the fickleness of love. How can someone be your world today and Tomorrow irrelevant in the grand scheme if things.
In less than 4 weeks I'll be married. I remember being that little girl that stayed up the entire night digesting romance novels, wondering about prince charming and how it felt to be swept off my feet and find true love and live happily ever after. When did I grow up and how did it happen so fast? I'm tempted to go and wear my wedding dress. Its hanging in my wardrobe waiting for my big day.
I'm crying....I don't know why. I'm so emotional these days. The slightest thing makes me cry.
Earlier this evening I looked at my dad and I felt so bad for all the fights we have had over this wedding planning. Some people wish their dad was alive to see their big day and here I am stressing about him hijacking my wedding. I love my dad so much and I'm thankful to God for keeping him and my mom alive to be a part of this.
My mom.....my respect for her has tripled since I became engaged. Its so hard to be a woman in this male dominated world. Harder self to he Married to a man like my dad I guess...its hard being his daughter....wonder how it is to be his wife. Childbirth...nurturing...all the sacrifices....its not easy at all. I pray God blesses her with long life to enjoy the fruit of her labor.
My friends have been amazing throughout this process. I have few friends and they have all come through for me.
This whole planning process has been a roller coaster of emotions. I guess its almost here.
I just need to survive the remaining three weeks.
I wonder how marriage would be....I pray its nowhere close to what this planning has been though.
I guess I'm about to find out
The tears are all gone....I'm actually smiling now....wierd indeed.

my sister is getting married tommorow
Tomorrow. My sister that God sent to another family is getting married.
We'v been friends since I was six and we moved to Lagos from Kaduna. She was the cute friendly little seven years old in the jeans mini skirt & cream top in church that sunday that was the beginning of a 19 year relationship.
She was the only daughter of her parents like I was and we decided to be each other's sisters.
By some stroke of fate, we ended up in the same secondary school. I remember those Saturdays she spent practicing to weave hair with mine (she soon perfected it like every other thing she laid her hands on).
She helped me grow spiritually and I helped her focus academically.
After secondary school, we went to the same jamb lesson. Ah! Those days of breakfast in her house.
Remember when she came to my house to tell me she got admission. We both cried and wrote about each other in our diaries. Lol.
Then her family moved to abuja! We did not have the holidays anymore.
When I got engaged I called her and she was so happy for me. Two weeks later she called me that her boyfriend proposed.
Fastforward to December. I bought my tickets to abuja. So I could go by road with her and her family to jos for her wedding.
With all these bombing and boko haram threat. My mom & my dad asked me not to go. Was gonna disobey them but they have a point. The whole Nigeria is unsafe. The North is triply unsafe.
My sister is getting married in jos tomorrow and I am here. Lying on my bed in Lagos, typing this, tears in my eyes.
Screw this country
Screw boko haram
Screw the Government for making fuel subsidy their priority with the current state of insecurity in the country
Happy married life J
Happy new year everybody
