This isn't going to be interesting for most of you, but I just wanted to share my amazing news.
My fiancée and I have just got engaged and, like most modern couples, are paying for our own wedding. This is on a very limited budget, which I'm actually excited about. I mentioned to one of my very good friends that I was getting my dress from Oxfam (their bridal room is lovely) and she was adamant that I not have a second hand dress.
A few days later I find out that she, my gorgeous sister and about eight of my closest friends had set up a facebook event auctioning off their skills to raise money for my dress. I am still speechless at this gesture. People I don't even know are contributing, all for me. I'm not ill, I'm don't work for charity (although I did change my name by deed poll for breast cancer care - different story!) and I don't think I've done anything noteworthy, but here they are, doing all of this for me.
The auction is still going, and I'm going to donate some of the money to a charity as it's raised over £600 at the moment.
I wanted to tell you all that love is contagious and infectious and I'm so so happy!!
