Eeek! ?
We've kept everything very low key to date with a just a few people knowing the date etc. But today we will be posting (and delivering overnight) our Save the Date cards. I realised last night just how nervous I am about this. Not because I'm doubting 'us' but because this is the moment where I open myself up to the comments: 'oooh third time lucky' or 'well you'll be wanting to do it low-key' or 'I'm surprised you're brave enough to do it again' or, worse still, '(groan) here we go again'.
I'm so hoping that people won't feel like that. I didn't choose this path for my life to follow - widowed once and divorced the second time (having been abandoned after just 3 months).
We have battled hard to get to where we are and have shown great commitment to each other already. We know this is the right thing for us. I just want other people to know it too. Possibly just the first bit of pre-wedding nerves kicking in but I don't want anything to take the sparkle off this ...
Perhaps our quirkly Save the Dates will help. They're cunningly disguised as valentines cards! Red envelopes with a big gold question mark on the back!
