Saying I've been through a lot over the last couple of weeks would be a bit of a lie...
Three weeks ago my grandfather passed away at home. The closest man I had as a father, who grew me up while my mother and grandmother worked, who always loved walking distance from me, passed away 12 days before my wedding.
If that wasn't enough to deal with, the next day we got a call from my auntie telling us that my grandfathers only brother that lived in Australia with him also passed away a couple of hours ago.
The two brother 24 hours apart from each other.
Not only did it feel like being hit by bus two days in row but the goosebumps that went up and down my spine that day will haunt me for life.
Feeling absolutely devastated yet still feeling relieved that they both moved on together.
Two viewings, multiple cemetery visits, multiple church visits and two huge funerals... literally days before my wedding.
At this point in time I couldn't of cared less about the wedding. I was so down and felt so guilty to be going ahead with it, but every single person from both of the mourning family were adamant that we went ahead with the wedding and that my grandfather would of wanted us too... which is true.
Days from the wedding, our best man needed emergency surgery and was booked in 4 days before the wedding, our car broke down and cannot be repaired, our page boy caught a horrible vomiting virus, my best friend/bridesmaid lost her voice completely but was supposed to be singing our first waltz for us and my mother had tonsillitis and nearly needed to be hospitalised.
Oh I was also insane enough to go to work for a whole day as I had practically missed a whole week of work due to funerals.
The stress. That breaking point.
Wedding day 👰🏼🎩
Pretty much flew through it! I finally got to marry my absolutely amazing man @augustus_winchester 😍
If one thing went wrong, I don't know, I may have required hospitalisation.
Everything was fine, nothing really went wrong and everything was perfectly timed.
There were a few moments through the day where we all go ready, had a cry but overall we all forgot about everything that led up to this moment and actually got to enjoy it.
Now I'm away on my honeymoon in Hawaii. Just being away from home right now is all I needed.
Still have another week here before making our way to Tokyo for 9 days.
I'll keep you all posted.
But thank you for understanding my absence and inactivity, a few of you asked where I was hiding but I'm here now and I'm feeling a thousand times better ❤️
