I haven’t intentionally abandoned my new blog already, I swear. You see, I’ve been quite busy planning my Christmas wedding with my new husband.
Some of you know that my 1st marriage ended badly due to (his) cheating, lying, and general shadiness. It’s been more than 5 years since the ex left and I wasn’t planning on ever getting remarried.
That was before I met Ken earlier this year on Facebook dating.
Long story short, we’ve been inseparable since the day we met and haven’t looked back since. I am so happy. I never dreamed that I would find someone like him but I suppose that’s what makes life so unpredictable, eh?
He proposed the day after my 48th birthday in August and we mutually decided upon a small wedding at home. The entire Christmas theme is meaningful to both of us. He dressed as Santa to help cheer himself along while having cancer a while back. I’ve had a serious lack of Christmas spirit, especially since my mom died in 2019. My mom WAS Christmas and without her, the entire season felt empty.
We got married on December 10, 2022. We planned it together, with some help from my brother and sister-in-law.
My brother was the Best Man and my daughter was the Maid of Honor.
It was a festive, beautiful wedding day and we couldn’t be more pleased with how it went. We spent the next day at home doing nothing but watching TV, eating leftover food, napping, and being together as husband and wife.
Now it’s time to get ready for Christmas! For the first time in years, I am not dreading it.
