Holy moly! The last time I wrote anything here was 30 January??? Well, good readers, if there's any of you left, have I got a story for you. You know most of it. Man of dreams, living in sin, etc etc. But there is something you don't know. On the eleventh of April, 2009, I became engaged to Mr Wonderful. He hid the ring in an Easter basket full of chocolate and when I found it, he got down on his knee and asked me to marry him. Obviously, I said yes.

We have kind of set a date. We're hoping for either the 26th of September or the 3rd of October. We (I) want a fall wedding and neither of us want to wait another year. We're getting on in age (I recently turned thirty. Ugh.), and don't have the luxury of a long engagement. So the stress of planning a wedding in six months or less starts now.

The main event, DRESS SHOPPING, commences on this coming Saturday. There is definitely an air of excitement around here. I can barely contain myself. I can't wait to put the first one on. I think that will be when it sinks in. I AM GETTING MARRIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So. The Genius Diaries resume, chronicling my quest for the perfect wedding. Meaning a nice place for a ceremony, a cheap, yet fabulous reception, and the beginning of an amazing life as Mrs Wonderful.
