This summer something happened that I have been keeping a lid on - well at least on the blog - and I'm about to burst! I hate keeping things from you...
When we were in New York this summer, Séb and I really experienced spending time together as city slickers enjoying suburban life where days were passed going on morning runs, gardening, swimming in my neighbor Enid's pool, walking into town to get groceries, barbecuing, going to the little farmer's market (two tables!) in the village green, discovering our new love and economical benefits for boxed wine (Black Box and Domaine Le Garrigon were our picks) and of course giving each other space to write and blog, or in my case, to torture my plump princess, Charlotte with unlimited snuggles.
I have never been with someone who shares a love for such simplicity. Lucien wanted to hobnob with New York City intellectuals and Parisian philosophers (meanwhile the guy didn't know any), MF didn't want to except that he was pushing 40 and still wanted to party, and all the other boyfriends in between would have just been plain bored. But with Séb, we are consistently on the same page...
I'm going somewhere with this. I promise.
With so much going on; our Househunters International episode, la rentrée, Paris Fashion Week, I've been trying to find the right time to tell you guys something, so for once, I'm just going to shut up and let this do the talking...
Séb proposed.
The lovely ladies at Walnut Paperie put together for us this sweet Save the Date or as they say in the wedding biz: "STDs" (Enter Beavis and Butthead chuckle). They kept the design simple, slightly girly and a little French with the nautical blue touches that fits exactly what I had in mind for the first round of communication regarding our news. And so there you have it...I'm engaged!
The wedding will be next summer in New York and being the Virgo that I am, I've actually organized most of the plans. I met with the coordinator, planned the menu, and hired the music. Now I don't have to fuss about until next year and more importantly, I won't bore you all with these details! There's nothing worse than that, right? I promise that this will not become a wedding blog!
I can't believe it! It's really happening! I have a feeling that this time around will go a lot better than the last time...here's hoping!
