Guess WHAT?

I am getting married!!!

Yes, I know... Wooooooooooooh!
So many things to say and not so much time...

Eric and I started talking about getting married back in January (see, I can keep a secret [Lily Aldrin, HIMYM]), while on vacation, after a very crazy Christmas Trip on the boat with the Owners and their Family... At first I said no because I watch too much telly and I wanted a proper proposal Barney' Style (Okay I am now going to start talking about HIMYM otherwise I will get less excited, because Yes, I am still FURIOUS about the finale!). Eric and I were coming out of a crazy trip, as I mentioned already, and a fight over I-don't-remember-what-probably-was-just-the-stress, so the proposal was more of a business proposal, you know...a let's talk about this kind of style, while instead I wanted the surprise and all the prettiest things in the world... But he got me thinking, he kept talking about it in the right moments so eventually I said YES, let's do it.

I will spare you the whole story but we decided to have something very small... Me, him, his friend Tom who's a reverend and a photographer. Pretty basic!

We are going to get married in St Simons Island on May 6 wait for it... 2014... Yes... 3 weeks from now! We set the date a month ago, when the boat confirmed (due to the crossing) our month off in May, before the Ester Trip with Owners, their family and Friends (a total of 48 people - crew included - on board) but our beloved boss had so much fun that wants to try to come on board the first weekend of May... but he is busy so he still has to confirm it and time is running out... Eric and I were supposed to start our Holidays by the end of April, you know, in order to cut some loose ends... So here we are now... waiting... luckily is not a big wedding but still... I set my heart on that date...

I am keeping my fingers crossed because:

1. The trip is still not confirmed... that means the boss is very busy and maybe it's more likely he is not going to do it even if he wants so badly...


2. The trip they are talking about is a 2 people trip... You do not need 28 crew on such a tiny trip...


3. We talked to the Captain and the Purser (the rest of the crew doesn't know*) explaining why we wanted May Off so badly and they understand and if the trip is in May and it is small they are not going to need us...

So I would say there is a 5% chance it is not going to happen, and for me that means that the glass is basically full! I will keep staying positive about it.

Are you ready to take a look at some dresses???
I tried on 5 and it was difficult to decide but I think I have chosen the perfect one!

( PRETTY PRETTY DRESSES! )

*If you read my Boat Life Posts you will definitely understand why the crew has been kept in the dark. It is very difficult not to share the news on Facebook for me (since all my friends are on the other side of the Ocean and I managed to contact over email just the closest ones and Facebook helps) but I know that if I say it is not going to end up well with all the talking behind my back and other evil stuff they are capable of... Also... can you imagine if we have to cancel the wedding due to a trip? These girls are going to LOVE it... I can see crystal clear what would happen and I say NO THANKS!
So it is a secret... if we are Facebook friends please do not congratulate me over there... :)
