Our time in LA has come to an end and we are just about to take off from LA to go over the Atlantic. We are first stopping in Belfast to let off joe and the cats, and then Ellie and I are going to London for the brits.

I'm really thankful that airport security and customs and border patrol are always so wonderful with making adjustments so we can travel safely. At this point I can't really walk through an airport without it being a security hassle for me and other passengers. So ever since everything went down the drain in 2016, and I went into hiding, I have been driving straight to the plane and done the checking of passports and such on the plane.

It's so crazy to think that I haven't been in London since January 2020 when I was at the NME awards with joe and brought that wine glass with me on stage to accept an award. I may have been tipsy though so I'm blaming the pda with joe on the alcohol in my veins. It was a really fun award show actually, and I'm happy that I went to that rather than going to the Grammys.

Ellie is taking her 8:45 nap right now just as we are taking off and I just hope she will actually sleep until wakeup time and not be up again in half an hour because that means we will deal with a grumpy baby. We have been following a sleep schedule with 3 naps that we got from the doctor at her six-month visit. Adjusted the times slightly to fit out family but mostly we are just doing what's recommended.

Joe has his arm around me and I'm resting my head on his shoulder enjoying a moment to just feel one another. We have been making more time for one another recently which has been much needed. It's really helped us to not fight anymore because we take time to actually talk to one another. We haven't had a babysitter since my mom watched Ellie, but we find time now when she is napping or its nighttime. We really haven't prioritized it enough since Ellie was born and that's probably why we have had fights.

"Do you think she is going to enjoy Irland? Belfast is really pretty" I say as we stabilize in the air, and I start to drink my coffee. "I think so. It's going to be nice, we are there for a while so we might as well find stuff to do there together as there isn't paparazzi there" joe suggest, and I agree.

I'm spending three days in London for the brits and then I'm going to join joe in Belfast for a while. But in June I will have to go back to Nashville for a bit, I'm recording, and Ellie got a doctor's appointment, which works out because joe has some time off so he can come and that's when we decided to actually get married. We have been talking about marriage for years so it's nice to finally get around to do it. I'm really excited to be Mrs. Alwyn in my personal life. Publicly, in regard to my career, I will still be Taylor swift, but in normal life I will be Taylor Alwyn.

While I was in LA, actually yesterday, Selena and I went dress shopping.

** flashback **

With our masks on Selena and I go to a private showing at a world-famous bridal store in LA to look for wedding dresses. I've been looking some online but it's getting close to the wedding now and I'm already late to get a dress.

We look at about a dusin dresses in all shapes and types. I don't have a particular look im going for so that makes it harder to look. All I know is that I want something that's not long sleeves because it will be summer, and I want to feel like a princess for a day. That's what I really want, to feel like a real-life princess. Then I will have a second dress to change into for the reception that's a little more manageable because I think I'm going to end with a pretty princess dress.

I pull on a dress that didn't look as impressive on the hanger but when I turn around and look in the mirror, I know that this is it... This is the dress.
