I bet you all want to know who is waiting for me at the end of that aisle....wouldn’t you like to know? Was it Milo or Jay? Truth be told, I don’t even know how I ended up married to this person but I know I will never regret that I did. Things certainly haven’t gone to plan in any way but my marriage changed my life forever. Let’s start from the beginning of the day shall we?

I woke early on Saturday 20th of August. My room was in complete darkness, what time is it?

I grab my phone off the night stand. 4.20am. Urghh. I don’t actually need to be up until at least 9 but I know Steph will have me up before then. She’s been amazing through this whole thing.

Who would have though Fifty One days ago, I would be waking up on my wedding day, I never thought I would get here.

I may as well stay awake now. Weirdly I feel hungry, I suppose that’s the babies fault. Little bean has been keeping up all night with sickness. Steph gave me some weird ginger biscuits to try but they haven’t helped. The only thing that stops the nausea is eating pineapple and peppers, which is weird considering there quite acidic.

I pull myself out of bed and head to the bathroom, I turn my shower on and pull off my pyjamas. I peer at myself in the mirror, my stomach is slightly protruding out now. I still haven’t got used to it. Me with a baby.

Steph and Graham found out they were having a girl. They have decided to call her Evelyn, I haven’t even thought about names yet. Hell, I haven’t even wondered if I’m having a boy or girl yet. Is that normal? Oh well as long as I have a healthy baby, who cares right?

The water cascades down my body and I scrub and scrub my skin. I pull my hair out of its hair tie and start to wash it...oh fuck, Steph told me not to wash it. Maybe I can dry it before she gets up. She'll never know. Something about the hair not curling properly or something. I said I didn’t mind what my hair looks like. I’m doing my own make up. I had a change on heart on my dress, I thought it maybe bad luck after everything that happened after I bought it but Steph wouldn’t let me.

“The dress is beautiful babe and there is no way I’m letting you change it. I know a lot has happened but the dress shouldn’t be responsible for that”.

So I caved and decided to keep it. I bought blue Manolo Blahnik’s, second hand off the internet and I never want to take them off. The same shoes Carrie wore to Marry Mr. Big. I had decided on no Bridesmaids just Steph as my maid of honour/dad walking me down the aisle/wedding planner, okay so Steph did pretty much everything because I’ve been so tired and sick!

As soon as I’m shaved and scrubbed to an inch of my life, I get out the shower. I brush through my hair after brushing my teeth. I apply moisturizer and dry off.

I pull on clean ‘Wedding day' pyjamas before heading downstairs.
The house is in pretty much complete darkness, as I reach the kitchen, I see a blur of light from under the door. Who else is up this early? I push open the door to find Steph bent over the breakfast bar filled with flowers, in fact looking round, the whole kitchen is full of flowers.

“Steph?”

“Oh no, no" She says while pushing me out the kitchen. “You’re not supposed to see this yet".
