Well it had to be mentioned...

You might have noticed romance has been in the air today, two people not much younger than myself tied the knot in a rather lavish ceremony in London today.  I hadn't expected to be bothered about the Royal Wedding, I have no problem with the Royal family but considering how raw I am about the subject of weddings I had planned to ignore it.

As it happened I decided to sit and watch it, after all there in no excuse like a wedding for a good cry, so while I watched William look adoringly at Catherine and whisper how beautiful she looked, I balled my eyes out.  Luckily I was on my own, the other half was at work, probably a good thing it would have been a rather uncomfortable moment explaining why seeing someone else get married a week after my own cancelled wedding  might just be a little bit upsetting.  Having said that Kate looked stunning as did Pippa and the whole red and gold theme was positively radiant, makes you proud to be British.I just wish I could make someone look at me like that - hmm maybe if I loose about 6 stone and have plastic surgery I will have more luck!!

Good luck Will and Kate the future of romance is riding on you making a go of it x x

In a parallel universe

In a parallel universe where things actually turn out how you plan today would have been my wedding day.  As days go it would have been quite nice, a mild sunny morning a thunderstorm that lasted just long enough for the church service to take place and a warm, dry afternoon with a cool breeze.  I figure it has been pretty much how I imagined it, well without the white dress, church, guests, reception and I do bits.

Tomorrow it will be another day, the wedding that never was will be the past and I will move on.  Saying that, there is no denying the impact someone no longer wanting to marry you has on your life; it leaves a mark on your soul and a dent in your heart.  Realising the life you though you had wasn't real, that things you thought you shared were only in your mind takes some getting your head around, but you manage, you find new things to believe in; yourself and your ability to be who you want without relying on anyone else.

New Slimming World Blog - losingitwithslimmingworld.blogspot.com/

I realised that I was blogging more and more on Slimming World, what with food being such a big part of my life.  This however seemed to be taking me away from the original purpose of the Living My 30th Year, which was to experience more in my life and record it for the world to see.  I don't want to stop talking about Slimming World, it has become a passion - maybe an obsesssion so I have created a new blog and from now on I will usually only be posting Slimming World stuff on the new site. 

So if you are a fellow Slimming World Groupie or just curious what it is all about why not follow my Slimming World Journey at http://losingitwithslimmingworld.blogspot.com/
