I've got a love/hate relationship with travelling. I'm so happy about leaving Paris (and work!) behind for four weeks , absolutely ecstatic to go home, get married, have our honeymoon, Barcelona , Santorini, Cote d'Azur all of that BUT I hate packing the airports , waiting, being uncomfortable, flight turbulences, waiting for luggage at arrival , crossing fingers that nothing is lost /stolen /broken ... Well all of that. And DF is always making fun of how much i hate living out of a suitcase that whatever hotel we go (even for a night) I need an hour to unpack arrange my things and nest otherwise i won't be comfortable . Oh well one of those lovely things my 'husband' will just have to live with.

Now packing my suitcase I am at 10 evening dresses, 6 day dresses 5 skirts 2 jeans about 10 shoes and it goes on ..; as usual not sure how it will all work , but having grown up with about 4 back and forth trips between Hungary - Germany every year I'm quite masterful at packing . At least DF is taking me to the airport.

But yeay tomorrow afternoon I will be home looking at our garden surrounded by cats and dog and chillin in 30C, shouldn't be too bad.

We were legally married yesterday afternoon at the Mairie de 19eme in Paris. It was the most wonderful day, I'm still glowing!

I got to wear my pretty pink Dior dress and DF got me a pink peeony/rose bouquet to match, the room in the mairie was stunning , which I really didn't expect all high ceilings and and grand paintings and red welwet upholstered chairs , and after 15 minutes we signed everything and it was over , we were married.

We took the 15 or so friends that were there and walked over the street to the sunny Parc de Buttes Chaumont for champagne picknick with lots of strawberries cherries and raspberries and special macaroons our friend Pia brought and celebrated the afternoon away. Even though it wasn't that many people it felt a little overwhelming just being there and having them around was so lovely.
I still have a huge grin on my face ( which is saying something i'm at work and hungover) then we had dinner with the remainder of the group at our fun thai in Belleville , and after dinner went to the Hemingway bar for lots of champagne and cocktails and the best ever bartenders ( Pierre & Romain ) who completely spoiled us and pretty much let us take over the Bar till 3 am!

It was just perfect, we are happy , no regrets , no nervousness , we are all good and releived after all the paperwork that went into it. Invited to another little soiree tomorrow nite not to mention brunch in the morning.
