For any of you who I haven’t personally gotten hold of and bored to tears with my latest big business project, I feel it’s important to warn you that from this point on my blogging may well take on a somewhat self-obsessed bridal theme.

See, the whole reason that Duncan and I have come back to the UK for 4 months, is so that we (read, me) can get down to the important task of organising our nuptuals. Before I came back I was absolutely certain that “I wouldn’t be going mad like all my friends have done”. Furthermore, “I certainly won’t start obsessing with trivialities. It’ll be a good Ayrshire affair. All common sense and no bells and knockers.”

Ummm… WRONG!

Last Saturday I went and tried on wedding dresses for the first time. And I think it was at the very moment that first bit of white fabric touched my shoulders, that Bridezilla emerged from the chrysalis.

Before I knew what was happening, I had my first ever bridal strop. And it was a biggie. The reason? Well. See, as a child I was obsessed with all those hugely glam movie stars from the 30’s to 50’s. Ginger Rogers, Marlene Dietrich, Joan Crawford, and my all time favourite… Audrey Hepburn. And it was old Audrey that did it in the end. I found someone selling a replica of this tiara that she wore in Roman Holiday…..

“OOOOOHHHH, fabulous!” I thought. “I’ll look just like Princess Audrey!”

And it was around that point I got really, really, carried away and decided to look for a suitably grand necklace to go with it.

I found this cracker at Zulu Moon, an online jewellery store, and immediately set my heart upon it…

I was very excited about looking just like one of my silver screen icons. The issue? The necklace was out of stock. How frustrating. I wanted it immediately!! Imagine what happened in our living room when I was told it was never coming back into stock? I duly spent 6 straight hours on the internet trying to find something similar.

Nada. Zip. Cue 3 hour huff.

So… that’s it. Bridezilla is in town. You have been warned. I’ll do my best to keep it to a minimum, but no promises. Tell you what, If you all put up with it, I’ll send you a bit of cake!
