Well this exciting month was the first full one as a Mrs. And that’s not the only reason it was exciting.
From Morocco to Brighton back to home, here is my month in instagram.
Yes I am finally showing you photos from our honeymoon in Morocco (with a stint in Brighton UK). We took nearly 2000 photos so I’ll save you from boredom and not share all of those. I will show them in chunks over the next few Thursdays, divided into these sections:
Let’s get started
…..why Morocco?….
We wanted to go somewhere we would experience a culture we haven’t been exposed to. We didn’t want to simply lie on a beach for two weeks.
You don’t go to Morocco to find love, you go to fall in love with the culture, the food, the call to prayer, the cooing doves, the bright colours, the winding narrow streets. And if you go with the person you love, you learn to fall in love with your new experiences together, and with each other even more.
As for “Why Brighton?”. We had a couple days in the UK before we headed home, and every honeymoon needs a bit of beach time right?
Holy Hannah!!!!!
Our incredible photographers, husband and wife duo Ameris, sent us a little teaser of our wedding photos. Eeps!
I can barely contain my excitement! They are just so beautiful and exactly what we had hoped for. And this is just a fraction of what’s to come!
I know a few of you have been asking (more than once) to see some wedding pics, so I won’t make you wait any longer.
Here is a sneak peek of our wedding on August 18th 2012.
More to come in the exciting future
No, really, they describe who I am me and what I live for.
Don’t believe me? Keep reading, cause chances are it’s the same for you too.
Sitting in Gatwick airport on our way home from our honeymoon (don’t worry, honeymoon posts start Thursday!) I hurried into WH Smith and randomly selected two magazines that looked pretty fantastic.
They’re not fantastic. They’re PERFECT.
First allow me to gush about Pretty Nostalgic.
I picked up the second issue of Pretty Nostalgic (currently on its third issue) for its beautiful design, unique magazine size/heavyweight paper (don’t judge me these things make a difference) and articles on crafts, cooking and beautifully handmade goods.Let’s take a sneak peek at some of my favourite articles:
The Natural Perfumery teaches you how to make your own scents. What a great excuse to plant more flowers in your garden.
I love how Seashore Foraging reminds you to live simply. This article is about a couple living on the channel islands make delicious food from what they forage in the yard and on the seaside, from kelp to winkles.Yes, Seashore Foraging reminded me that the simple life is a rewarding one, which is why I loved the second magazine,
This new magazine (launched Sept 6, one day before I bought it) is all about stepping away and stepping back. Stepping away from the complications of life we get so entwined in and stepping back into another time where people made homecooked meals nightly, took walks through the park to refresh their senses, churned butter rather than pick up a brick of it from an overlit store for goodness sakes. Simply said, this magazine encourages you to “embrace a simpler life”.
The recipes. They are delicious and, you guessed it, simple. Soon I will share with you one I made two days after getting off the plane. (I just couldn’t wait).
An adorable quirk to The Simple Things is that it’s organized by time of day, starting with a breakfast recipe on pages labelled Dawn. I just loved the article on CHEESE. How can you go wrong with an entire article on cheese I ask you. (you just can’t)So yes friends, these magazines describe who I am – a lover of handmade goods and an old soul who strives to live in a simpler time.
Doesn’t that sound nice?

When we told people we were going to Morocco for our honeymoon,
After talking to friends who had been and fallen in love, it was decided.
