...then it still wouldn't be as good as the first ever official blondepoker wedding!

As you may have gathered, this is going to be THE official blog for all the domestics, arguments, plans, budgets etc that come with planning a wedding. My wedding, to be exact. To our very own joobie538 (currently nicknamed Jugs538, please change it back Bongo!), whom I met in passing at blonde Bash 6 and then "properly" met at blonde Bash 7. 3 years later, and we're getting married. Hopefully.

Why hopefully? Well, when I'm not doing live updates for blonde, my day job is as a Customer Service Advisor for BT Openreach. However, I work on a temporary contract through a recruitment agency which was scheduled to run from June 1st 2010 for 3 months. 7 months later and I'm still there. They keep renewing my contract but only ever renewing it for a month and making me sweat for half the month to see whether it's going to be renewed!

Anyway, onto the main story...

I met Joobs properly at bB7 lliterally on arrival at the Days Inn. It must have been love at first sight (for her) as she fell for me. Literally. My first sight of my soon-to-be wife was when the lift doors opened and she fell out on top of me! Just about managed to catch her before she hit the floor and it went from there. Hands up who sure did see us apart for more than 1hr that weekend when not actually playing poker? Yeah, didn't think there were many. Went back home to Chester and it took me about a week before I jumped on a train to Weston-super-Mare.

And never left.

Since then, we've been practically joined at the hip relationship wise, and it took me 10 months to realise that I knew I had found the woman I wanted to spend my life with, and it was July 21st 2009 that I popped the question. She said yes (obv, or I wouldn't be writing this lol) and it's been one of the best periods of my life so far. All relationships have their ups and downs but thankfully we barely argue or have major disagreements, Joobs knows how to deal with me when I get pissed off at something and vice versa, and we just...work.

Close friends on here will know we've been through some shit times since we got together, and I'm not gonna go into detail as that's the past. Thankfully we've got past that, and are now comfortably settled in Chester with our cat Lilly preparing for the wedding! I'll cover the wedding plans in the next post probably.

Anyway, hope you all enjoy and follow from now until the big day, which is tentatively pencilled in for Monday 21st November 2011.

Anyway, onto the main story...

I met Joobs properly at bB8 lliterally on arrival at the Days Inn. It must have been love at first sight or too much drink... you decide (for her) as she fell for me. Literally. My first sight of my soon-to-be wife was when the lift doors opened and she fell out on top of me! Just about managed to catch her before she hit the floor


Since then, we've been practically joined at the hip relationship wise, and it took me 10 months to realise that I knew I had found the woman I wanted to spend my life with, and it was July 21st 2009 that I popped the question. She said yes  think that was after I asked wtf you were doing and to get up lol (obv, or I wouldn't be writing this lol) and it's been one of the best periods of my life so far. All relationships have their ups and downs but thankfully we barely argue or have major disagreements, Joobs knows how to deal with me when I get pissed off at something and vice versa, is alway right! and we just...work. True i would have to agree with that one.

Properly met? Well, at bB6, I didn't really get to know her. All I did was take pictures of her tits. Well, hers, yours and a few other ladies! Whereas at bB7, we got to know each other on the first night (and some facebook convos the week before) and it all spiralled from there.
