Oh, well imagine
As I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor
And I can't help but to hear
No, I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words
"What a beautiful wedding!
What a beautiful wedding!?, says a bridesmaid to a waiter
"And yes, but what a shame, what a shame
The poor groom's bride is a whore"

Hi there.
I am The Bride (also known in the blogosphere as Atticus
Sampson) and this here is my wedding blog where I will bore you all
endlessly about the details of my wedding. Yay!
A bit about me:
My name: The Bride (sorry, I can't get much more specific than that)
Well, I CAN get more specific than that as I DO have a real name...
OK, when I am not The Bride I'll be Kitty.
Nickname: Bridie? Let's work on that some more eh.
Age: I just entered my dirty thirties
Birthplace: Melbourne, Australia
Hometown: Melbourne, Australia
Occupation: Stay-at-home Mummy of three.
Righty
or Lefty: In respect to handwriting - I am a lefty. Politically, I like to
sit on the fence. I have little to no interest in politics and recently have had to ask people to explain Occupy Melbourne to me.
Heritage:
As Aussie as they come. But my grandmother was sitting on the end of
the pier waiting for her family to emigrate from the UK before she was
born (old, lame family joke courtesy of my mum).
Favourite colour: Green
Favourite animal: I like tigers. I also like dogs.
Favourite TV show: I did like Underbelly Razor. Now the show I watch the most is *cough*
The Love Boat. And
7th Heaven. And sometimes
Touched By An Angel. I mean, my favourite show is Shameless. What? It's not on anymore. Um.
Favourite movie: The Boat That Rocked. I proposed to my man during it and he knocked me back. I haven't watched it since because the pain is too raw. Also because I watch about three DVDs a year.
Favourite cartoon: Fireman Sam because I love
Elvis Cridlington. (I love that there is even a Fireman Sam Wiki). I also like
Samurai Pizza Cats. And
Futurama. I am eclectic.
Favourite song: Depends on my mood - lately I like
this one but
this one is also an old favourite.
Favourite sport: I like to watch soccer, and sometimes tennis. Myself I play Brazilian Jiu Jitsu which is basically sweaty men wrestling with each other trying to break each others arms off.
Here is an explanation of it.
Favourite actor: Heath Ledger. Or Colin Farrell (fans self). I used to love Jude Law, but now...eh. I also loves Wolverine.
Favourite musician: I enjoy the music of James Dixon Swan, a Scottish singer.
Favourite athlete: Most people would think I'd like an AFL player, because I am a girl and I don't KNOW any athletes, but I like
Valentino Rossi aka
The Doctor who races really fast motorbikes around Phillip Island and elsewhere.
Favourite comedian: Hmmm. I don't know. I think lots of actors are funny whether they intend to be or not.
Favourite food: I used to like Thai food, but then I ate some bad food and got violently sick so I haven't touched it since - at the moment I like peri-peri chicken.
Favourite drink: Alcoholic: Baily & Baily Queen Bee. Non-alcoholic: Pineapple juice and lemonade
Favourite number: 22
Favourite school subject: I used to love Year 12 Maths because it was easy.
Favourite clothing: My $5 canvas shoes from Big W. I am hoping to incorporate them into my wedding attire.
Favourite book: The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle, and Hover Car Racer by Matthew Reilly
Favourite snack food: Salt and vinegar chips - apparently its an Aussie thing
Favourite season: Summer because you can go to the pool without freezing to death.
