little bitty girl

As you can see, Stefan and I made the local paper today. I am actually surprised at how many people read that paper but I guess it just goes to show that just because I don't read it, doesn't mean no one else reads it.

For those who are or were curious, we didn't submit our picture in. After we eloped, I had sent all my personal contacts an email telling them about our marriage. A large number of those contacts happened to be people I work with, which happens to be people who work in the fashion industry. It just so happened at the time the Fashion editor was working on a "Groom" story and had asked around to see whether any one in our industry had gotten married. It just so happened that we did and that's what happened.

To be honest with you, I kinda had forgotten about it as the story kept on getting pushed back. After all, all the major fashion weeks around the globe were in full force. Who wanted to hear about a wedding story?

So the news hit today.

Stefan got a lot of ribbing from his footy friends who had somehow found out. Some people asked me how I, a person who works in fashion, could possibly buy my wedding dress on Ebay? First, I am pretty pragmatic about that kind of stuff. I just wanted a pretty dress that I could put in the Goodwilll bag or back on Ebay without feeling like I spent so much money on something that I am not really sentimental about. Secondly, do you know how hard it is to find a non-wedding-wedding dress in December, in the land of ice and snow?

Anyway, there it is -- my 2 seconds of fame. My proud papa bought a couple of copies and my crazy brother Kelvin, bought 5!

Kelvin, what is wrong with you? What the hell are you going to do with all those copies, for Pete's sakes?
