I spent a lot of time deciding on a salon for my Gibraltar wedding hair and makeup. For simplicity, I’d booked a manicure at the Rock Hotel’s salon. I had beautiful nails going into the appointment. For two weeks beforehand, Robert forbid me to do any household tasks that might damage my nails. He’d say,… Continue Reading
Gibraltar Wedding Diary: Day 2, Part 1
I woke up in the dark, not immediately remembering that we were actually in Gibraltar, then feeling completely overjoyed and giddy that I was one day away from marrying the guy sleeping next to me.

Getting Married Second Time Around
One week from today, I’ll be married! It’ll be almost five years to the day that my first marriage ended and up until six months ago, I never thought I’d see this day. People have asked me, “why get married again?” While I think it’s a rude question that in some way diminishes the importance of the commitment… Continue Reading
