Mr. Jaguar and I have been together for the past eight years and he finally popped the question last August. Hurrah! We currently live in Sydney, Australia with our adorable cat who thinks he's a person. We're a couple who likes to multi-task: we've been planning a wedding abroad, a permanent move from London to Sydney, and preparing to build our own home all at the same time. Travelling makes me giddy...as does Mr. Jaguar, of course!

Sharing Our Engagement

November 12th, 2010 @ 1:20 pm by Mrs. Jaguar

This past weekend we caught up with Mr. Jaguar’s brother and girlfriend, as they had just moved into a new apartment in London and had invited us over to check it out. Mr. Jaguar and his brother have always been close, as they are only siblings, so it was only fitting that he had asked BIL Jaguar to be best man at the wedding.

Boys being boys, they don’t really celebrate things like birthdays or special events with gifts, something I just don’t understand. I was determined that we bring them something small as a housewarming gift, so we brought along a bottle of bubbly—and it was lucky that we did, as they announced that they’d gotten engaged the night before!

I did my best not to bombard them with questions since I remember from personal experience just how overwhelming that can be. They will have an interesting time of their own figuring out their wedding details: BIL Jaguar is Australia, his new fiancé is Malaysian, but they both live permanently in the United Kingdom. It will be exciting to see what they plan, where they hold the ceremony and when they set the date for.

Did you share your engagement period with any other members of your family? How did it go?

I am right now - with my youngest sister. Our timing and venues are so different - she’s planning a HUGE bash in the hometown in July, and I’m planning a smaller wedding in the city I call home now. It’s been a lot of fun so far and she’s asked me for quite a bit of advice since I started planning a little earlier than she did. We’re both looking forward to a crazy year in 2011 - two weeks after my wedding is our cousin, then my sister is a month and a half after that! Add in the bachelorette parties and showers and you have yourself a super crazy summer!

My cousin/best friend just got married last weekend. It was really good to have that time together. Hopefully she won’t be too burnt out when they return from their honeymoon, bc I’ll need her help!

I am sharing with my brother, and also a few close friends! It’s a little crazy, but so much fun.
