The other reason we'd been up in Lincolnshire over the weekend was because K___ was due to attend her Best Friend's first wedding dress fitting.
So, there's K___, her Best Friend and best friend's mum in the shop. Best Friend is wearing this calico version of the dress, and by all accounts it's going to be very nice indeed. Best Friend's mum starts talking about about the bridesmaids' dresses and the need to start looking for them.
At this point, it may be worth saying that K___ is the world's shittest liar. She is beyond rubbish at it and always gives the game away if one cocks an eyebrow at her for long enough. Suffice it to say, she doesn't want to be revealing the fact that it might not be appropriate for them to buy anything for her now, as it's highly unlikely it will fit come the Big Day. Her eyes open a fraction of an inch, and she catches her Best Friend's eye and immediately looks away.
Later on, Best Friend turns to K___ and says, 'Look me in the eye and say there's nothing you want to tell me...' K___, the world's worst liar, knowing a fib is pointless nods. Best Friend is now under a vow of silence...

Ah ha ha, that's awesome! My wife is an equally bad liar, and we were worried because we went home this weekend to spend some time (overnight) with each of our parents. I was sure we wouldn't make it through the weekend without one of the mom's shooting Nic a suspicious glance, and the whole secret coming out... somehow we made it though, and the secret is still safe...
ReplyDeleteI also started to feel that if, heaven forbid, something went wrong I would want my family to support me. If they would be there to pick up the pieces then it is also cool to have them there to share in the joy of our secret. I feel a little less isolated now as even though we have read loads of books it is great to actually have someone to ask questions of in this early stage before the first midwife appointment.
