Once Upon a Time...

Last year my story was going viral on the internet and in the press (see Page Media), yet it was far from being like a fairy tale, many of the elements were there, luxurious providers, a breathtaking place , a dream dress, princess shoes, but no groom ...

​Once upon a time, a romantic woman, in love with the wrong man, who decided to abandon her three months before the wedding ceremony. Once upon a time, there was chaos. Once upon a time, this rage at the heart of deserving better, of knowing to be worthy. Once upon a time there was my Solo Wedding in Santorini.

In September 2018, I discovered my first magazine cover in the UK, before a second, then a third in Australia.

Today, I choose to recap with you the articles of my Solo Wedding in Santorini (you can click on it to read or reread them):

And if you follow me on Instagram, check my stories.

All that I’ve accomplished since my Solo Wedding make me terribly proud and happy: the freezing of my eggs, my blog, the media, my book ...

It encourages me to pursue my dreams and to invent new ones.

Not to mention all my travels, and a year ago I was going to Crete to write my book My Solo Wedding in Santorini (I am actively looking for an agent and a publisher).

I had wondered where I’d be in a year, I had no idea. I certainly wouldn’t have thought that I’d be in England.

Where will I be in a year and what will I do then? I don’t have a crystal ball, but I don’t intend to stop to confide in you and to inspire you ...

​A new extract from my book "My Solo Wedding in Santorini":

"So, no basket of flowers on the horizon, to tell the truth, I never imagined an army of young children spreading flower petals in the aisle before my entry. It must be said that before this marriage, I had never really considered the question of a wedding ceremony. The only times it crossed my mind, I saw myself more in Las Vegas, with Elvis as a priest and the Blues Brothers as witnesses! We are very far from the flower girls!
As for my dress,  rather a fitted tuxedo with sexy lingerie underneath and a garter belt. Another ceremony for adults only!
At least I stayed true to myself for my solo wedding, no kids, despite a traditional wedding dress and no Elvis.
 
In addition, it makes me think that Carrie Bradshaw (played by Sarah Jessica Parker) in the second film Sex and the City, goes to the wedding of her best friend in a tuxedo. It is true that my life is very similar to this fictional character. Many of my friends call me Carrie for many reasons. My best friend finds that my personality is very similar to this woman, we both seek to be loved for who we are, without cheating or compromising. We want to find someone who takes us as we are or not at all. Other girlfriends especially see the resemblance to my passion for fashion, clothes and luxury shoes, certainly I have a nice wardrobe on this side, I will not lie. And now, I spend my time writing, which adds even more similarity. I do not have my picture on a bus yet, but it may come with this book, I was on TV, it is already a good start."
​

Every day I meet new people to whom I tell my story, to whom I give a piece of me ...

So many beautiful testimonials from people who encourage me, even some who tell me how my story gave them the courage to change their lives.

I would like to thank here my readers who follow me with interest, here are the top 5 nationalities:
​
Greece, France, United States, United Kingdom, Australia.

75% of them are between 25 and 45 years old, and I count as many men as women (50%), the perfect parity!!

​Always have the courage to keep in you this light, this spark of hope that creates the fireworks in your life!
 
See you next Saturday for a new article.
Have a nice week!
 
Love, once upon a time ...
