adventures of mascarah.

I've just begun a new decade. Sigh.

I have always wanted to be "a writer" but I'm lost somewhere in the prologue...whittling away at a story I may never tell.

Likes: pop culture. my chihuahua. architecture. modern art. elizabeth street. contemporary designer apparel. food. travel. foreign films. speakeasys. live music. politics. hot sauce. surprises. running in the rain. strangers. wednesdays. fearlessness...and 100s of other random things... maybe even you.

A southerner by birth, northerner by the grace of God, I'm simply a nyc gal who is lost somewhere on my constant exploration of the city and the life,love, and pursuit found within it.

Five months after meeting online Kristen and Steve decided to meet in real life. It was then Steve realised he had to do make a decision about his future and two weeks later he moved in with Kira and her 12-year-old Sam.

He said: “It sounds terrible to say but I was in a relationship for 24 years and it got to the point where I had to do something.

“I think I did the right thing and that was to leave my ex-partner, move in with Kristen and create the least amount of hurt I could in the process. I think I’ve done it as well as I could have.”

Nik and Kira decided to take their relationship one step further by getting married online.

The pair had exchanged photographs and been chatting online for just over 10 weeks when they exchanged vows and rings.

Kristen said: “You do everything you would do in real life like chose the dress, chose the flowers, chose the venue.”

The couple uploaded their own voices to exchange the vows they had written themselves.

Steve said: “As we stand hand in hand gazing into our future this is the beginning of a dream. I’ve been waiting all my life for you Kira. You complete me.”

Kira followed his vows by saying: “You are my friend, my love, my soulmate, the half which my makes me whole. You fill my soul with your sun and lift me up to new heights of happiness.”

Kristen and Steve are now engaged to be married in real life and are expecting their first child together.

I cannot get over this. Insanity!
