A great post. The first day/holiday is very strange as this total stranger who you know very intimately is with you and yet you don't know them.
Some things see very familiar and as expected other facets of the person for some reason seem new and unfamiliar.
Do go with an open mind you don't really know one another yet this meeting is so important and crucial as you can imagine it will decide and define the whole relationship.
Try and keep your eyes open and do make sure you do get some private time to talk (very very hard in Phill) in depth with eye contact.
My Wife spent a fortune well by hers and her familys standards on beauty treatment before i first went and each time thereafter but then from what she tells me about the huge sums women spend in UK stores on beauty treatment,clothes and what have you for far more mundane reasons than meeting your potential husband for the first time.
May i wish you both a pleasant time together![]()
