WHAT'S IN A NAME

As regular readers will know, earlier this year I became an Auntie for the first time, and it has easily been the best thing that has happened to me so far in my life. So when a few months ago, my sister asked me if I would be a Guide Parent for little Imogen at her Naming Day, I was pee-in-my-pants delighted. The little cutie pie means the world to me, and I love spending time with her, she is such a character and she makes me laugh constantly.


For the special occasion I wore a lovely blue lace dress from Missguided and surprised myself by reading the promises I'd written without any nerves, in front of a lot of people.





In case anyone needs some inspiration for naming day promises, why not take a little look at mine...prepare for epic soppyness...


Imogen, first of all I promise my love, complete and unconditional. I promise to nurture your interests and inspire you're imagination, and to be your partner in crime.

When you need to rest your head, I promise to lend you my shoulder to lean on. When you need someone to hear you, I promise to lend you my ears. And when you need comfort I promise to always open my arms to you.

I promise that your laugh will be my greatest joy, and to watch you grow is my greatest privilege. And finally, I promise that you inspire me to be a better person, so I can be the role model you deserve.

I love you my little chicken.
Auntie Gems x

  8. Looking like the gorgeous beauty you are Gems! Blue lace is perfect on you and this is the dress of dreams. And how lovely that you are a guide parent to Imogen at her Naming Day, I seriously can't imagine anyone ever being a better, sweeter choice than a guardian angel such as yourself. She's so lucky to have the kindest, loveliest Auntie in the world such as yourself! Love you sweet <3
