The bride as seen by...
...the groom
I've known Nathalie for almost eight years now and I have loved her for the same time.
When she feels good, she is very affectionate and often cries out: "Hihi! I'm so happy!", with a big smile. On the other hand, when she witnesses one of the many unfair things in life, she's always ready to denounce, to accuse, to fight, to rebel.
We complete each other very well: she thinks, I do; she buys, I carry; she sleeps, I drive; she decides, I approve. Besides, she often has ideas involving me, and as she likes doing things well, everything turns to a project: requirements analysis, specification phase, actual implementation (this step is a bit easier for her, as it's usually my job), results assessment, and finally "Hihi! I'm so happy!".
Her only problem is heat management: the morning is spent shaking because of the icy cold, and the afternoon trying to avoid the awful heat (the temperature going from 21 to 23° C in the mean time). Luckily, she knows she can always find comfort thanks to her best ally: chocolate. Her daily intake makes Nestlé and Ferrero sure they can count on a brilliant outlook for the next years. In the beginning, I was worried; now I just throw extra bags of Nesquick in the shopping cart.
One important quality of Nathalie's is her ability to cope with my obsessions, my gadgets (she's too busy compiling statistical data about robot vacuum cleaners or organising our next trip to complain), my risky hobbies, my flaws (she never makes fun of me when she shows me the butter in the fridge - probably because she couldn't do both at the same time).
Finally, her imagination still amazes me: she just needs to close her eyes to see wonderful things, enchanted worlds and magical places... In the beginning I didn't understand, or I thought it was impossible, but now I know better: that's because she's magic!

« Qu'il était beau mon guiiiide, Nathalie ! » We can only talk about the bride using songs, knowing how much she enjoys « kara-OK » and dancing. As she is rigorously organised, she is the ideal partner for realising projects (making games, computer projects, organising parties or holidays, organising weddings - especially hers!). But she never has time to rest... and even when this happens, she likes better to keep moving!

The bride, or I should say Super Nathalie! Always living at 100 mph and ready for everything, smiling, happy, generous, she likes to play, dance, sing: she loves life! You'll never see her stay low, as she proved us a short time ago. She often says she'd like to stay put for a while, but can she do it?... :) Nathalie has a single flaw, she's (too ;) ) organised! But this is also a reason why the couple matches so well!
