You see peeps...That is how I got my name KikiDee. My father named me it.
My real name and original name, which is on my birth certificate, is KikiDee. Not AKA,but the real deal, after my very own Bradford, West Yorkshire daddy's idol.
My mum requested that when I get married, I should invite her to my wedding..
‘Well, I hope you will stick around for that long Kiki Dee. I now have different views on love and sexual relations. Just do not seem to connect any more.’
But I really want to make my mom happy, I want to give her that gift,which was her wish for me,that you would be at my wedding. So I cannot afford to loose hope.
See you at the hen night.....!!!
