I Shall Post in More Detail Soon...

Today being the 8th of October means that the 6th of October has indeed come and gone.
The wedding was fantastic, the weather was kind to us, everything ran smoothly, we mingled, we chatted, we ate, we laughed...but best of all Timmy and I are now officially married!!! :D Yay!

























Dad walking me down...Marty helped to carry the train until I reached the carpet.











I absolutely love my girls, but I have been left to believe that my bridesmaids were not adequately informed of their duties :P ...more times than I can really count I was left attempting to juggle both bouquet and train while trying to clamber in and out of cars, while my maids stood having an old nanna chat about 10 metres away primping themselves, the hem of my dress slowly being covered in dirt. Thank goodness that I got hitched, as after that Timmy was a gem and wandered about holding my train, with his boys [the groomsmen] making better bridesmaids to me than my own, grabbing bottles of water, offering impromptu massages and helping to pick up my train. And what, I hear you ask, were my girls doing...well...standing in a little huddle having a nanna chat while primping themselves. :P
Eventually the train got dusted and pinned into the back of my dress leaving the girls free to nanna chat to their hearts content for the rest of the night :P no doubt at all that they did. It really was a great atmosphere for mingling. It was fun and tough work for Timmy and I, being the main event, as everyone wants a piece of you, and you desperately want to be able to get around and chat to everyone, while being aware of that feeling of a slow and steady descent of fatigue creeping up on you.





















The day in total was a fun, fun day. It was just beautiful to be able to share it with our family and friends. I've included a couple of piccies which were taken by a dear friend of mine, Cathy. They're not the proffesional ones, infact I'm lead to believe that it will still be around a month till we see those. But for now, for those of you who are curious, I shall wet your appetite with these, while promising that I shall post more of the reception and so on as well as a much more thorough description of the day and it's events.
As for now?...well I'm off to snuggle up next to my husband and go to sleep ;) [I love being able to call him that :D].

Hens Night

Okay okay, so it's taken me ages to actually post these here. But about 3 weeks ago, kate and Rea flew down from Newcastle, into Melbourne where they met up with Cathy and myself for a bit of pirate themed madness.
Yes we all dressed as pirates and hit the town.




















I think at one point while we were wandering down Sydney road, we all forgot that we were in costume, and as we were standing at the crossing, waiting for that allusive little green man to appear, we were suddenly made aware of everyone in their cars staring at us. So quickly getting back into character we proceeded to charge across the crossing, waving swords while creating great yells of "AARG Me Harties!!" much to the amusement of those watching, who showed their appreciation with cheers and a honking of horns.





To be perfectly honest we felt like utter celebrities for the night. We actually had a number of people come up and ask if they could get photo's with us, as if we were at dreamworld, dressed like Tweety Bird.
All in all it was an awesome night. Lots of Belly laughs and stories created.







Best part of the whole weekend though, [apart from the boys cooking for us the whole time] was sitting out in the backyard, on our picnic blankets having deep and meaningfuls and just utterly loving my girls!





....

3 days till the wedding!! WOOT!
Now I really am getting excited. I sat down and typed up my vows today, and I'm ready now. ready to do this. Marry my Tim and start our life.
Hmmm....
