Anniversaries

Today we've been married for 5 months! Tomorrow we've been 'together' for 10 years! Who would have thought that a relationship that kicked off after watching Chopper would have lasted this long (with things looking good for a lot longer)?

To celebrate, here's a selection of the last of the wedding photos. After the ceremony we had some more photos in the park outside the church and the alley way behind the reception centre. It's hard to remember things about the night already but I do know that the food was delish (what I could fit in wearing the dress, which was very little), the company was fantastic, the speeches were lovely and we (more or less) nailed our hurriedly put-together-the-morning-before dance.

Nailing the dance!

Not nailing the evening three step - done in honour of my grandparents
but getting a good laugh out of it.

Yay for good memories!

Getting closer

2 months to go!

After a 2.5 hour delay (thanks cheap airline with striped animal mascot) we flew to Melbourne to get some things sorted.

I got to pick up my dress. Very exciting. No crazy pre-wedding diet required, it fits perfectly.

Went to the reception venue, met the bloke in charge (and he is a bit of a bloke) but knows what he's doing. Had an early Father's Day lunch there. Good food, how do you pick a menu when you want to pick every option, particularly the desserts???

Met the pastor and had a chat about the ceremony (interesting, not entirely sure if he's going to marry us after all as he was not very approving of the fact that there will be alcohol at the reception.....it's ok though, we have a back up plan).

Went to A's 10 year high school reunion and stayed with good friends who are getting hitched just a couple of weeks after us.

Had a hair trial (but not makeup - the girl who was going to do it for me can't get off work on the wedding day so back to square one with that).

Had lunch with Grandma, who we're not sure will make it to November as she's been diagnosed with cancer in her spine, breast and possibly stomach. Really hoping she'll be there as she's my only remaining grandparent. She really wants to be there too and seemed to be well today so here's hoping!

Flew home. Flights are NOT relaxing when the pilot takes two goes to take off (thanks again, cheap airline with striped animal mascot). Really hoping we booked a different airline for the real wedding weekend!
