Our Wedding

05 - 05 - 2012

The Preparation.

The Ceremony.

Poor Husband was pretty nervous, he hates that it was showing, but everyone loved seeing him like that, it was the sweetest thing of the day. 

Just fixing up the make-up thanks to some kissing smudges!

The location for these shots is Hastings Street, Noosa. 

Here we are, back on location with the Bridal Party. Noosa Springs supplied us with golf buggies to drive around the course for photos. They also treated us ladies with champagne, beers for the boys, and huge chocolate coated strawberries for us all. 

While we were out having photos taken, the guests were upstairs in the Sunset Lounge having cocktails and canapes. Since we love to party, we decided to all join them up there for a sneaky champagne before dinner. 

My talented Mummy put together these 'generation frames', it is a collection of past generation's weddings, from both sides of our family.

Our Bonbonerie was our 'love mixtapes'. We made the CDs ourselves, with some stationary help from Etsy

Succulents, Roses, and Pinto Beans. Love!

Papel Picado, even more love!

We were announced in the Plantation Room before dinner, our lovely Bridal Party led the way. I can't stop raving about our Bridal Party, I know everyone loves theirs (well, most people) but we could not have done it without each one of them. We have such a special friendship circle. I'll always love them all!

I love this photo, it looks like trouble.

I wish I had of thought of this when I was a kid. Gosh, the messed up things I would ask.. 

'Did you marry so-and-so, and how many kids did you have?'

'Do you really have to sweep shit off the streets if I don't do my homework?'

'Have you found anything funnier than 'Dolly Doctor'?'

'Are you rich?'

'Do you own a pet shop?'

.....oh the list of stupid things would go on forever...

The sweetest thing happened this morning...

I was doing the dishes, staring at my dried up bouquet which is sitting in a vase on the window sill. It took 10 minutes of staring before I realized that 2 of the succulents which featured in my bouquet was still alive, and growing little baby roots, looking for water! 

I threw down the dishes, suds went flying, grabbed the nearest cup and flew out the back door.

I found the freshest soil I could find, and planted the two little succulents in the cup. 

They are now my babies, dear god, I hope they don't die now. I saved their lives!

This was my bouquet in its glory..

Notice my sweet little Palomas Nest addition? 

I wish I had of saved more of the little things before I rushed off on Honeymoon! Murderer!

Ok, now I actually do feel really bad. 

In other news, I am currently enjoying a bidding war over my old iPhone, hell yes. 

And we are moving, to a HOUSE. Finally no more townhouse/unit bullshit. My whole life i've been on acerages or large houses, so being so confined has worn thin with me.

The best part about this place is it's deck, I can picture lots of drinks and food on that deck...

Boo. It's Monday again, I'm over tired with a sprained ankle, but the weekend was so worth it.

To start my weekend off right, Lilya hand delivered my order to work on Thursday evening, a definate way to boost a mood!

On Friday after work we headed back to the home town for family birthday celebrations.

We turned up as a surprise for my Father In-law, and definitely made his day.

For Friday's celebrations (Very cold night!) I wore my NYC Zara blazer. I'm going to be lost once its too hot to wear this, it makes me happy.. Don't you love clothing that does that?

I am having boob issues with the blazer, but wore it anyway. In fact, I also had boob issues with Saturday's outfit, they are looking more and more fake. I'd like to say this is thanks to baby-boobs, but I think it has more to do with too many NYC hotdogs.

There we are. A nice classy bathroom shot! Note the blazer fighting with the boob. One of the best things I have purchased was my little Michael Kors 'going out' bag. Lipstick, phone, ID, cash.

On Saturday we went down to the beach, I had a beer in the sun with a friend, total bliss, while Husband played Basketball. Not a cloud in the sky. It was such a fresh day, I have missed the sun! I promise not to take it forgranted this summer.  

Saturday night was BBQ night. Friend time!

I wore my silk skull shirt over my one-piece swimmers, of all things. It worked just as well as the shirt which I forgot to pack...

And I love my necklace. Cheapy, but a goody.

This was also the day which I discovered dry-shampoo. What a little miracle! Does anyone else ever feel that washing their hair after a night out, to attend another night out, is just too much effort? Hoorah for dry-shampoo!

I'm still boob-ing...

My friend sure does make a pretty salad. In fact, I think I have to crown her the queen of food-presentation and yummy things.

This was the photo which scared me. Hello fakies!

As my friend said: 'Albinos don't deserve noses'.

And just to show you - shit really did get wild!

We finally got home to Noosa at 7pm last night. What a struggle. I think my binge drinking is over for a while. It really is a lot of work...

I admit that I am about a week behind in this...

But I just stumbled across Lilya's AW12 sale. *insert horrible throat noises when excited* 

Needless to say, I went mad. 30-50% off, with free postage. I was actually just finishing up at work, thought i'd have a browse on the Lilya site. I didn't leave work until 30 minutes later. I filled my cart up with about $300 worth of goodies. 

Guilt set in. 

I checked out my cart again, and whittled it down to 1 item. Much less guilt-laden. 

I purchased the 'Camilla Maxi Dress'. I have had my eye on this number for aaaages. 

$299 reduced to $50. Hell yes!

This Lilya sale is running until sold out. Seriously, check it out. I'm still thinking about a pair of leather sandals which I really SHOULD have.
