Okay....having an International Wedding is starting to take its toll on me. There is so much liaising that needs to be done just to get a few things booked. Its good because it forces us to keep people in the loop I suppose. It's also frustrating as there are lots of people who we would like to be there but can't make it. I am horribly disappointed that my Aunt and Uncle who live here in Sydney are not going. I know Lindsey is also upset that some of her family are not going.
In some good news though, I am really happy with how its starting to pull together. The flowers I am sure will be great. I am really excited about our cupcakes (thank you Clare for suggesting this, I'm glad we aren't having a boring/ridiculously expensive iced cake), I think myself and the men are going to look wicked sharp, Lindsey's newly transformed dress is going to look amazing and most of all I think Lindsey and I have done really well with keeping it as natural, as organic and as ethical as possible. Which something that was really important to us.
How awesome is this? Lindsey and I are getting to have an overseas Wedding in a Church, then we get to take off to have our reception in one of the most beautiful locations around with a full sit down meal of amazing NZ themed food, we get to have a dance with each other and then some family and friends and before the day is out spend a night in a luxury hotel. We then take off to a tropical island for a week and a half before we come back to Sydney and get to have an outdoor wedding on the beach followed by a relaxing BBQ in the sun for all our Australian people who couldn't make it!
Despite all the headaches, stress and issues this is currently causing us it is going to be a month of Celebration! And I honestly could not imagine it getting any better than this! Lastly, I would not want this to be with anyone else, thank you for saying yes to me Clare, I am waiting in anticipation.
