Wedding Day Perfection
Well here I am, a married woman!!!!
What a perfectly wonderful day we had. The weather was perfect - lovely and sunny and not too hot.
The day before the wedding I stayed with my parents. Karen my matron of honour and I had manicures and pedicures at a salon and it was pure bliss. Neither of us had ever had a pedicure before but we certainly will be in future!
My Mum cooked my favourite roast for dinner that night. She also did a cooked breakfast for us on my wedding morning - bacon, eggs, tomato and toast. She then headed off to the hairdresser just after 8 and my appointment was half an hour later. I was there for a few hours having my hair set in rollers and then having extensions clipped into my hair to make it longer. It looked gorgeous. My girlfriend Vanessa arrived to drive me home in my car as I had to sit with a pillow behind me so I didn't flatten my hair. She then spent the next hour doing my makeup for me, in between eating the lovely sandwiches my Mum made us for lunch. All too soon it was time to get ready. Luckily Vanessa was still there when Karen came to help me get into my dress as I needed both of the girls to help me get my earrings on!
Another lovely friend and her husband were my bridal car. They got me to the church on time - 2pm and everything went beautifully. Brad and I both managed not to cry - just :)
We had photos taken outside the church with our families and then the bridal party went to Mt Cootha botanical gardens for more photos. The photographer took heaps of photos in the Japanese Gardens and then on a bridge over a stream. Finally he got some on a path with the sun setting behind us.
Our reception was beautiful. The food was delicious, the waiters and waitresses were happy and polite and everyone had a fantastic time. All our hard work and planning was worth it.
Brad made the best speech anyone has ever heard.
We head off for our honeymoon at the end of the week. We can't wait.
That's it for me.
Bye for now xoxoxoxoxo
