Wedding Day!

Well, today is finally here! In some ways it has taken ages to come around, and in other ways, it has snuck up on us and has come up in a hurry. But it's here!

The whole process of preparing for the wedding has been a totally epic experience. What looks like something quite simple, has turned out to be probably the most complex event I have ever been involved in organising. From the countless phone calls and emails, to the many people involved, to the decorations, logistics and what-if's, it's been EPIC!

A bit of advice for anyone planning a wedding, advice I didn't find elsewhere:

  • If you are choosing a theme for your wedding, make sure you can get every element of the theme (not just in theory, but to actually get them) before committing to it.
  • If you are choosing a particular colour for your wedding, it makes everything much simpler if you choose a "simple" colour, like a primary colour
  • Make sure everyone knows exactly what they are supposed to be doing. A lot of people make assumptions about what they are supposed to be doing, and these are not always what you intend

Anyway, the Big Day is here!

Today, I get to celebrate my Love for my one and only Loretta; today I get to stand at the end of the aisle and promise to be by her side right till the end; today I get to marry my Soulmate.

Bring it on :)

This time next month...

This time next month, I'm getting married!

*runs away*

Most things are done, but there are still a lot of little things to think about, finalise, do. But we have a celebrant, we have a photographer, we have venues, and we have limos, so we're well and truly getting there!

On a side note, it's currently pissing down cats and dogs, and if the weather forecast is anything to go by, it looks like it's going to be pissing down for much if not all of the next month. Parts of Brisbane and surrounding areas are starting to flood, I hope the weather settles down before the wedding!
