We had the best day of our lives. The weather was a concern all week and somehow we picked the one day that was 29 and perfect. Every day in the lead up and the week after rained! I was 30 minutes late, as we got married on a Friday and didn't account for peak hour traffic lights!!! The ceremony was really relaxed and casual which is just how we wanted it. Danny accidentally put the ring on my wrong finger. (I think he was a bit nervous!!) We had 170 guests who all seemed to thoroughly enjoy the day as much as we did. Our venue for both the ceremony and the reception was Glen Ewin Estate at Houghton. It is a beautiful location and I highly recommend it. The food that we chose was a 12 course banquet which worked really really well. All of our guests had all of the dishes which were shared in the middle of the tables. The food was unlimited so all of our guests were really well fed. Our honeymoon was to LA, New York Cancun Mexico, Las Vegas and San Francisco it was the best trip either of us have been on and definately a trip of a lifetime.

I was so unbelievably calm the whole morning which totally amazed me because I’m normally such a stress head and know what I’m like under pressure. The whole morning I couldn’t believe it was happening – I was finally getting ready for our wedding! At Caversham House we made our way to the start of the aisle but once our processional song played the tears started. I said to my MOH “Quick tell me something funny!” So she turned around and jokingly said “You look like s**t!” I cracked up but it wasn’t enough to stop the tears for long. I don’t even remember walking down the aisle. It felt like it happened all too quickly. Once I reached Jeff I had tears just dripping down my face. When we were saying our vows to each other I could see him fighting back tears. We then exchanged rings and I couldn’t get Jeff’s over his knuckle. I even had 2 hands on it but nothing worked so I left it on his knuckle. It was hilarious! Before I knew it we were having our 1st kiss as husband and wife. I threw my arms around him and we had a big kiss. Once we arrived at Floreat Beach we had photos on the beach then headed upstairs to the surf club. Our reception was awesome and we had a blast. Everyone loved our cupcake tower, especially our cake topper, and everyone commented on how beautiful the ceremony was. DH and I are not dancers and wanted something fun for the bridal waltz so we did the Birdy Dance. Best choice we could have made! Eleven months of planning and stress for one day – but my god was it the best day of our lives so far!

My wedding day was beyond anything we had every dreamed of. From the moment Chris proposed we saved every cent we could to make our wedding day as fun, memorable, & beautiful as possible. We chose to get married in the city because the city is very special to us. We had already created so many memories here with our 1st kiss, many late night's dancing the night away, & Chris's proposal. Our ceremony was at the Chinese Gardens Darling Harbour & the reception was held in the Gold room at L'Aqua Darling Harbour. We had 86 family & friends attend our wedding. My dress was a stunning Maggie Sottero princess style dress & I wore blue Manolo Blahnik shoes. My Bridesmaids wore a little black dress. My husband & groomsman wore black & white. I wanted a classic colour scheme. By choosing black & white I knew it wouldn't date. Our reception was so much fun. The bridal party danced into the room to different songs. When we danced in we got all the guests onto the dance floor straight away. For entertainment we had a Elvis impersonater named Mark Borg who stole the show. Our guests young & old loved him. We also hired a photobooth. This was very popular with our guests and created great memories. My Husband DJ'd for a few songs while I danced by his side. My girlfriend sang, & we had the best, & most fun night of our lives at the most beautiful reception venue I have ever seen. Our wedding night was spent at the Park Hyatt Sydney WOW that has to be the best hotel in Sydney. We topped everything off with a beautiful 12 night honeymoon in Thailand. I love my husband & love being married.
