Our Wedding Day

Our day was perfect...

p.s. I know they are in random order :) Our day was perfect but my skills with this program are not :P

In Loving Memory...

(Kim) As the big day approaches I am starting to feel a piece of my heart aching that I haven't felt before. One of the most special people in my life wont be at our wedding. Not because they didn't want to, but because God had other plans. I will always miss my Oma, but never more than on that special day... I love you Oma. xxx

Guess Who's Coming to Perth!?!?!

(Kim) It's actually starting to feel real now that the very special people in our lives that live outside of Perth are arriving. Leigh, Jana and the Sarti Party arrived in Perth on Tuesday, Alastair and Ruth arrived last night and my BEST friend since grade 3 Lori, will be arriving on Monday. It's all so exciting! (There will be lots of !!!! and "exciting" from now on!!!!) I cannot wait until next Saturday arrives and I will get to see the most special people in my life all in the same place at the same time! Bring on the 13th!!!!

My Kitchen Tea!

(Kim) On the 2nd of August my Mum and Christie organised a Kitchen Tea for me and it was so much fun! Christie took me out shopping for decorations and I felt spoilt before the event had even begun! My house filled with friends and family, food and decorations and gifts of all kinds! I wish to give thanks for all the wonderful gifts I received from everyone and all the memories we recalled and created on the day. I had an awesome time and Christie and Mum did a wonderful job. Christie planned some games and had everyone make something special for me as a keepsake. Christie had purchased a sweet little album and asked each guest to write a piece of marriage / relationship advice which was placed in the album and presented to me after I opened all my other gifts... it was beautiful! There were two things that made the afternoon particularly special for me. Firstly, Christie has also arranged for each person at the party to write down their fondest memory of me. Some made me laugh whilst many had me almost in tears of joy. It's amazing how a couple of words can really melt your heart! Secondly, my Mum had bought a cake with the words, "Congratulations and Good Luck" written on it. She asked Glenn to come into the lounge room (full of women I might add!) and gave a short but "Mum" speech before Glenn and I cut the cake and it was served for afternoon tea. It was such a great afternoon!

Coming Together

(Kim) Well as of today there are only 86 days until our wedding day. It's really not that long now and it's all starting to come together.

Today I went to Silk Elegance to collect my "smalls" and got a call from both Studio Collections to tell me the bridesmaids dresses would be ready for collection next week and also Pearls Bridal to arrange my first fitting for my gown along with my accessories.

Today was also exciting because we received our first official RSVP after posting out our invitations last Friday. I wish to thank those of you who have passed on some wonderful compliments regarding the invitations. I enjoyed putting them together... every pain staking moment! I do have to admit that I feel a touch of RSI from tying so many tiny bows!

Today I also got my head piece delivered! It's been quite an eventful day without even trying! After so many months of trying to find the perfect head piece to match my other jewellery, I was able to find the perfect piece at Rush Creations and when it arrived today, it was more perfect that I imagined!

Last weekend Glenn and I had a visit from a men's formalwear company that actually come to your home and do all the fittings etc then deliver and collect from your home after the wedding. This weekend we will be visiting some other places to get a good idea of prices and the options we have available. I have asked around a bit and the price they gave seems pretty similar to the prices I have found on the web, but we will see what we find out on Saturday.

Saturday night I am having a bunch of the girls over for an Undercover Wear party to look at some options for the honeymoon. Glenn doesn't seem to have any problem with this, as long as he isn't asked to model anything!!!!!

A Dog's Life

In other news, our dog Sasha has been unwell but is in recovery today after a day and night at the vet. Hopefully after having next week off work to relax for a bit, I wont end up there myself! Milly has also pulled herself together after having to spend that time by herself, hogging the heater and having us all to herself. It's a dog's life!

Wedding Invitations

(Glenn) The invitations will be sent out very soon. Kim and I, well mainly Kim, have been hard at work making them...
