Way too long, super duper overdue wedding post…

So. I got married. Um…last year. In September…yeah. About that. Wanna see some pictures? (insert sheepish grin here)

Before we get to the good stuff…i have to gush a little bit first about how truly awesome our day was. You see, both the Wee-b and I have been married before and we figured as this time it was for keeps (no takebacks-pinky swear) we should create the wedding we REALLY wanted. My first wedding was a doozy. In fact, to be completely honest, I should really say, my ex-mother-in-laws second wedding was a doozy ;) It was nuts, over the top and full of people I have never met in my entire life. I think my friends took up about 1/32nd of the entire headcount. But enough about that.

Goal #1 for our dream wedding was making sure it was full of our closest family and friends. Goal #2 was making sure that the location was TOTALLY AWESOME and Goal #3 was to enjoy. Luckily my parents decided that they would come over this side of the ocean and give us a hand  reaching our goals. Oh who am I kidding…the aussies totally slayed our goals and ticked off new ones we didn’t even know we had.

So..Goal #1 – we invited about 35 of our closest friends and family .doo dee dooo

Goal #1a – one of our closest friends was ordained as a minister just to marry us! And we created our own, totally goofy, definitely us, wedding vows.

Goal #2 – Awesome location? Our backyard (we even got to enjoy two of the cutest mini photogs in the world – thanks Hencat!) – CHECK!

Goal #3a – OM NOM NOM

Honestly? Our wedding totally rocked. There is nothing about it (other than perhaps being able to fly in more of my Aussie family) that i would have changed. Thank you EVERYONE for making our day so brilliant and for reminding us once again how absolutely blessed we are to be surrounded by the most caring, generous, smart and loving people.

Just some fun things that have been on my mind recently. A mish mash of wedding ideas, thoughts for the house and random things i have been meaning to try :)

mar_thoughts

Fig. 1 – Candy Bricks! One of the many things I have been thinking about with regards to our wedding.

Fig. 2 – Macarons! I have been wanting to have a go at making these for the longest time. I have become quite skilled at making the pavlova so i think these would be a mimi-mini version of that. One of these weekends….perhaps when the mama arrives! (Aug 3rd…counting down!)

Fig. 3 – Okay. Seriously. If i am going to be baking i need to look AWESOME. ‘Nuff said.

Fig. 4 – Quilt! After a rough start last weekend, i received my replacement power cord ($10.77 – thanks Ebay!) on Tuesday and began sewing my jelly roll strips together. I have a long (loooong) way to go…but its a start!

Fig. 5 – Something small we picked up at Ikea today to hang in the guest bathroom for our upcoming guests towels to hang on. Listen…no-one said we had to grow up….there’s a reason my mum still calls me Tinkerbell.
