Happy Monday!

Today we received our pro-shots from Shaun - what a fantastic start to the week! My to-do list went out the window as the slideshow kept flicking over on our TV all evening - WOW there are some fantastic memories there - and some I hadn't seen yet like when Trav and the boys were getting ready. We're really looking forward to looking through them all properly over the next week (to our wedding music playlist!). I even convinced Trav to give our dance a go in the kitchen this evening, we remembered most of it too!

To the special women in my life

This journey was made all the more meaningful and enjoyably by the women who surrounded me. How can I possibly put all my feelings into words? I can only do my best to let you know how you are appreciated...

Thank you Mum

My hero. Mum there's so much to love about you. Apart from having the absolute biggest heart in the whole wide world, you are truly the most generous and selfless person I have ever met. I have had so much fun preparing with you over the last 2 years and will treasure these memories forever. Who else's Mum got dressed up as the Queen of Hearts at their bridal shower? As I continue to grow I hope that I can learn enough from you to make my daughter just as proud as you make me, I love you.

Thank you Marian

I am so honoured to officially be a part of your clan! Your support, ideas and love are so very important to me. There's still so much I know you can teach me and I look forward to our friendship continuing to grow. I know I can rely on you for advice and as our marriage and family grows, I'm sure I will! Marian, there's nothing you can't solve with the POP of a bottle and the clink of glasses.

Thank you Deborah

There is no one else we'd choose to stand up at the altar with us, officiating our wedding vows. It really made our wedding day all the more special knowing such a close friend had been there with us along the way, creating our ceremony. I know our friendship will continue to grow over the coming years, distance won't be a barrier for us.

Thank you Louise

You helped keep me on track if my worries got the better of me and your advice from your own experiences was always received gladly. Now I'm also married and I can appreciate everything you said. There wasn't one minute of our engagement or our wedding day that I took forgranted and I think this is why I can relive it all so clearly today. It's easy to get caught up in the wedding hype, but as I suspected all along, at the end of the day it's about two people sharing their special celebration with their closest family and friends. I hope we can continue to learn from each other as the years pass.

Thank you Tamra

Your friendship over so many years has truly been an amazing gift. We are constantly learning from each other and I look forward many more years of that! You have been such an amazing woman to have by my side - the thought you put into my Bridal Shower and Hens Party was incredible! During our whole engagement and on our wedding day you were completely selfless and devoted to helping me celebrate the beginning of this exciting new chapter. I'm looking forward to sharing your special day sometime in the future and I wish for you all the happiness that I have enjoyed over this journey.
