24 Things about...
...My Wedding
I did this on facebook and I thought it would be cool to re-post here. If you'd like to share you're own with me I LOVE wedding stories! If you're not married tell me what your fantasy wedding answers would be...some of my single girlfriends answers are amazing (and hilarious!)
So, here it is...
1. WHERE DID YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND MEET? At a Hotel in the City, he was a friend of a friend
2. HOW LONG HAD YOU BEEN TOGETHER PRIOR TO GETTING ENGAGED? 4 years
3. WHEN AND HOW DID YOUR HUSBAND PROPOSE? We got engaged 11/11/06 after talking about getting married and picking a date 2 weeks earlier...then we thought, hmmm, maybe we should actually get engaged seeing as we've picked a date!
4. WERE YOU EXPECTING IT? See above!
5. DID HE CHOOSE THE RING AND DID YOU LIKE IT? We picked it together
6. HOW LONG WAS YOUR ENGAGEMENT? 21 months
7. HOW OLD WERE YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND WHEN YOU TIED THE KNOT? Dave was 27, i was 26
8. INVITATIONS: Pink & Green, mostly designed by me, improved upon and made by Dave's mum's best-friend as a wedding gift
8. LOCATION OF CEREMONY: Lakeside at The Sebel Spa & Resort Hawkesbury Valley
9. LOCATION OF RECEPTION: The Gazebo at The Sebel Spa & Resort Hawkesbury Valley
10. HOW MANY GUESTS? 110
11. BRIDESMAIDS: My sister Amy, and friends Kristy & Hailee
12. BRIDESMAID DRESSES: Sage green, strapless, fell just below the knee with a matching shawl and pink sash
13. GROOMSMEN: Dave's 'best' mate Tapas, his brother Dan & his friend (and the man who introduced us!) Jeff .
14. DRESS: Strapless ivory, with hand-sew bead & crystal net overlay, detachable skirt to convert dress to 3/4 length
15. HAIR AND MAKE-UP: Hair by Iconic Hair & Beauty and make-up by Tammy, my Nutrimetics lady
16: THEME: Just pink & green and fun!
17. FLOWERS: White & light & dark pink roses, girls had smaller version, boys had pink rose button-holes
18. RINGS: Yellow-gold v-shaped with 9 diamonds, found it in Prouds and it fit perfectly with my engagement ring (which is not your usual shape, it's a flower made of little diamonds) and it was half-price!
19. PHOTOGRAPHY: David Starr Photography
20. CAKE: 2-tier chocolate mud with no icing decoration but a pale pink ribbon around each tier and a bride figurine with a fishing rod on the top tier, catching the groom trying to get away on the bottom tier, couple of icing flowers
21. DECORATIONS: Glass hurricanne lamps filled with white, pink & green organza lolly bags! note: don't put m&m's and skittles in the same bag..casued some taste confusion! People were expecting chocolate and lolly in the same mouthful! My bad!
22. WHAT SONG DID YOU WALK DOWN THE AISLE TO? All I Want is You by U2.
23. WHAT SONG DID YOU HAVE YOUR FIRST DANCE TO? I Got You Babe by Sonny & Cher, in memory of my grandparents, who dressed as Sonny and Cher and performed (lip-synched!) this at their suprise 50th wedding anniversary party (they were going to do it, even if we'd taken them to a restaurant!) they couldn't be there sadly as Grandma passed away in 2001 and Grandpa is in a nursing home with advanced dementia...:-( This was my way of having a piece of them there. I taught Dave how to dance properly and twirl me round, people were impressed by his fancy footwork!
24. WHAT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE PART OF THE DAY? The whole day was fabulous, best day of my life, but my fav part was going back to our room after it was all done, soaking in the spa together and talking about how great the day was and how cool it was to be husband and wife
