Wedding Invitations

I love having a sister, and I especially love having a graphic designer sister who agreed to create our wedding invitations (thanks Sorrel)! Here's a sneak preview:

Wedding Nightmares

Judging by some of my recent dreams, my subconscious is really getting caught up in wedding planning. Luckily I find the results amusing rather than scary!

The day of the wedding was drawing to a close, and all of the important parts were over. Unfortunately I’d developed amnesia and couldn't remember any of it…

I hired someone to organise some dancing as entertainment, and it turned out to be an over the top extravaganza complete with chorus lines, acrobatics, fireworks and special effects. I realised that I’d never discussed budget and had just doubled the cost of the wedding.

I arrived at the ceremony to find that all the female guests had decided to ignore the guideline of not wearing white to a wedding. And they’d taken it a step further by wearing their own wedding dresses...


And about once a week I dream that we've completely forgotten to make ceremony arrangements with the celebrant, and have no idea what we’re going to say! I guess I should get in touch with her and start getting things sorted.

Wedding Dress Inspiration

It’s taken me a while, but I’ve found a wedding dress that I love:

The chances of finding something similar locally are probably quite low (the majority of dresses available here feature excessive beading, strapless bodices, elaborate princess skirts, or a combination of the three) but luckily there are plenty of dressmakers around!

I’ve found that looking at wedding dress after wedding dress can get quite overwhelming, but there’s also a few other dresses that have caught my eye:

I’m starting to notice a pattern… It will be interesting to see how things go when I actually get the chance to try a few dresses (which should be sometime soon!)

Engaged!

Owen & I celebrated our ten year anniversary last Friday (we've been together since we were sixteen!) and he completely surprised me with a proposal!

Since it was our anniversary we exchanged gifts (a pocket watch for him, a pair of diamond earrings for me), then Owen said he'd also bought me another present. I thought it would just be something little, and was stunned when he handed me an engagement ring!

We hadn't really talked about getting engaged, and I was sure that I would've known if Owen had been planning anything. But he managed to keep everything a secret, and I absolutely love the ring he chose!

We haven't set a date yet, but are thinking about this time next year so we can keep the same anniversary.

Exciting!
