A long break



It's been just over a year since I last posted and a lot has happened, not surprisingly!

Here's a few of the highlights:
  • As you will have seen above, Bardoe cut his hair! Yes, long gone is the Pirates of the Carribean-esque ponytail and he now resembles more one of the Three Muskateers.
  • We have booked our ceremony venue and decided to go with Daniels in the Park for our reception.
  • Changed our theme from "Kings and Queens" to "Masquerade Ball"
  • I found THE DRESS! A glorious creamy satin dress with champagne lace worth $3000 which I bought second hand off trademe for a steal (though for that price it was more like an Ocean's Eleven hiest).
  • Created and posted my bridemaids' invitations - photos to come.
  • Purchased the fabric for the bridesmaids' dresses and have almost finished putting them together (waiting on two of my five bridemaids to confirm).
  • Decided to make our own wedding cake... Now just have to find the perfect cake recipe! We are thinking a 3 or 4 tier, 'crooked' style, rich vanilla cake with brown and gold swirls and white frosting.
  • Our good friends, Daniel and Jasmine got engaged and are getting married on August 28th 2010. Bardoe is best man and I am a bridemaid so have been busy sewing the dresses.

Well that is all that comes to mind right now, photos coming soon.
