Honeymoon Part 1. . Fiji

We got back from Fiji yesterday.

7 glorious days in the sunshine. 

I have a tan ( I know my skin cells are in trauma)

I have sexy patchy peeling shoulders.

We had an amazing time together as husband and wife. 

Doing absolutely nothing.

Some Snorkelling pics with our new underwater camera

Hangin' by the pool

Hangin' around in the hammock

Thats me .. hidden in shadow

Sunset walks along the beach

Honeymoon Part 2 starts on Friday... Melbourne and Great Ocean Road Trip

Sneaky Pic

                                                        It is done! We are Mr & Mrs.

People don't lie when they say it flies. 

And that you will be exhausted at the end.

The most exciting things in life take effort.

It was the best day of my life.

Slightly blurry but that is the back of the dress
and the back of my husband. hehe

Off to Fiji on Tuesday! I can't wait!

xx. K

Lyrics

I choose songs for lyrics

I'm a sucker for love song dedications.

So I heard this song on the radio the other day.

And despite being anti- one direction I love the lyrics.

I want it played at the reception.

Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me
but bear this mind it was meant to be
and I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks
and it all makes sense to me

i know you've never loved the crinkles by your eyes when you smile,
you've never loved your stomach or your thighs
the dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine
But I'll love them endlessly

I won't let this little things slip out of my mouth
But if I do, it's you, oh it's you, they add up to
  I'm in love with you and all these little things

You can't go to bed without a cup of tea
maybe that's the reason that you talk in your sleep
and all those conversations are the secrets that I keep
though it makes no sense to me

  I know you've never loved the sound of your voice on tape
you never want to know how much you weigh
you still have to squeeze into your jeans
but you're perfect to me

  I won't let this little things slips out of my mouth
But if it's true, it's you, it's you, they add up to
I'm in love with you and all these little things

You never love yourself half as much as I love you
you'll never treat yourself right darling but I want you to
if i let you know, I'm here for you
maybe you'll love yourself like I love you oh

  I've just let these little things slips out of my mouth
because it's you, oh it's you, it's you they add up to
and I'm in love with you (all these little things)
I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
but if it's true, it's you, it's you they add up to
I'm in love with you, and all your little things. 

I love the part about talking in your sleep. M and I apparently have conversations while I am half asleep. Last week was about the fact that I needed to get on the bus. M said I was not a fan of those extended buses ( with the accordion middles). Everything that I say in those situations is excluded from the court record.

This song was around when we first started to date. I searched hundreds (or what felt like) of songs to find something and ultimately it came down to 'Our Song'

Progress.and excitement

This morning, M had to leave to go to work. Just before he left and I was still in bed he leaned over and said ' This time in a fortnight we will be married' 

At this moment my bridesmaid T is sitting on a sheet on the floor sewing a bustle button into my dress. I woke up today for the first time really excited about it all.

    13 days!

Losing my head and Hens night

I'm usually quite calm about things... on the outside, meanwhile actually screaming in my head.

Today was an exception to that rule.

 I got my dress altered. Shortened the length, added sleeves ( which were to be removable through a clip) and a bustle.

I got:

The correct length at the front - TICK

Sleeves which were hand sewn on- Bah Bowww

A wrist tie to only ONE of the 5 layers, the rest of the layers hang free

The Top layer isn't cut as short as the others which makes it look odd

A blood stain where someone who has pricked themselves when sewing on the sleeves.

There is also an unexplained (slight) stain near the hem at the front

So I called her today and lost my head. I never do that. Yelling at an old lady made me feel guilty but then I get mad that I am feeling guilty and all of it comes out of my eyeballs. Luckily it was after I had gotten off the phone. She had offered to come back to get it cleaned but now I think after she hung up on me I have well and truly burnt that bridge. 

Poor M has tried to be supportive while not getting too much information about the dress. 

My bridesmaid has offered to fix some of it for me which is a real blessing. M is out at his grandparents place to find out the name of their seamstress they trust just in case my bridesmaid can't fix it.  I am hoping she can. She made her own wedding dress so I trust her. With 18 days to go my stress head is on and I want to get rid of it. !!!! 

In other news, I had my hens day on Saturday. Firstly L threw me a Kitchen Tea. The idea of a Kitchen Tea to me was you drink tea, champagne, play games and have cake. I never related it to getting presents. I got a whole kitchen load full! We didn't have enough storage as it was and now we have to get a bigger kitchen ... which is FINE BY ME! 

We then went to Crinitis in Darling harbour for dinner first, with lots of cocktails, lots of pizza, pasta and other lovely goodies. Followed by some daggy dancing at Retro. T and I went back to my place to find the best man (her husband) asleep at 2am and we , being super tipsy found that unacceptable and dragged him out of bed to have some more drinks with us.  I spent most of yesterday recovering and trying to solve dress problems that T is going to try and fix. 

My attire. I stealthly hid the hens night dares when people weren't looking

MMMMM dessert!

We got one of those coffee machines from ALDI with pods.
M and I will enjoy the hot chocolate ones and guests get to have proper coffee

18 days and counting.

Fiji is on the other side!

 

Problem Solving

Anyone know how to get vellum to wrap around a large tea light candle holder? The kind of ones which are smaller at the bottom than at the top. Any suggestions will be most welcome. This one


Oh and today is 1 year since we became engaged. The day has been pretty good. We went for a drive up to the northern beaches to collect something I won on ebay.

I then proceeded to burn dinner... twice. Sigh. M knew my culinary skills before he proposed.

That is all.
