Because I LOVED my wedding day....

All this talk of weddings of late has made me reminisce about my own big day, just 5 months ago. I gave you a sneak peak here, remember? It's crazy how quickly a wedding comes and goes. All that thought, preparation, stress, excitement, anxiety, and anticipation builds and builds and builds and then.......poof. It's over. Just like that.

We got married on October 16th, 2010 at Robert's restaurant in the Hunter Valley. If anyone is planning a wedding, I would highly highly highly recommend it. Beautiful venue, beautiful gardens, beautiful food. Just plain beautiful. It was a freezing cold and rainy sort of day, until about an hour before the ceremony, when the rain dried up, the clouds moved away and the streaming sunlight took over. I'm not sure if it was just my love-drunk emotional state but everyone who shared the day seemed to be as happy as we did, and that in itself kept the smile on my face. There was so much laughter. Some because it was the only way to keep ourselves warm, but most because it was by far and away, the best day of our lives.

Since I've been back in Sydney, the family's been dying to see all the professional shots that came through a few months ago back in Hong Kong. I thought that maybe some of you lovely people out there in blogland wouldn't mind having a squiz yourself.....so here it goes......

So....there it is. Our wedding. Wasn't it great?! I sure thought so.... 

As I said earlier, these special days in our lives just pass by far too quickly. Sometimes we need to be reminded to slow down, smell the roses, and remember those amazing times that truly define us. Thanks for strolling down memory lane with me xx

ps. Speaking of weddings, two of our dearest new friends in Hong Kong just got engaged on the weekend while they were visiting for a wedding here in Sydney! They are the most brilliant, beautiful couple who have welcomed us with open arms and been such great friends since we moved to Hong Kong and we are SO SO happy for them! Congratulations Shoey and Alex!!!!
