My little wish list......

Since I got married (which really wasn't all that long ago) I've noticed that the little wish list in my head is slowly starting to grow. Some of the things I would like are really simple and easy to do or to acquire, but others, well they might just take me a while. Let me show you just a few of the things on my wish list......

1. I would love to make the perfect red Velvet Cake. It'll be light and fluffy and have a gorgeous cream cheese frosting.
2. I would then like to make this one.....When I can make this, then I'll be one happy wifey
   
3. I would love to have a vegetable garden. A big one, like Jamie Olivers. It'll have pumpkins, chilli's, carrots, leeks, tomatoes, onions, potatoes, cucumbers......not too mention the fruit trees! Oranges, lemons, limes!
4. Acreage. I would dearly love to own some acreage. I want to put a few animals on the land, just a few ;) How do you like the sound of.....a horse, a cow, a goat, a donkey, a sheep, some chickens, some ducks, some geese, a dam with some fish. Not much then, eh? Then I'd have room for my vegetable patch as well! And plenty of room for my Boof to run around.....
5. Photography. The last on my list at the moment, but definitely not the least. I will get a DSLR this year. And I will get a degree. And I will make it big!..........well the first 2 anyway!
   

How about you? What's your wishlist?

Comments

I am really loathe to do this, but unfortunately I have had to add word verification and comment moderation to the comments on my posts. I was getting some rather interesting (and unsavoury!) comments on my posts.

What a bother!

The Reception!

Ahhh finally, the end of the night! The day just passed soooo quickly, it seemed like only half an hour had passed but the whole day was nearly over!

We had a lot of trouble with our reception in the end, with all the trouble we had when Carlita took over the running of events we then had some hiccups on the night. It was arranged that the bridal party were to have canapes and drinks beforehand in a separate room before we made our entrance. But that never happened. The bar tab was only meant to include house wine and beer, but they were charging spirits and $50 bottles of wine to the tab! We had $1000 on the tab and it was gone about 2hrs into the night! We were not happy. *sigh* but there was nothing that could be done about it and we weren't going to let it ruin our evening. (They ended up refunding us the money for all spirits that were charged onto the tab, so at least the remedied that in the end. It took some wrangling on Luke's dads part though.)

And a HUGE thanks to Pete Reyne for MC'ing for us! He did a brilliant job! It was a glorious evening! There was great food and great friends. I had sooooo much fun! The pictures do it more justice then I ever could......

The Ceremony

The ceremony was so incredibly perfect, I couldn't have asked for it to be any better.

I arrived at the church a little tiny bit early, so we went for a drive around the block. Whilst we were parked, James (Luke's brother who was driving my dad and I) turned around and said that Luke had given him something to give to me. I opened up the box and inside was the most perfect little Claddagh ring. I had been eyeing it off a few weeks prior! It was gorgeous :)

So with that, we drove up to the church and started the lengthy process of getting me and my dress out of the car....




We had a slight mishap with my bracelet, the latch kept coming undone :S

And then, all too soon, the strains of Pachebels' Cannon in D was floating down the aisle and the girls were making their way down. Then the music lifted and dad and I made our way towards my future. Luke looked spectacular, standing up the front, a huge grin on his face and the hint of tears in his eyes. That image is the clearest part of the whole day. If I forget the rest of that day, I will never forget that part.




Luke told me later that I kept winking at him! All I remember is not being able to stop smiling!

Many many many thanks to Nathan for playing the keys for us and to Kylie for singing. It was beautiful!!

And thanks again to my lovely ladies and Luke's handsome men....

I had so much fun!

Thanks to Tim for delivering a perfect ceremony! It was so much more than I ever wished for :) And thanks to Sarah for the bible reading :D

Time to sign the register....


And then we were husband and wife!


Perfect perfect perfect!!
