OUR WEDDING DAY

Mike and I wish to say thank you to all our dear friends and family for coming to our wedding day on 8th nov 2008 @ Koninur hall.

We especially thank Mikes Mum 'Susan' for coming all the way from Cananda for our special day.

It was every thing we dreamed of and better...Big thanks to all our crew who helped us to transform the venue into a magical space of celebration.
Aneira for setting up his tipi for the honeymoon suite, how lush it was.

Thank you to Robynn & Nick for all their hard work in the decorating of the Hall & all the family who helped them on Friday & Saturday & durning the 2 weeks leading up to the day and Dave for his Palms!
Big Thanks to Imo for her wonderful art work on the front board out side & for being our photo goddess.
Thanks to my dear friend Richard for bringing the Champagne to us cold and ready to enjoy!
To Symon for picking up the Kegs of beer and setting it up for us behind the bar...Thanks Bro!

The Day did not pass by with out hic ups to make it more eventful!

It started with the groom (our darling Mike) vomitting for the first 4 hours in the morning..I (the bride) almost thought to not do the ceremony as Mike was so sick..but he got better miraculously.

Mean while all plans were thrown out the window and I ended up being at the hall doing the final set up with dear friends on Saturday.....Mike sooned joined me and we were able to set up our beautiful rose quartz circle together, which was a wedding gift given to us by dear friends on the day.

Elsa was still sewing away up at the Hall on Saturday Morning doing the finishing touches on my dress. WOW what a beautiful dress....Thank you Elsa, as this was a growing challenge for you!!!!

By 3pm I thought we'd best go get ready.....when I remembered that we forgot our rings!!!
They were still at home. Nick somehow manage to get all this on camera...I am sure it will be hilarious on film! Thanks so much Nick for filming the whole event.

Jo had just arrived at the hall so she drove me home to get the rings where I took the time to get showered, dressed and hair done all in 30mins.

Now this is when it got funnier as Jo & I do not do Hair, as Mike mum Susan was going to do it for me and she was back at the hall. So we called in the hair goddess and got it all done in 10mins with lots of laughter and joy in the process..... The end result....absolutely fabulous! Thanks my
darling Jo.

I arrived just in time to the hall to see you all out in the garden, it was such a joyful moment seeing all these people that I love all in one spot.

To my darling sisters who opened the circle, WE thank you.....Mike and I got shivers down our spines as Char and Jo called the spirits & to Elsa, Kylee & Jennine for representing my family.

To all our shining reiki family for being the gate keepers of the circle and for so gracefully smudging all who entered the sacred circle, to beautiful Sarah, for making such devine smudge sticks your intent was felt strong and so lovingly....WE Thank you
