What a weekend and a bit .....

, Hi everyone

Well I made it through the weekend, but boy I am still weary.

The weekend started on Friday morning for me.

As you may be aware, Mothers Day was on Sunday, so my girls decided to give me a treat earlier.  So on Friday they took me to get a manicure, pedicure and nails done - for the wedding of course.

Then Saturday - what a picture perfect day.  The weather was glorious, I think temps were around 25C/77F, absolutely clear skies, not a breath of wind - wonderful.  It was like this ALL day and those temps were at 3.30pm in the arvo!!!

But now all those months of planning and organising came together and all within a few short hours.  Everything went perfectly, even the surprise video for the Groom from his oldest, oldest friend who could not be there.

The setting was absolutely perfect and the staff worked very hard and very competently and created a smooth, hiccup free event - Well done to all staff at the Newport Mirage!!!!



Just a glimpse of the beautiful flower-girls in their capes - which they definitely did not need - way too hot to wear, so I had to grab a quickie shot with them in the corner ☺

You would think these two beautiful little girls were sisters, the way they look, speak and mannerisms.  But no, they live on the opposite side of Australia from each other (one in Sydney the other in Perth) and they have absolutely no family connections.  I think they became best friends in a matter of minutes, even managed to squeeze a sleep-over on the night!!

And a photo of our combined Motley Crew!!!



Now as for Sunday, well there is a project I want to share, so you can wait for the next post

Bye for now
