Hi Simone,
Many thanks for sharing it all with us - looks like you had the most amazing day! It was almost like bein there with you, reading all the account. The dress is fantastic, you lucky thing, and you look great.
Many many good wishes for the future - thats your first step on the road to Oz, isn't it!!!

Thanx Simone! Love looking at the pics & reading the story & glad you didnt do the toilet thing like I did LOL.

You looked fabulous, looks like you had a wonderful wonderful day .

(And I dont mind, you can blame me all you want if you feel you need an excuse for posting it )

Polly, you're next .

Thanks for reminding me Mrs D; I've been trying not to think about it! Makes me nervous and makes the Bloke twitchy!!!

I'm more likely to be hiding in the toilet, and I can promise you the photos will never come up to Simone's standards!

Bad news Polly, you've gotta think about it .. lots ...... cos its only a matter of weeks away .

As for the toilet ... well you've met Dagboy, please tell me why anyone in their right mind would be hiding in the toilets at the thought of marrying him? What on earth was I doing in there! LOL.

The heat had gotten to me & I was temporarily insane ....... thats my excuse anyway & Im sticking to it .

As for the photos, unless you are planing on using a pretty crappy camera Im betting that they will come out fabulous .

Thanks all, you're all too kind!

MrsDb, yes, I needed an excuse, thanks
Though you're not a british expat either. :P
But Pollyana is, so all's right in the world.....

So Pollyana, only a few weeks... You'll be fine.
And your photo's will probably be better! These were taken by my brother in law, who's as unprofessional as you can get, and taken with our own normal digital camera......

Oh, and I had a big zit on my forehead. Miraculously the makeup covered it! I didn't care (that much) anyway, I always have them, so that's just me!!

And about toilets, I had to go often! First on the way, at Pascal's grandma's house, and then we were back in the car, and literally five minutes later I had to go again. so I went at the townhall, just before it started. Had to go down stairs, find the light switch, find the toilets, arrrgggghhhhhh.
Nah, I wasn't actually that stressed, only nervous early in the morning, Pollyana, you'll be fine! Just relax

RELAX!!!! Its not till the end of January and I'm stressed already!!! :scared:
Our photos will be an ordinary digital camera too I think - this is going to be a budget wedding!

Isn't there anyone out there getting hitched between now and January who can take the heat off me!

Hey, congratulations!
Is it gonna be big or smallish??


Oh, and our wedding was a budget one, sort of, even though it may not have looked like it.

And congratulations to you too!

Ours is going to be a smallish one, a few close friends from Perth and a few friends and family from the UK. Trying to make it very informal with the whole idea of just having fun!

Going to be a great day and I can't wait!

Yes, ours was pretty informal too, well compared to what it is usually like here.
We don't have any close friends really. Except my few close friends in Perth,..... But we preferred doing it here, before we go, because of our family that we're pretty close to.

So, yours are coming out to Perth (well some)? That's great that you could get them there all at the same moment, well, they haven't a choice right!!

Well, have fun!
