Welcome to 2011,
I pray that the year is full of wonderful blessings for you!
I hope that you all have had a fantastic festive season full of love and laughter
December is always a very busy time of the year for us
We finish off the end of the school year and the working year
with a nice holiday, just the three of us.......
This year we spent a lovely 7 nights at Diamond Beach, NSW
and we were blessed with gorgeous weather
We celebrate my birthday, along with my mum's and my Brother in laws,
We celebrate Christmas with both of our families,
this year it meant 4 days of celebration
with two of those days hosted by us,
we just love Christmas!
we celebrate our anniversary,
on the 29th December 2010 we were married for 3 years
and every day it just gets better and better
Then we celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of a new one!
Happy New Years!
xx
We were married in the botanic gardens by Nick's minister and serenaded with live music by family, friends and a rendition of Amazing Grace on the bag pipes.
Young Nicholas gave me away and was also involved in the ceremony by reading a passage from the bible.
We had family photos in the Gardens and then we had our bridal party photo shoot at Mayfield Vineyard. The Vineyard has a restaurant and this is where Nick proposed to me.
Nick's brother worked there as an apprentice chef at the time and it was our favourite restaurant. Nick arranged for a special dessert with the proposal written in chocolate on a plate that held the engagement ring.
Nick did drop to one knee to propose and our song played in the background,
I was so surprised that I don't remember if I said yes or not!
I am so blessed to have such a thoughtful and loving husband
and I am looking forward to spending many many more years together
and celebrating many many more anniversaries.
Happy new year gorgeous...you have a lot of celebration don't you, sounds like a busy time of the year for you??
