my wedding

I haven't been on here for quite a while. I'm planning to post at least twice a week from now on. I hope I can live up to that!

But I do have a good excuse for being slack: I have gotten married!!!

On November 22nd was the big day. We had a small, intimate wedding with just 25 people in total. It turned out soo nicely! The celebration took place in Ocean Grove, that is a small twon by the sea. We had rented a big house where most of our family members stayed with us.

Even though the planned garden wedding didn't happen (storm and rain) we found a very suitable venue with the living room. We had such a great day with everyone, it couldn't have worked out any better!

In the afternoon we managed to sneak out to the beach between to periods of rain for some photos and I'm glad we did.
I don't want to bore you any longer, have a look:














Yes, I did wear a red dress! I always wanted to get married in red and I'm so glad I did. Everyone loved the dress, especially the groom was very impressed when the well-kept secret was finally revealed.

My lovely friend
Katrina did the greatest job with my hair. Here we are, getting ready for the ceremony:




She also made our wedding cake! It looked soo pretty, covered in roses. Not to mention the taste. I'm lucky I had such good help for the day. Here it is:



We had such a great day, I wish I could relive it again without all the stress and nerviousity beforehand. I'm also very glad that my mother and sister were able to come all the way from Germany to spend this special day with us. They are still here and we did so much over the last few days. I'm going to post a few photos of our recent trips to the Great Ocean Road and Phillip Island soon.

Here one last wedding photo, a funny one, of (almost) all the guests (someone had to take the photo)
