The day after was a weird day, coming down from all of the excitement from the day before. It was a busy day too, running around collecting things from the reception venue, catching up with family, cleaning and tidying everything up after the wedding, of course opening presents and packing for the honeymoon. Our first day as husband and wife flew by, nearly as quickly as the day before...
Before I knew it, it was 5am and we were getting up to get ready to go on our honeymoon, I have never been more excited to get away and enjoy some quality time with my now husband. After the stress and tiredness associated with the wedding, I think I was actually looking forward to the honeymoon more than the wedding by the end.
We arrived at the airport, checked in, and headed off to get some brekky, we boarded our plane for Brisbane, it was empty! we pretty much has a whole section of the plane to ourselves, some time to just enjoy each others company. We then had a 4 hour stop over at Brisbane airport, a very long time, but we headed to the pub at the airport, watched some TV, Had a parma and a few drinks, then boarded our second plane of the day to Proserpine. From Proserpine airport, we were bussed into Airlie Beach.
Airlie was beautiful, its not like anywhere else I had seen before. It is the gateway to the whitsunday islands. Its absolutely stunning, full of restaurants, cafes, and beautiful dining places. We stayed at Waters Edge resort, the room was stunning, we got a champagne on arrival, the first night we stuck to our ritual signature dish and headed out for thai!
Day Two, we headed off on a Whitsundays cruise to the Great Barrier Reef, it was a 3 hour boat ride there and back, but its something I would reccommend to everyone!!! Cant wait to fill you in with more details and some photos soon xx

About 3:40pm March 23rd
It was time to roll. The part of the song was up where Dad and I started walking down the aisle! Off we went. I refused to let myself cry, even though I wanted too, I did tear up a little though. Before I knew it, I was at the alter standing next to my man and ready to go...
The story was told, our vows were said, and we were pronounced husband and wife! We signed the registry, everyone grabbed a drink and we did a cheers at the end of the ceremony and then proceeded to leave for photos. I got lots of horse shoes, and lots of photos were taken, lots of hugs and kisses along the way. We got to the end and waited for people to follow us through. It was great being able to see everyone. The time flies!!!
We were off taking photos and before we knew it we were being picked up to go to the reception, we got all the photos that we wanted as far as we know, ofcourse it takes a month or so before we see the professionals, but I have seen a number of friends and family snaps now...
Some ceremony sneak peeks below for you to take a look at, next time I will post about the reception xxx

March 23rd 2013
March 23rd 2013. It was the day that was never coming.... It was the day I had planned for 19 months, the day that there were blood, sweat and tears put into producing. They say an average person spends 100 hours planning their wedding, that sounds like a lot right? But I think I may have actually spent more time than that planning our wedding. And I must say I am so glad that I did because it all went perfectly!!! So much so, I wouldn't change a thing and I want to do it all again!!
The Night Before
The Night before was a fairly relaxed affair. The girls came over and we had a light tea, cold meat, salad and fruit, we sat down and watched bride wars, a bit of the football, black caviar do her thing, and then finished off the night by watching our deb DVD's. Laughing at each other, joking about the hair styles, remembering the people we hadnt seen in years. It felt like a fitting way to spend the night. It was about midnight when we decided to go to bed...not that I could sleep! I was too excited! The last time I checked the time it was 1:30, but I definitely woke up 3-4 times, and then awoke at 5am! I made myself stay in bed until 6am though trying to get some rest before the big day!
The Morning Of
My maid of honour was already up and at it by then, she had got together breakfast for all of us, which was pancakes, toast, yoghurt! I think I managed to eat about half of what I normally would out of anticipation! Then it was time to head off to the hairdressers!!!!
We were served with a beautiful welcome sign, champagne, and a food platter including strawberries, biscuits and chocolate!!!!
It began
We sat around for a little while, but then the photographer arrived and it was all systems go! Time to get ready, dressed the girls first, and then myself. Lots of photos!!! Then the flowers arrived, so more photos, a quick chat with the florist, and before we knew it the cars were there, a few more photos and time to go..
Sitting in the car on the 15 minute journey was so much fun, with my favourite 3 ladies, trying not to tear up too much. We got closer and closer and the excitement just kept building, it was astrange feeling though, it still felt like it wasn't today. Until we got there and "Without You" by Usher started to play. The girls started the walk and before I knew it, it was my turn to walk up the aisle.
To be continued.....
