We chartered a private ferry from Circular Quay for the grooms party and all the guests. Myself and the bridesmaids were getting ready in the Glam Van at HMAS Watson. Our ceremony was held at the Chapel at HMAS Watson (we are both military members), which is a stunning chapel with a glass front to overlook Sydney heads. After the ceremony we all boarded the ferry again (Rosman Ferries) to head back slowly. We stopped at the Opera House for some photots before disembarking at Circular Quay for a short stroll to Wolfies Bar and Grill at The Rocks.

The weather was absolutely perfect for our gorgeous St Kilda Botanical Gardens wedding. There was a stunning little gazebo surrounded by magnificent roses which is where we decided to hold our ceremony. The ceremony was absolutely perfect. We decided to write our own vows and when I heard what my husband wrote, I found it incredibly hard not to cry. During the signing, my beautiful 2 year old Son decided to show off his dancing skills and strutted his stuff to the music that was playing in the background. Certainly turned everyone's teary eyes into big smiles and laughs. Next was time for photos. I had 3 incredibly talented photographers who made the whole experience very enjoyable. They took us to Luna Park and the Palais Theatre, then on to the beach. Our Reception was on an amazing boat called the 'Sea Melbourne' From start to finish it was just perfect. Everyone commented on what a great idea and how fantastic it was. The food was delicious and the staff were lovely. I decided to go with doing my own decorations, We had a silver, white and black theme and it ended up looking fantastic. The Groomsmen were wearing silver suits and the bridesmaids looked beautiful in their black and white dresses. It was perfect day and everything went off without a hitch.
