Our wedding day was almost a complete disaster! We planned for an garden wedding on our property and did not have a plan B! The day before the wedding we had torrential rain and winds of up to 60kms per hour. On the morning of the wedding there was snow in the nearby mountains and Nicks mother and our two sons required a police escort to get down the mountain so they could make it to the wedding! It rained on and off all day however when I started walking down the aisle the sun peeked through the clouds and the rain eased to a very light mist. The song playing was The Luckiest by Ben Folds and my tears flowed as I walked towards my soon to be husband. Everything melted away and all I could see was his smiling face. The only regret I have for the day was that our two year old daughter fell asleep in the car on the way to the ceremony. When I woke her she had a HUGE tantrum and refused to get out of the car so I walked down the aisle without her. We had such a fantastic and special day with our family and friends. It was worth all the dramas to be happily married to my wonderful husband.

i had such a great day we got married in a old style masion in winchlsea, we had our ceramony on the staircase and reception in the back room we had a magic man in another room for the kids and live music and great food for the guests. it was the best day of my life.

We had the best day of our lives. The weather was a concern all week and somehow we picked the one day that was 29 and perfect. Every day in the lead up and the week after rained! I was 30 minutes late, as we got married on a Friday and didn't account for peak hour traffic lights!!! The ceremony was really relaxed and casual which is just how we wanted it. Danny accidentally put the ring on my wrong finger. (I think he was a bit nervous!!) We had 170 guests who all seemed to thoroughly enjoy the day as much as we did. Our venue for both the ceremony and the reception was Glen Ewin Estate at Houghton. It is a beautiful location and I highly recommend it. The food that we chose was a 12 course banquet which worked really really well. All of our guests had all of the dishes which were shared in the middle of the tables. The food was unlimited so all of our guests were really well fed. Our honeymoon was to LA, New York Cancun Mexico, Las Vegas and San Francisco it was the best trip either of us have been on and definately a trip of a lifetime.
