I like to think that if I haven't been blogging for a while then it means I've been busy writing. And actually, for one, this is completely true. I've roasted 42k words on this latest draft of the novel and I am steaming through to the end. I have a lot of spare wordcount to work on and I feel as if this draft is the best one yet! Good things are coming in the world of Lexi and Tim.
I'll share more as soon as I have more. Watch this space!
This is Who We Are
I think a first dance is a very important part of a wedding and shouldn’t be overlooked.
It is easy for a bride and groom to think that the first dance is just an embarrassing part of the wedding where everyone watches you swaying around the dance floor for two and a half minutes.
But it doesn’t have to be. There are lots of ways to make your first wedding dance much more interesting!
A Spot of DIY
I wanted to post this video because I want to stress the point that you don’t have to spend zillions of pennies on an expensive wedding videographer.
I put this video together using a track I had from a CD I bought, Window Movie Maker, our professional photographers photos and a friend’s photos, and some video my little brother shot for us.
Together with the price of the CD, the video camera and using the professional photos we have already paid for, this video cost barely a fraction of the cost of some videographers.
Let me know what you think:
It’s All in the Details
Every bride spends hours and hours pouring over the tiny details in her wedding: the colour of the chair sashes, the twinkly flowers on the table names, the diamante scatters across the table – it all has to match and coordinate.
The logo’d photographs were taken by Clive Blair and they are utterly amazing!
My poor husband was dragged from Hobby Craft to Confetti, from wedding shop to flower shop to make sure that we coordinated all our tiny details.
My bridal shoes are probably one of the tiny touches that no one really saw, so here they are! I bought them in 2007 from China, they were custom made and I even designed them myself!
And my tiara, one of my favourite pieces from the wedding. I think I’ll keep it forever and wear it when I feel sad just to cheer myself up. It’s so beautiful!
Our Wedding Reception
From the big, red bus to our first dance, every moment was wonderful!
We arrived at the reception venue before all our other guests which gave our fantastic photographer, Clive Blair, the opportunity to take some beautiful photographs of us.
