    I have to post a link to my venue,just so excited I cant keep it to myself.

    Not too sure about this venue... I don't think I could go there... I might not be able to leave!!!

    IT'S STUNNING!!! What an unbelievably beautiful place! You are so clever! This would be an absolute dream. Unfortunately I have to get married in Brisbane for family etc. Please post some of your pictures after the wedding!

  • It's 10 days till Mine!! Not stressed at all, originally just going to be us 2 with hotel owner and her husband as witnesses, half of OH family don't speak to the rest, so we thought bubbles to them let's just do it. It's 2nd time for both of us. But in the end I want my kids, mum, sister and brother to be there. Especialy my son whose going to be my witness as we've just found out he's being posted to Afghanistan for 7 months soon and it will be his first posting. I'm worried sick about him already and he hasn't even gone
