Well our Engagement Party was a success!! We had so much fun! Spent the entire day setting up the house/yard, partied the night away and spent the entire next day cleaning up. Had some wonderful food made by Belinda, she's a friend from work and convenient enough she has her own catering business. Had so many compliments on it, it was great! Lots of alcohol, a yummy home made chocolate cheesecake made by Narelle (my made of honor:) and some great company! Sounds like everyone had good fun! And a BIG THANK YOU for all of our gifts. They will all be well used :) We had a wonderful time!

Let the party begin! I think we have enough left over to last until Christmas :P
Before the party
Yum! Candy table! :D
Our bride & groom bottle holders. Love them!
Dan's other love, M&M's
I think the house/yard looked great! It was nice to host a party (our fist one) and be able to crash into bed right afterwards.
Our alcohol guard dog! :P haha, I don't think it's a very flattering picture of him, but still adorable!
Lighting the candles as it gets darker.
Some of Dan's workmates.
Brian, one of my workmates and his partner.
Belinda, our beautiful caterer.
Tahnee and her friend Trent. Dan and I met Tahnee when we worked up Mount Washington in Canada, she's Australian and she lives 20min from us now. What a small world!
Ashleigh, a workmate :)

The morning after....
Just a little bit to clean up ;) (I think Junior's in the middle of a yawn in this shot, looks funny)
Thank you for all of the cards! :)
Found this little guy in one of Junior's water bowls the other week. We have a great little eco system in our backyard when it's raining, lots of frogs. So cool! He was just swimming round in there while Junior took a drink, too funny!
My cowboy :)
Did you see Wonder Woman??! She came and left so quick!
Cutting the cake.
Yum!! Thank you Rel! It was delicious! xx
I saw my first cremation the other day too. We had to stop by Dan's work to return a few things we borrowed for the party and it just so happens that we had to go to the crematorium. It was weird, kind of cool, sad of course if you know the person. I know the last time Dan took me there (5 years ago) I cried, I had never been around, talked about or aware of death, it was a little rattling at the time. Of course a little different this time around. Saw a big bin full of all the metal screws, plates, hip joints etc, again...weird. But kind of interesting.
On a happier note...6 weeks! :) Until I fly to Canada. Yippee!!
And of course, what you've all been waiting for :) Our wedding;
September 9th, 2013 in Koh Samui, Thailand!!
We've booked the venue, a lovely beach wedding, it's going to be absolutely amazing. Now we get to put some personal touches on the ceremony/reception, book our flights, accommodation and some fun things to do and then we'll be set. We're both SO excited! Lots to plan, lots to look forward to! :)
Anyway, I think this is long enough, hope you enjoyed all the photos :) Until next time :) xxx
CONGRATULATIONS. Looks like you had a wonderfull time, weather sooooooooo loverly. Wish I could have been there. Bet Dan enjoyed the candy table :)
