Hello again! It has been far too long since I’ve written here. So much life has happened, (including a hacked server, oh joy) it’s hard to know where to start. For now, let me begin with the biggest event; we got married <3
Though stormy weather was forecast, it held off beautifully. We had a great photo session in Sidney, and though the pier was covered in people it felt like we were the only ones there. Patricia had us ladies climbing over rocks in dresses and heels, and I’m proud to say no one fell over or got seaweed on a dress! We felt pretty badass. There is so much that happened on the day, but mostly I keep remembering the moments. I’ll share them slowly over the next few weeks so I can savour them all over again.
We stayed the Thursday night at the Sidney Pier Hotel. I woke up to the hum of float planes taking off and a pleasantly overcast day; nice and bright but not too hot. Eric had to run off to get ready with his family, but I was able to spend most of the morning with myself and a cup of coffee. That quiet personal time really helped me breathe and be present. Soon enough, my mum and bridesmaids arrived and we ordered rooms service for lunch and visited until the photographer arrived. I’m so glad we had time to chat and relax (and that I didn’t over schedule myself!)
Chelsy and Bailey were my wedding-week heroes. They took so much of the last-minute pressure off and made sure I felt human. I don’t know what I would have done without them! (Most likely cried more and slept less). I count myself lucky to have them. (Thank you ladies!)
