Rensche uploaded some of our wedding pics last week and they are just beautiful! I can’t believe that Gary and I have already been married for two months but what a great “two-month-aversary” present it was to see these pics. Now I can’t wait to see what Rensche has in mind for our wedding album…
To see these gorgeous piccies, go on over here…

I have colour-treated hair. There I said it. I came clean. And this is why I’m so intrigued with Braun’s Satin 7 Colour curler… It promises to protect your highlights by evenly distributing the heat and also allows you to set the heat according to hair thickness.

Continued from part 14…
The last post was all about getting our invites out, finalising our seating plan and sorting out to-do lists. The last few weeks before our special day went by so quickly that they’re all blurry… But it doesn’t matter because our day was so memorable that I don’t need to recall the lead-up.
Saturday 24 March started off with French toast made specially for me by my dad. We sat on the patio in the early morning sun and chatted and ate. I was calm. But I was also nervous and excited. I couldn’t believe that the day had finally arrived.
The morning’s hair appointment drifted into the afternoon and the start of having my make-up done and getting ready. The photographer arrived and before I knew it, it was time to slip into my beautiful dress, put my red heels on, and take my dad’s arm as he walked me down the aisle.
I remember silently willing my legs to keep me upright. I remember each and every step on the grass towards a red rose petal heart where my husband-to-be was waiting. I remember leaning over and kissing him which obviously caused a stir, but I hadn’t seen him since the Friday and I just had to kiss him.
Our marriage officer led us through our vows and I Do’s. And as I was promising to be there through it all, I couldn’t help but notice how I was barely whispering the words. Not because I didn’t mean them or because I didn’t want anyone to hear, but just because there was so much emotion that my voice just couldn’t take it.
And then we were married. Husband and Wife. With a signed document to prove it and with red rose petals strewn all over us for extra effect.
The reception was perfect. The decor was beautiful. The atmosphere was relaxed. It was like we were hosting a dinner party with our nearest and dearest. The evening flew by in a bit of a haze between starters, main course, speeches and dessert. And although we had handpicked the menu (especially the dessert buffet), I found I couldn’t eat for the excitement. I was married! To the man of my dreams! To my best friend!
PS: Of everything that happened that day, the one thing I’ll never forget is how I burst into happy tears after reading through my Twitter timeline that morning and seeing Gary’s tweet about how he was going to be marrying his best friend.
And now for some piccies… These were all taken by family or friends and uploaded to Facebook. I just can’t wait to see the professional pics…

The gadget is placed gently inside and it’s wrapped in a thin cellophane-type paper which perfectly surrounds your little wonder to protect it. And that first moment as you rip off the wrapping, is like unwrapping a present on your fourth birthday and discovering that it’s the Barbie you’ve been nagging your parents about for months… Opening my new iPad was so much better than getting a top-of-the-range Barbie!

I picked up this beaut of a camera the other day and already I’m impressed! The Samsung NX200 Digital Camera is light. It’s easy to hold. It’s compact. It even comes with a flash that you can easily slide onto the camera body. And even more exciting, I have also been given a secondary lens to try.

…because my receding gum has been fixed!!
Two weeks ago I went in for my gum graft operation to fix a receding gum. I arrived at the doctor’s rooms at 7:30am and was taken through to get comfy on the operating chair. They gave me a sleeping tablet to pop that would put me under for the duration of the op. I must either have a slow metabolism or they didn’t give me a high enough dosage as I was awake for the entire procedure! Yes the tablet did relax me. And yes the numbing injections they gave me didn’t make me feel any pain. BUT I could feel all the tugging and the pressure which freaked me out as I kept thinking…”they must be doing this now because they’re working on this area” or “they must be finishing up now because the doc just asked for the fishing gut”.
By 10am I was on my way home with the sleeping tablet starting to kick in. We had to go past the pharmacy to fill out my prescription and Gary tells me that I was insistent on paying for my medication instead of letting him do the necessary. I can’t remember any of this so I’ll just have to pretend that I was in my right mind and knew exactly what I was doing (even if I had to try put my PIN number in three times because I got the numbers mixed up).
We eventually got home (it seemed to take ages at the pharmacy) and I flopped into bed and passed out cold for a good few hours. I remember waking up for a brief moment when a mother of a storm passed over, but before I knew it I was passed out again.
The next few days were painful… I had a LOT of soup because my palate was so tender from the incision, and the stitches meant I couldn’t eat anything too hot or too cold or too hard. I did go “overboard” the one day by eating spaghetti bolognaise, and although it was a great change from the soup, it wasn’t soft enough to escape my tender mouth.
So two weeks have gone by and I went for my follow up appointment today. All is healing well and now I can start brushing the front lower teeth again though I need to stay away from the gum area. And in three weeks time I’ll be back at the dentist for another follow up to make sure all has grafted correctly. Hopefully after the next appointment I’ll be able to floss and brush again like normal. And hopefully after a few months the “crevice” in my palate will regenerate to what it was so I don’t have to fish food out with my tongue.
PS Thanks to everyone who sent me good luck and positive thoughts!
