Moving along!

Well, I've had a few weeks break from wedding preparations while Shane and I have been getting house stuff organised. We just bought a house! It's so exciting. Massive mortgage, but exciting all the same!

For those who are interested, here's a picture of the pretty house. We're exchanging contracts next week. So excited!

 

Now that the house hunting is over, it's back to the wedding planning. Yay!

Last Saturday, we had our engagement party, and one of my wonderful friends, Michelle, agreed to be the designated photographer for the evening, which was really great. You never get the chance to take photos at your own party!

For some it was a time to practice poses for facebook photos

For others it was a chance to get deep and meaningful with their discussions

But regardless we all had a whale of a time

 

and ate lots of cake

 (my mum made that!!!)

My dad made a fantastic speach, where he compared Shane to a bunny rabbit. In context it's not really as bad as it sounds. I promise!

Then there was cake!

And we got made to pose for a kiss after it. 

I tried so hard not to laugh, but I couldn't help it!

So, there's a quick overview of the engagement party. I've got lots more photos, so anyone who would like to see them, let me know! And a big thank you to everyone who came and helped to make the night so special for us both! And to both our parents who helped organise it all and threw a wonderful party for us. We love you!

Now it's back to looking at reception venues, and today we're off to visit a place called Grazing for lunch, to see what it's like.

Till next time.
