Rest of the Weekend, Finally, And More

So, where were we?

On Saturday Kel had the first of her Hens' gatherings. It was a lingerie party. We want you all to stop worrying-- she did buy some appropriate attire for the honeymoon. (Scott hopes she did anyway.)

Scott and his father were obviously kicked out of the house for the duration and went and saw a movie. A suitably manly movie-- Transformers. Well, okay, suitable if you were growing up in the eighties and like cheesy action movies.

After that there was a BBQ.

Two weekends ago...

That was the Mediaeval Festival up near Caboolture. We spent several hours wandering around looking at, but not buying, swords, armour, jewelry and various handcrafts. We watched some half naked, oiled-up men wrestling for a while. And some other men hit each other with swords. We watched gypsies and middle eastern dancers. (Women this time.) The food was pretty good and reasonably cheap. We also saw Lee, Kelly's brother, who was an official photographer at the event. And before we went home, we went and saw the stained glass collection in the Abbey Church

Then last weekend (I wish people would update their blog more regularly) Kel's parents came over for lunch and to work out a bit of an itinerary for the wedding day. After many hours and surprisingly little fisticuffs we came up with a plan of sorts that has already changed slightly.

Which brings us to this week...

Firstly, we own a house. As of 3pm on Thursday, we own a house in Nanango. Woo hoo. Now we owe... lots. D'oh. Everything went through. We have tenants for six months. And we can't wait to move up there ourselves after that.

But there is a wedding to get thorough first. Yesterday, Kel took (Junior Bridesmaid) Sheridan for her first dress fitting. Apparently that went great. Kel loves the dress (Sheridan's opinion doesn't really matter at this stage-- though she did like it too, which is nice). Then she went to see the woman about the flowers. There have been some last minute (okay, last month) changes to the bouquet configurations but on the whole they are looking fabulous.

And finally, half an hour ago, we got back from the latest, and final, hair trial. The kinks have been sorted out and Kelly is very happy with the changes.

We have also worked out the seating plan for the reception. Almost. There will be a few surprises there, but we want to keep that a secret until the night. Let's just say it will keep everyone on their toes. Don't you love surprises?

That wraps it up for this episode. We will try to be less tardy with our posting in the future.

Weekend Updates

The weekend was crazy-busy for us. It was all systems go from Friday night, with Scott's parents heading down to come and look at the hall with us. Scott went to the hall straight from work, while Kelly met both sets of parents at the flat and they all made their way to the hall together.

Once at the hall, we started by setting up a couple of tables in the general way we wanted them. Just to get an idea. This didn't work so well for Kelly, who insisted on setting up all of them. Just to be sure. It turns out that this wasn't such a bad idea as we had to try three layouts before we agreed on the final one. But rest assured, it's all under control now. No, really.

After this, talk turned to decorations and the setting up of cake tables and other such issues. All in all, we identified exactly how unorganised we are. Excellent.

Hunger pangs eventually got us moving again and we headed out to the Point to get fish and chips to eat under the lighthouse. This was almost a disaster. There was no light anywhere near the lighthouse (or any tables for that matter) and it was rather cold, not to mention the wind. We ended up eating in the car, and as we didn't all fit in one car, this left conversation a little difficult. But the fish and chips were great.

At this point we're going to leave you in suspense (oh, how will you sleep?), wondering what happened during the rest of the weekend. Which is code for: "We're tired and can't be bothered writing anymore tonight".
