Last week we went to our friends, Hannah and Tristan's wedding. Their ceremony was at Trinity Chapel at Trinity Grammar School and the reception was at The Grounds.
The whole thing was beautiful. I felt so privileged to be able to be a bridesmaid. It was such a special day.
The rest of the week included catching up with some friends for dinner, and lots of looking forward to the weekend so we could catch up on sleep.
This weekend we went for a bush walk with the above newly married couple in the Royal National Park. The weather was perfect. We spent the first hour or so walking about and exploring the creek, and then stopped for a picnic on a rock at Winifred Falls (first photo below).
We definitely plan on making it a semi regular event. It was so nice to get out about in the sunshine and take Ben to some places he hasn't been before. He even worked up the courage to jump off Wattamolla rocks! The jump looks fairly tame from the side, but is about 10-12 metres and much more scarier when you're about to throw yourself off.
Today we were able to finally use one our Christmas presents from my parents - brunch with champagne on a tall ship! The weather, much like yesterday was amazing! We boarded at Campbell's Cove in The Rocks and made a 2 hour loop of the harbour whilst being served canapés and alcoholic beverages. We didn't opt to climb the mast of the ship, but if you're a little adventurous then it's definitely something you should do.
On the wedding front, we finally decided on transportation this week and make a deposit on an old school limo for the day. We also started dance lessons with my cousin who is a ballroom dance teacher. We decided we would leave ourselves lots of time to become rumba maestros!
We've done other little bits and pieces like choose our menu options and do a rough seating plan, but can' definitely be ticked off for a while yet.
Next on the agenda is bonboneries (wedding favours) and invitations! I've been doing some creative investigation this week to get a better idea of what style we want for everything that needs to be printed (invitations, order of service, place names, menus etc). I think I've almost decided on a colour scheme. I will be running through all my ideas with my friend Laura who is kindly doing the invitations for us in the near future. Getting things organised sooner rather than later is better in my opinion!
Apart from work this week, we have absolutely nothing planned next weekend - the first in a while for us! I'm hoping it stays that way... I'm looking forward to a bit of R and R!
