I was flicking through some photos on my camera when I came across this pic my hubby took about a month or 2 ago. It was White Night in Melbourne and I still remember the night vividly. My girlfriends had planned to go but I declined. Instead, J and I were sitting in our living room on our recently purchased and extremely comfortable couch, wearing our extremely comfortable pjs drinking hot milo. We were watching back to back episodes of Suits, living vicariously through Harvey Specter. I knew J really wanted to go to White Night but somewhere between my hives and My Kitchen Rules becoming the highlight of my day, I had become a homebody.

There’s one thing I forgot to add to my 2013 list. I organised a surprise 30th birthday party for J a week before our wedding. I think I was already on auto pilot at that stage and feeling a little mental. Thankfully Cumulus Inc took care of everything and the service was just superb. Their function room was a little art gallery just right next to the restaurant and it was the perfect venue for the party of about 30 guests. The table arrangements, menu and drinks were all taken care of. I also hired a jazz trio (Downtime Jazz) to play some contemporary tunes during pre dinner drinks. They were fabulous!

I want to say a big big big thank you to all my beautiful bridesmaids for organising this amazing surprise bridal shower for me! The party started the day before with the girls taking me to crown Metropol for a night where I saw Manu! But again, we played the cool fan and didn’t ask for a photo. Regretful!
I am just so touched my girlies put so much effort into throwing me this classy and elegant bridal shower. They hired tables, chairs, vintage cutlery and I can just imagine what a nightmare it would be transporting all the items. The food was also amazing! We had savoury finger food like mini peking duck wraps and a thousand other things I don’t even know the name of. My beautiful bridesmaids and one of my bridesmaid’s mum also made tira misu, chocolate brownies and macrons! The beautiful decorations was also handmade by my bridesmaids.
We played games and mind you I was so bad at the games I had to drink about 10 shots of champagne. I think they set me out to fail! We also played pass the parcel – which I haven’t played since primary school and it was just SO much fun. Oh, and one last thing I LOVED the teapot cake!
I can’t believe I’m getting married THIS Sunday! I’m so stressed out!
