The Wedding

On the 9th May 1999 we had our wedding, 3 years to the day we met.  We worked for 12 months organising the perfect day, we selected everything together (except the dress!)

The girls

We had our ceremony at Sacred Heart Church Paddington, its only a few streets from our home and is a beautiful old church with the most amazing stained glass windows.  My dress was by Airs & Graces and was the first dress I ever tried on.  The thing I remember most is seeing Leigh waiting for me at the end of the aisle, it was only a day since I had seen him but since we were never apart it seemed like forever.

The bridal party

  The ceremony flew by then it was off for photos then on to our reception.  The reception was held at a restaurant on the Brisbane river called Oxleys, the room is all glass windows to the floor so you can see the lovely view.  Everything went perfectly from the food, to cutting the cake to the first dance. Next it was time to say our goodbyes and we made our exit via watertaxi. We had a magical day with our family & friends and all our work & planning was well worth it, best of all we were now husband & wife!  We were both too excited to sleep that night and spent hours talking about our day.
