Flowergirl's daughters wedding.

[Flowergirl]

Well - the countdown is on. Five more sleeps. I am so excited and will probably bore you all to tears - but in a few years to come ( and you'll be suprised how quickly it happens) it'll be your kids getting married and you'll understand the excitement!!
I went through last week saying I don't want her to get married. I really hated that she would be Rhy's wife instead of my daughter - when of course she can be both.
Now - I am just so excited. They are just perfect for each other - have been together since Year 12 - and knew within a month of going out that they would eventually marry. I knew within a week. And seeing that John and I knew the first night we met that we would marry - well just goes to show there is such a thing as love at first sight.:smt060
The only problem is the weather - 17 and showers. Can you please send some sunshine down for her special day. ;)

They are getting married at a little winery in the Yarra Valley - about an hour from Melbourne. Small wedding - 70 guests. Should be fun.

[PeteyD]

Enjoy it. My daughter is never getting married ;)

[Jarro]

All the best for the wedding Reenie.

My little sister got married at Stradbroke island the weekend just gone ...... plenty of crap weather leading up to it, fine and beautiful on the Saturday, crappy and windy again now.

Miracles do happen ;)

[PeteyD]

Bloke I Played golf with on Sat morning was going to a wedding on Stradbroke ...

If your daughter looks anything like you Reenie, then I am sure she will look absolutely stunning.

[PeteyD]

1 post out of 1900 does not make him nice ;)

ooohh, you were the pricks that took up all the parking spots when all I wanted to do was get a beer at the surf club! Shame on you! ;)

[amanda]

FG - hope she has a great day - I've seen some fantastic wedding photos with overcast stormy skies (though of course I hope it's fine!)

And make sure you post some pics here!

Are you giving a speech at the reception?

[Jarro]

Yeah mate we had all the car parks :)

Reception was in a huge tent up on top of the hill ... great spot 8)

John is giving the "Father of the Bride" speech - which I wrote;) I'm doing a reading at the service.
And I will be posting photos as soon as I figure out how to!!

[haysey]

Enjoy it. My daughter is never getting married ;)


Seconded:D


like I get a choice:(



Have fun Flowergirl, everything will go great:mrgreen:

[razaar]

Flowergirl...the brides parents mostly always gain a son; husbands, for some reason, tend to have more interaction with their in-laws than their birth parents after they get married. Another male to train, my girl. :)

[damoocow]

Reenie - hope you all have a great day - has John been rehearsing?.....

[Jono]

Small wedding - 70 guests. Should be fun.

Small weddings are more fun, I reckon. 8)

[Iain]

Best of luck Reenie!! I'm sure the weather will co-operate....

[Flowergirl]

4 more sleeps now. :)

[Flowergirl]

Reenie - hope you all have a great day - has John been rehearsing?.....

Yes - but he keeps getting teary - he's such a sook - that's why I love him.:smt060

[chappy1970]

Rennie, I hope the day is a special one for your daughter as well as Johnny boy and yourself.

[Eag's]

Good luck with it all FG, I hope the weather is better for you than what we are getting at the moment.

[oobsadd2]

My daughter is 13 and the most special person to me. Spose ill have to learn how to share. I hope weddings are a long way in the future for me.
You sound like you are primed and ready. Hope you and your family have a super day.

[andigold]

Good Luck Reenie & John, hope it all goes well.

I just had my son, Matt, turn 18 last week with his party Saturday night. I too was a little nervous before the party but for different reasons. :)

It went beautifully though with even the weather cooperatiing with us. There was only 1 kid who spewed and that was Matt. No fights, no gatecrashers, no dramas at all.

Phew!

[Flowergirl]

Here's hoping that Stacey doesn't spew.:shock::mrgreen:

[Courty]

Congrats to Stacey & Rhys, and you & Johnny Boy. Hope the weather is fine & all goes smoothly on the big day.

[mike]

Don't worry too much about the weather Reenie. On my wedding day it absolutely pissed down rain and I've been blessed with the happiest marriage imaginable.

Small weddings are the best. So much more personal. I've been to some big Italian weddings up here ( 300 - 350 ) where the bride has told me she didn't even know half the people there.

Have fun.

[Grunt]

When we got married in Maui the Minister was worried about the impending storm off the coast interrupting the wedding only to say that if it does rain on your wedding day it is good luck. It rained on the limo ride back to the Hotel. Has been pretty good since that day.

[Flowergirl]

Forecast update - 14 degrees - rain - possible thunderstorms, gael force wind and hail. :shock:
Well at least it couldn't get much worse.:mrgreen:

Just spoke to Stacey and Rhys and they couldn't care less. They looked like children on Xmas eve - bright eyed and big grins. If they don't care about the weather neither do I.

Two more sleeps.:smt038

[swanny]

looking forward to all the pics Reenie, best wishes to all

[haysey]

Have fun.


Had 260 people at my wedding and I would have been lucky to know 60 of them:roll:

Next time I get married it'll be a small wedding:D

[Courty]

You think you'll make it to a 2nd one? :smt108

My wedding was 90 people. 45 from my side were mostly friends. 45 from her side were all relations. :shock:

[poidda]

So you married someone with no friends? What's wrong with her? :roll: ;)

[AndyP]

Courty was all she needed.

Sometimes wishes can come true:razz:

90 people at an Italian wedding ?

Huh ?

You sure she's Italian ?

[shazza_rs]

Our guest list is sitting at about 100..... and thats pretty much all relo's, maybe 20 mates. Damn Pete and his catholic families. ;)

PS... hope the day went well Mum!

[markTHEblake]

Had 260 people at my wedding and I would have been lucky to know 60 of them:roll:

I had 800 at mine, by indonesian standards - thats a small one.....
I shook hands with every single one of them, thats the tradition.

and apart from the in-laws I kinda knew about 2 of them.

It cost $25000 and no alcohol. Ironic that both Dad and I were pissheads and we both got married at dry weddings. :-s

[Jarro]

Well, i wonder how the big event went ?

[goughy]

We had about 54 at our wedding, and only 10 at best were family. And there were probably about 10 that I met for the first time at the reception!!

Hope it's been smooth sailing FG :)

[Flowergirl]

Well what can I say!! It was the most perfect wedding ever. The bride was radiant - the dad was a sook - the groom was delighted and the mother - well it was just the happiest, proudest day of her life!!
The weather was so aweful it was good - if that makes sense. It hailed, blew a gale, thunderstorms - but really after they decided the day before to have it all inside it wasn't a problem. It cleared enough for the photos and produced some amazing light. The venue had a huge huge window that overlooked the Yarra Valley - magnificent. An eagle soared overhead as Stacey arrived - beautiful.
And she looked amazing. And so did he. They laughed and cried as they said their vows. She wiped a tear from his eye then she took his hanky and wiped one from his. It was just so full of love and emotion.
I have some lovely photos - but I have no idea how to show them to you.
They are on my computer - been able to do that much - so someone will have to hold my hand and guide me through the process.

NO apologies for this long ramble. Just to say that I just hope someday you all get to experience the wedding day of your children. Doesn't get much better than this.:smt023:smt023:smt023:smt023

[Flowergirl]

:mrgreen:Hey - how did I do that!!!!!!!!!! At least I got a photo there. Yea. I'll try for more.:mrgreen:

[Jarro]

Congrats Reenie ..... sounds like the day was sensational after all 8)

Stacey looks stunning too ... a real looker like her Mum =P~:smt023

[amanda]

[Flowergirl]

Ok - that first one was a fluke. Don't know how I did it. Help!!!

[Jarro]

[Eag's]

Glad to hear the day went off smoothly Reenie :smt023
Buy the way, your daughter is a hottie =P~

[Flowergirl]

Ummmm..... sure.:mrgreen: He is a bit taller than her. She was wearing heels. Actually they were lovely ivory Alan Pinkus sandals with little .........don't think you really want to know all the details do you?

[just]

Yes he does, he's drinking something with "fusion" in it, of course he wants all the details!

[Webster]

If her name is Stacey, doesn't that make you Staceys Mom?

[Flowergirl]

I thought I'd got away with that for all these years.:shock:

[kev]

Glad the day went well for everyone Reenie.

You can tell where Stacey gets her looks from!

[andigold]

You look as beautiful as Stacie does Reenie, the photo of Johnny boy and his daughter bought a lump to my throat. So glad it went so well.

[BrisWesty]

Where the wedding night/honeymoon pics?

Sorry Jack, you'll just have to live with the memory of Reenie displaying her undergarments at the Champs.
