We attended the sweetest wedding in Sydney today, of two lovely friends joining together in love and life... Dan and Tabitha. Tabitha is a
graphic designer with amazing talents and a love of vintage which the wedding sure showcased in all its glory - romantic, whimsical, quaint and beautiful with so many special touches! The love story and uniting faith of this gorgeous couple made it a day we were sooooo excited to celebrate with them! They are going to have such a beautiful and inspiring life together... so happy for them!

The Great Hall at Sydney University was a stunning and very formal ceremony venue...
Keeping the kids contained in their seats and quiet while we waited 40 minutes for the bride to arrive was.... challenging... to say the least! Not to mention getting through the ceremony too! (Did I mention it was in the middle of naptime?) But we made it, and it was an honour to see the bride and groom wed in such a gorgeous location, with so much love, faith and romance emanating through the hall...

It was also the first time my two kiddies met their three sweet cousins, the triplets! As many other people were meeting them too and it was all a bit rushed, what with people getting married and so on, it wasn't a big emotional meeting but we have plenty of time for that in the coming week! Nevertheless, Lily was so excited, saying '
I love my little cousins' and both kids loved staring at them, tickling, cuddling etc.

After the ceremony, the kiddies were looked after for the evening by 'Auntie JoJo' (having the time of their lives, I might add!) which meant Mark and I got to have a 'date night' of attending the reception together sans kids. It was a beautiful evening of delicious food, gorgeous decorations, catching up with heaps of dear friends, listening to speeches that were both hilarious and touching, dancing and of course - celebrating this beautiful union!

So many lovely photos, Kate! I enjoyed them all but there's something special about the one of Lily looking down at Eli in the doorway and the one of you walking with your two little loves. Both are very sweet and touching.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing cake. I love it!

First up, you look sensational girlfriend! Love the print on the dress and the cut suits you for sure!
ReplyDeleteLooks like it was a lovely wedding. Eeeek to the waiting in the church with two kids. That would have really poushed their patience boundaries ;)
Love all the beautiful details in your friend's wedding :)
