As we get closer to the date (117 days to go!) more and more details need to be sorted out, and fine tuned later.
We survived the dive course and on the ANZAC day long weekend we went for three dives at Shelly Beach. Saw Wobbigongs and Dusky Whaler Sharks, blue gropers and heaps of other fish. Before diving we bought a digital camera and underwater housing so that we can capture images of what we see in Sydney, and when we go on the honeymoon!
We did a night dive on Wednesday 27 April. Saw Port Jackson sharks and a huge porcepine fish, hermit crabs and shrimp. The camera doesn't work so well at night, being so dark!
After the night dive, Daniel got a cold and is still trying to shake it.
But the two days off that he had enabled him to go through the possible readings for the wedding. Not liking any of those in the wedding book, he went through the entire bible and finally found two! Still have to find a psalm and gospel reading, then there is music!
Helen went looking at dresses with two friends on Saturday morning. They were able to narrow it down to two and on Sunday Helen chose one and got them to put it aside today.
On Sunday we went looking for wedding rings. Daniel has never worn a ring before and so it felt wierd putting one on. Engraved rings may look nice now (because they're different) that will probably fade in the years to come. Nothing beats a classic! We've decided to get similiar rings and are waiting on details of how much they want to make these rings for us.
We then looked at something different for table decorations. As long as we can get the store to order in a number of these things, we should have an interesting centre piece on each of the tables at the reception!
And finally, on Sunday afternoon Geoff Shalala came around with his photo albums for us to look at. Some nice photos, but of course, Daniel is critical of some photos [I'm critical of my own, why not others!?] Now we just need to see what others would charge and for what.
117 days to go!
