| At our engagement |
12 years ago I was barely 19 and super excited that I was going to be married in a few days to the boy I was besotted with since I was 15. Actually, I'm still rather besotted and he still makes me laugh.

| Hens night with my dear Amy. I was too young to even go to a bar. Haha! |
What could be better than a big party with all our friends and family? And I get to dress up! Perhaps given my age there were simply no nerves, just hours in the way of happily ever after. To be able to live with this
boy man and have a life together just seemed natural and exciting.

| Was he as excited as I was? Looks like it. |

| Just before the rain came...we all look a bit dorky here. |
Truthfully, the first year was bliss. Then life throws curveballs your way and you do a merry dance of compromise. Kids arrive, jobs change, bodies change, big decisions to make. Life goes so fast, blink and miss sometimes. Since that day in 1999 we've had 3 children, 6 cars, 1 pet, changed careers and...well actually we are still living on the same street, so we haven't travelled far! Haha! But still, we might not have travelled far in distance but the deepening of our relationship gets better with time. This man is my rock, my best friend, my strength, my practical man. Honest, real, loyal and solid. The best I could ever hope for.

@Hootnz Amy was married to Matt whose mum lives next door to your mum...I forgot that! Small world
@Weza, my wedding dress was my fairytale dress. It's a Jane Yeh and I was the youngest bride she'd ever had! I think I might still hold the record...
@Simoney & Leonie, see you later this morning. I'm off to bake a cake now ;)
