Seems like longer than two weeks since we got engaged! There has been a lot to think about in that time and lots of people to tell the good news.

Trying my hardest not to get too caught up in all the organisation that’s required but it is hard not to - it’s exciting as well as a little daunting. Haven’t shied away from the excitement though and all the good wishes and happiness expressed by our family and friends has been wonderful. Thanks to Mum for the lovely flowers and Fiona, Gill and a couple of other friends for the cards.
We’ve now booked the venue. It will be at the Boathouse restaurant in Noosaville.
Next job is finding a celebrant. One man we contacted is already officiating at a wedding that day at the same time. It is interesting how many of the celebrants have websites now. It is a real business! I kept thinking about Marion in Kath and Kim and diligently checked the Attorney General’s website to make sure they actually are registered.

Also need to choose the ceremony location which is planned to be outside - Mum is going to check out some of the locations. So much is available via the Internet these days - Noosa Council provides an aerial map of all the possible ceremony sites.
Our rings are on order - I am planning to only have one ring as an engagement and wedding ring. It’s a gorgeous modern design from a jewellery shop in the Dandenongs. We chose it when we were up there - I think she is a local designer - quite an impulsive buy but I really love it.
