...attended the most perfectly beautiful wedding, and witnessed the marriage of two of my very favourite people, Franky and Carl, both utterly head over heels in love.
...admired the stunning bride and THAT incredible wedding dress and coat.
...been in the overwhelming presence of true, true love.
...fallen in love with the bride and groom all over again.
...admired the super cool venue, and just how well it complimented both the day and the newlyweds. It was breathtakingly beautiful weather too, crisp and frosty but with the sun shining down.
...lusted over THE Choo's!
...marvelled at what astonishingly good wedding planning skills the bride has, the attention to detail was just amazing, and portrayed the newlyweds {and their guests} perfectly.
...dabbed tears from my eyes during the hilarious but emotional, bride, groom and best man speeches.
...been blown away by the incredible photographer, Eliza Claire. I struggled to capture the true essence and beauty of the day, but I just know Eliza's photos will seriously wow you all.
...blushed when receiving complements on my pink dress.
...thoroughly enjoyed the retro Photobooth and Popcorn that arrived after the ceremony and wedding breakfast.
...shared an emotional moment or two with the bride.
...eaten like royalty, and indulged in some utterly delicious cake.
...slipped off my heels to join the bride in some riotous dancing toward the end of the evening.
...felt truly honoured not only to know and love two very special people, but to have shared in their wonderful wedding day.
...hugged the bride tightly goodbye before she and her husband bid their guests farewell and left hand in hand, with huge grins of pure elation on their faces.
...fallen into bed and reflected on what was an utterly fabulous, beautiful, and perfect day.
...realised that watching one of your best friends get married is simply one of the best feelings in the world. Seeing the new Mr & Mrs catching glimpses of each other brought a tear to my eye, it was such a great privilege to witness those moments.
Let's raise our glasses in a toast:

It was just divine. Franky was worried she'd made the wrong choice, but I think it was perfet in every way, and just suited her so very well. You would look stunning in a dress like that... xxx
