Introducing Mrs Spinks

Hi everybody it's the new Mrs Spinks!!! Still can't get used to that!!! Well the big day has come and gone, and it was perfect!!!! I could not have wished for a better wedding day. I had most of my family here with us, it was a overcast but not to cool day so everybody was comfortable and everyone looked stunning!! Here are a few photos for you to look at.

Signing the register with my sister Diane (maid of honour), who looked stunning in the skirt she made and best man Harry...



The Men in Black, Harry, my husband David, Andrew and Danny...


David and I with Samantha and Spencer...



My family, brother's Kelvin and Graham, sister-in-law Karen, my brother Darin, my sister Diane (maid of honour), mum Dorothy and my boy Spencer who did a great job as one of my attendants....




David's mum Angela, my mum Dorothy, me & David, Maree and Ray, David's dad and partner...





Me with my beautiful mum, it was an honour to have her give me away...






Our cake table, when I walked into this room and saw what Amanda at the archery Park had done I nearly cried, it was gorgeous...






Our niece Jessica (my red-haired sister!!), Samantha, and our other niece Skye...





My favourite photo of the day with my handsome husband...




It really was an amazing day and I can't believe how calm I was all the way through it, didn't even cry which surprised everyone!!! A special thanks goes out to my amazing sister-in-law Karen who did the hair of my sister Diane, my mum and then mine, and what an amazing job she did, I love my braids and the curls are spectacular, thank you Karen xxxx

We spent our wedding night at a little 100 year old cottage called Teddy bear Cottage in the Dandenong Ranges, it was an amazing place...




It had the most gorgeous four poster bed and king size spa bath, beautiful gardens and teddy bears every where. It was very hard to leave!!!!

I would just like to say thank you to my family and to David's family for all their help in making our wedding perfect. And a huge thanks to Amanda and Ian at the Archery Park in Launching Place, Victoria for the amazing job they did for our garden wedding and reception, I was overwhelmed by the beautiful job you did.

Pretties



I thought I would show you all my wedding "pretties" that is what Samantha calls them....


These are the earrings I fell in love with....







Then I found the bracelet and I made the necklace to go with it...





I wanted something a bit different and original so I added the butterfly charms. I love it.


Then I found this ring and couldn't help myself, had to get it....


I can't wait to wear them all! Only 7 days to go!!! My brother Kelvin arrives from New Zealand tomorrow, then my sister Diane in Wednesday, and finally my mum, brother Graham, brother Darin and his wife Karen arrive on Friday. I can't wait to give them all big hugs!!! I haven't seen Diane or Graham since we moved to Australia in 2005. Can't wait!!

Our Boy Is Growing Up!!!

12Days and counting!!!
Here is a photo of our Spencer in his wedding outfit...

Doesn't he look stunning!!! He doesn't know how to smile in photos! But then he wasn't happy about having to put the whole outfit on, but then after he did he said he loved the pants. He is looking forward to seeing his Nana, Auntie Diane, and his Uncles. As well as being one of my attendants at the wedding he is going to be usher, showing everyone to their seats and letting them know where everything is, he is very excited.

My nerves and stress levels go up and down all the time! Sometimes I'm so relaxed you would think it was any normal day other days I'm so stressed it's not funny! But I'm trying to take it one day at a time and to just relax. The only things left to do are buy flowers the day before the wedding and decorate the cake, everything else is bought, made or ready to go!!!
