The big day...

Our "big day" has been and gone...We have a heap of pictures, and some are below. We will post more soon, but figured that people would like to see some of the happy couple, and of the bridal party. We hope you like them... (we will post a few more later.)

So, all started well for the bride. Early up to get made up, and a lovely "hair do" - then get dressed.

After dressing everyone, a gathering for a family photo. "Girls only please..."

The kids, also looking a treat!

Preparation for the "Big Day..."

This week is a big week for the whole family. This Sunday is Tara and my wedding. Although the trip to the US forced the issue a little, it has been a long time coming. Tara and I have been together for around 5 years now, and we had the intention of taking the "step" into marriage, but never got around to it - but the US Visa process kind of meant we needed to do something about that! So here we are.

It is Tuesday of the week of the wedding, and most things are done in preparation. Only little things to sort out for the rest of the week, picking up all of the necessary items - such as the suits, the gifts to the guests, and the rehearsal on Friday.

Things on the US front have slowed a little while we enjoy the wedding, although it appears that all is well on that front also. We are ready for our Visa interview - which will now take place on the 3rd of July 2006. Once that process is complete, we are pretty much ready to get packed and go!

Well, today's post is just to let everyone know where we are at. After the wedding, we will be sure to post some photographs of the big day, and hopefully the next post will be to tell everyone that we are almost ready to get on a plane out of Melbourne and off on our adventure finally.

Not much about anything....

We have not added much to the blog lately, but today we thought we would let you all know that we are working hard on getting our details finalised for the wedding (June 18th.) Everything is under control, we have our VISA appointment on June 20th, and hopefully should be on a plane either the last week in June or 1st week in July !
