Tiny Brides

I know Chinese girls are small (I'm the exception)
but really are they this small???

Something alarming about these photos...

A Bruno like wedding

Actually I thought the green tights were hilarious, and thought it would be fun to freak out Steph... but then I continued scrolling with horror and disbelief.
A wedding best to be forgotten

What I fear

Too much brown
Too much fish
Too much cutesy
Too much... "theme"

Solder On

Steph has turn out to be a bit of a sparkie!

He has borrowed Denzil's soldering iron and turned the replaced the amber with the white ones we bought off Ebay.

I have made heaps of errors on these and ive listed for all to see

Lesson Learnt: Amber LED doesnt mean Warm white it means BRIGHT ORANGE.
Other Lesson Learnt: Warm White LED's use a lot of battery life
Other Other Lesson Learnt: There is a price fix on Coin Cell Batteries in Australia
Other Other Other Lesson Learnt: Jay Car is a Rip-off!
Lesson Learnt from Other People: Buy Diffused LEDS or youll end up with beams of lights

30 Umbrellas Collected!

Done! after nearly 6months of collecting, I have enough umbrellas for the wedding ceremony.

These are the just in case, as its pretty miserable standing in the rain... if it rains... but of course it wont rain. its my wedding day right? *fingers crossed*

Tacky Weddings

I wont host the images here, but here is a site game enough to post photos of OTT weddings.

One reader posted a comment that when she's stress out with planning her wedding she goes to the site to have a laugh and I agree, it reassures me that I'm not going OTT.

Printing the leftovers

I reckon I have the best wedding artwork EVER! *grins broadly*

Thanks Pep!

Who has also helped me out with the signage and various other pieces of art.

But printing isn't cheap :( Even in bulk! So we are doing it the DIY.

Today I grabbed labels for the garden chairs, and the wine labels. And I found some really cute tags which are much better sized for the umbrellas. (And don't look like body tags you tie to the end of dead toes).

That means there will be STAMPING tonight!

On another thought the wine, we are only getting the red as a clean skin… And I'm REALLY glad about that! Today I realized that 6 boxes of wine means 72 bottles! And that's a lot of bottles to label!
