Jane's wedding

Yesterday my sister Jane got married to her long time beau Michael. We started our day yesterday with getting our nails done at Garden city. Jane, Kelly and I all had pedicures and then french manicures.

After that we went back to my place and spent some time relaxing. We drank champers and had an early lunch at which point Rhyll arrived to help. Then it was time for us to get our hair done. Kel had the classic up-do, I just got mine straightened and Jane had hers put in gentle curls.

Back to my house, and I did Jane's and my makeup. Then we all poured ourselves into our dresses. All of us had pretty tight dresses that had all sorts of boning in them.

The ceremony itself was held at the Cottesloe Civic Centre which was a beautiful place. It was a little over cast, but it meant that no one was over heated. I was the first to walk up the isle which was a little nerve wracking as everyone was watching me. Camera's were going off everywhere, it made me start to get some kind of idea what it must be like to be chased by paparazzi.

Then it was time for Rhyll to do the professional wedding photos thing. I can tell ya, my face was killing me from smiling so much by the end of the photography session. I think she got some lovely shots though. She used the gorgeous pillared stairs in the garden as a back drop.

Eventually it was all done with and we piled back into the wedding cars (old Black London taxis). The reception was held back at Jane and Mike's place in Yangebup. The beer and wine flowed, and all kinds of yummy nibbles were passed around.

We then danced the rest of the night away. It was one of those great nights where everyone got up and had a dance. My mum, my Dad, my Nana, all my Aunties and cousins, not to mention all of Jane's friends.

The night finished up at around 12, and a few people came and stayed at my place. It's weird to think that my sister is now a married woman. I saw her and Mike this morning and she looks really happy as does Mike. He love my family, and said as much today. It's really nice to have him as part of the family officially now.
