Our Plan for 'The Big Day'
Here's how we'd planned it - Click here for how the day actually unfolded.

During the Day
The Girls The Boys
  • Wake up all a flutter, Max and Hadley running around like mad things
  • Hit the hairdressers
  • A quick snack as the flowers arrive
  • Start the makeup and getting dressed process
  • Photographer arrives and starts snapping away
  • Final preparations made and the cars arrive
  • Fluff around while they should be getting in the cars
  • Arrive at the church
  • Wake up in a cold sweat - go have a big bacon filled brekkie somewhere
  • Check the suits and rings are still where they should be and all is intact
  • Have a nice calming beer in the shade somewhere
  • Go over the days proceedings
  • Jump through a shower and throw on the suits (check those rings are still there)
  • Head off to the church
  • Wait...
  • Wait... Then breathe a sigh of relief as the cars arrive outside.
