Well there’s exactly a week until Abbey’s wedding. I can’t quite believe it’s come up so fast. I still find things in my travels I want to drop Abbey in an email and realise she’s probably sorted that bit out by now!

In August 2006 on a bended knee, Abbey’s fiance proposed to her on the grounds of where their new house was to be built.

Now over a year later, with a new house and an exciting new adventure to be undertaken, in just over a week two very special people will tie the knot.

Abbey’s wedding planning experience has been pretty typical of many I’ve witnessed since I got into weddings. A roller coaster ride of emotions with many smiles and tears along the way.

What started as a spring country wedding idea grew and morphed into all kinds of directions. But I think it’s safe to say it reflects Abbey and her fiance and the people they are today. An element of orange (or tangerine as Abbey likes to call it!) was added into the mix which has added a vibrancy to her original palette of brown and green. Watering cans, herbs and ladybugs have all become special touches that tie into the beautiful homestead and country church.

Hopefully Abbey will allow me to share photos of her special day next week. But until then I want to wish Abbey and her fiance a very big GOOD LUCK and CONGRATULATIONS on their special day. I hope it brings them both a lot of joy and a great start to their life together.
