My gorgeous friend tied the knot on Saturday in a gorgeous ceremony on the boardwalk/river of the Gold Coast Botanical Gardens. It was too sweet! But Miss Waterworks (aka me) was a no show + I made it through the ceremony without making a blubbering mess of myself! Yay!
I found this vintage dress on eBay, but totally forgot to bid in time, so I emailed the seller and asked her to relist it so I could get my butt into gear. She was also selling my now favourite bag (the tan vintage satchel) which I ended up winning + I let her know once she relisted the other dress that I would pay for them both together to combine the shipping from US to me in Australia. The sweetest lady on eBay then informed me she was giving me the dress for free! Man, people like this just make you feel so much faith in the world, I mean she didn’t know me from a bar of soap! And this dress is ridiculously amazing so I cannot believe it was a freebie! I found these shoes + bag on my Saturday morning op shop spree, yay! Also rocking out some lipstick again, Revlon Red.
Back to the wedding now! The reception was awesome fun + made for a ‘feeling-pretty-sorry-for-myself-Sunday’! The dj busted out Elton John’s ‘Tiny Dancer’ and had me on the floor dancing my heart out before the ‘official’ dancing part of the night was underway. Ahh the perils/awesomeness of strawberry champagne! The lovely bride + groom had their first dance to Adam Sandler’s ‘I Wanna Grow Old With You’ from The Wedding Singer. Aww could you get any cuter!!
Had the best weekend + I hope all you lovelies did too! And big cheers to the happy newlyweds who are now honeymooning in Fiji! (And yes, I am totally jealous!)
