Alan, our videographer came over this afternoon to hand-deliver our finished wedding DVD. I watched the highlights montage, and cried. The day was beautifully captured. It’s wonderful to see our guests in motion, the swaying of fresh glorious blooms, hearing the sounds of laughter and excitement, and listening again to the vows that Gavin and I exchanged. I already know, that this, along with our precious photographs will be cherished momentos now and in the days to come, reminding us of one of the most important days in our lives. We have also received our proofbook from Warrick, along with a highlights video of our wedding photographs, and we are absolutely mesmerised. One cannot stress enough the depth of trust we place upon the people who will be your eyes on the day, who will capture that which is in your heart and mind onto priceless photographs and moving visuals.
In another very positive announcement, I received my invitation to become a member of the Golden Key International Honour Society, an international organisation that recognises the high academic achievement of the top 15 percent of students across all qualifications at their university. This invitation has been extended to me for my academic results in my Masters of Marketing (International Marketing) degree, for which I commenced in early-2008, around the same time I began preparing for the wedding. There were certainly times when it seemed near impossible to plan and host the greatest party of your life, whilst concurrently studying endless hours toward a career change. I feel encouraged, and hope this is motivation enough to see me through my current and final semester. Get this ~ Bill Clinton is a Golden Key honorary member!
While your thank-you cards are being especially prepared, Gavin and I cannot wait to thank our beautiful guests for your kind and most generous gifts. Through all of you, our dream of a honeymoon in Europe will be fulfilled this July, and we truly thank you all!
Also in progress is the search for a suitable website to host our unofficial wedding photographs. Facebook is but so convenient, however, we hoped to offer our photographs the same attention that we offered to the telling of the story of our romance, our wedding, and our future together. So please bear with us….
With little time for the next 13 weeks, I hope to post little short notes here of little announcements or stories as they come to be. If anyone else thinks this is a good idea, please leave us a message to say ~ yay!
