Some people make your laugh a little louder, your smile a little brighter, and your life a little better..

I should probably tell you that I'm engaged.. (to my best friend, soulmate and lover).
We have approximately 45 days until the wedding and they're flying away and passing us before we realise it.

In anticipation of our wedding, and my committment to the most amazing person I know, it was my Kitchen Tea on Saturday. With my family and my closest friends, we celebrated in style with champagne, cakes, rice paper rolls, doughnuts, cupcakes and more..

Pete and I have been living together for 5 years now, so the tradition of giving us gifts for our home wasn't really suitable, or necessary. We are so thankful for everyone's generosity with engagement gifts as well, so spending money was the last thing we wanted people to do.

Instead, we requested people bring their favourite recipe along to be added to our Recipe book. There is no such thing as too many recipes, and it means that the girls would be contributing not just to our kitchen or house, but to our family meals as well; a time where we will sit down with our children (which we do not have yet!) and discuss their school friends and favourite games.

I'm so appreciative of all the love and laughter the girls expressed on the day, and of the dishes they provided for us to enjoy!

Even though these have already been published on facebook, I thought they were worthy of a blog post here too.
Thank you again to my beautiful company <3
