We were up early Saturday morning to set up and decorate the reception. The girls went off to the hairdressers to get their hair done, then back home for makeup and to get dressed. Cathie & Kylie turned up just after noon to set up for the photos. Lots of photos taken of Katie, bridesmaids, flowergirls, mum and Cohan.
The limo arrived and then we all went off to the church. Mum walked Katie down the aisle, where James was holding Cohan and waiting for her. I admit I started to get emotional watching my beautiful little sister walking down the aisle. Mum and Cohan gave the bride away. The ceremony went off without a hitch - except for Katie starting to really sob during her vows. Mum and I couldn't believe it when she pulled a tissue (yep a tissue, not a lovely handkerchief) out of her bra to wipe her eyes and blow her nose, then we were even more amazed when she stuffed / jammed the tissue back down her bra!! What a dag!! LOL The kiss, signing of the register, family photos outside the church, then the bridal party headed over to the Botanic Gardens for more pictures.
There were lots of fun photos taken of all the bridal party at the park. Katie & James went off with Cathie & Kylie to the Rum Distillery and some historical buildings around Bundaberg for a more photos.
The reception was nice and relaxed. The meal was nice, except the kitchen didn't end up cooking veges or putting out bread rolls?!?! Speeches were short and sweet - once again Katie started sobbing during her speech! I didn't realise how emotional she can be!! LOL Katie & James had the bridal waltz (I'm pleased to say all my songs went well - all the practice I put in really paid off). Cut the cake, bouquet toss, garter toss, then down to socialising and dancing the night away!

The Bridal Party
I will probably add more pics and memories over the next couple of days. It has just been so hectic for the last month, that my frazzled brain is still trying to catch up!! :o)
