Mum and I… kinda spooky hey? Yes – I wore mum’s veil – this is a story in itself!
Goodbyes never get easier
The range of emotions over the past four weeks (actually make that the past 12 months!) have been a rollercoaster. Today, there is no doubt about it as a little cloud of sadness hangs over our apartment. It is always like this after goodbyes and yesterday, as I bawled my eyes out in the street…
Christmas in Brooklyn
Christmas has hit our apartment! We got back from Albany late Saturday night and spent Sunday afternoon putting up the tree and decorations. Here is our tree – It didn’t look so big in the store… oops. But it is pretty! We have had three ornaments given to us. This one ‘Our First Christmas’ was…
Some more photos!
We had a whole lot of photos taken at the church as we wanted a huge amount of family portraits as this was the one time when everyone would be together. So after that our nephew Robert, with his camera in hand, jumped in the limo with us. On our way to the reception we…

Our Nuptial Mass
Personally, I found working on the Nuptial Mass was my favourite part of the whole wedding planning. We both took this very seriously and by the time the day came around, it was exciting to see if the readings we had carefully chosen and what we envisioned would come alive as we wanted. From the…
Our wedding invitations
Note – from the very moment we got engaged we planned on ensuring that we were totally budget conscious when planning the wedding while still having a beautiful, traditional day with family and friends. This meant we did a lot of things ourselves and I shopped around for deals. Obviously, living in New York City…
Lake Placid Public Library
Of course, when you are on a honeymoon you just have to visit libraries right? Right! We had a lovely little adventure at the Lake Placid Public Library today. It is located on the main street of Lake Placid and is a gorgeous library that fits perfectly into the surrounds of the town. The catalog…
Just Married…
Wow. Wow. Wow. We are now married. I have a husband and I am a wife. It is so strange to say out loud… I am guessing I’ll get used to it soon. I still can’t believe it! If we had a dollar for every time we look at our rings and both say “Wow…
