Getting Married

19 December 2009: Tim and Amy get married at Simon’s Town Methodist Church

Our official photographer will be turning in her beautiful images this week, but in the meantime I thought I should get just a couple of pics from the day up! Thanks to our family and friends for capturing some truly special memories for us.

First and foremost, thank you to all our friends and family who joined us on the 19th. Your presence and presents were most appreciated!

Getting married is just about the most exciting, scary, complicated and wonderful event you’ll ever experience. The sheer number of things which need to come together on the day is quite astounding. Invites, guest list, seating plan, dress, suits, flowers, cars, pastor, mariage contract, marriage counseling, traveling friends/family, Honeymoon booking, speeches, lunch/dinner, cake, photographer, videographer, and rings – its all quite something.

As part of my commitment to Project52 – to blog once a week for the next 52 weeks – I’ll slowly be taking apart our Year 2009 and explaining how we were able to put together an amazing wedding without breaking the bank. From Engagement to Honeymoon, Amy and I will share via this category of posts the steps you can take to put together a beautiful wedding experience of your own.

Happy New Year and welcome to 2010.

Engaged

I’d like to formally announce that Amy and I are engaged, and we both couldn’t be happier!

On December 24th, 2008 I picked Amy up after work and took her to Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens for a picnic. It was perfect. I had the ring hidden safely away in a bag, a one-of-a-kind 18ct Yellow Gold and 0.56ct Diamond ring which I had only collected from the designer that morning!

We climbed a particularly beautiful rolling hill of lawn and threw a picnic blanket down. She had not idea of what was about to transpire.

Several minutes later, to the surprise of Amy and several picnic’ers who had watched me get down on one knee, I had a fiancé! I called our waiting parents who had been hiding out, awaiting our call. They brought up large amounts of Champagne and we toasted the best day of our lives thus far!

Here’s to an awesome 2009! I’ll be posting here as we plan the wedding!

Merry Christmas

Tim

Return of the Amyblog

My girlfriend, Amy, has restarted her Amyblog.net site after over a year of inactivity! So toddle over there and read what she has to say whenever you get the chance – should make interesting reading! She’s busy studying for her Bachelors Degree in Education at the moment and will be teaching a class of Fourth Graders from January 2008 – which is fantastic because she can earn money while I finish my Bachelor of Science!
It seems I have inspired some level of geekage in her: she’s running the latest Wordpress 2.3 whereas I’m more than a few builds behind still!

Nice to have you back online Amy!

Holiday 2007 confirmed!

Where is Tim off to over the June/July vacation? Well… it looks a lot like this…

Yep! Perhentian Islands just off the coast of Thailand and Malaysia baby! I can’t wait… Ten days of soaking up the sun, scuba diving, snorkelling, swimming, and sleeping.
