tHe pArTy!

Photo's care of ELLEN CARMICHAEL!! Thanks heaps!


So on Saturday 26th of November we had our engagement party! We had planned to have a garden party afternoon tea in the courtyard at the Rosny Chapel, unfortunately the Hobart weather decided otherwise, so we brought the outside inside...and it was AMAZING!








Here is the man of the moment, my handsome beau ...


...and his lovely fiance...
Our MC....





Our delicious cake!!





Thanks Carmen for doing such an amazing job! It was a caramel mud cake with white chocolate ganache and it was divine! She also decorated it beautifully!








We had lots of delicious food, thanks to our family and friends for providing!






...and delicious drink!...With cool cups and straws that you could write your name on! (What a great idea!)





Esther was our party planner/creator...she is amazing!










We recieved some classic words of advice in our guest book!






Hayden loves balloons and these were his addition to the party 10 white helium balloons that said "HB & CG 4 EVA"





Here is my cheeky bestie Esther and her hubby Minol...




More besties...






The Grandmas checking what time it will all finish...(Or synchronising watches?)






More guests...












Jackson...



Mac...Olive...Time for speeches...Mum first...Obviously VERY entertaining...








Next Robbie...also very entertaining...





...and Hayden...who was very nervous but did an excellent job!



Time to cut the cake...final instructions from Rob....very serious instructions!




...but I think we managed ok...








All done! What a great afternoon!
