Self-Portrait 2011 : Mrs Fourie

And they said it wouldn’t work...

Before our wedding, I searched high and low for a wedding scrapbook I liked.
I had an idea that I thought would be awesome, but I needed just the right book for it. Every time I asked a scrapbooking shop if they had wedding scrapbooks they asked me what I wanted to use it for. After explaining they’d reply “Oh no dear, people don’t usually do that... They usually...” The most common “They usually” was that they buy a black paper book and have people write with milky pens. No thanks, not for me...

So what was the idea...?
Well I figured that most people have a guest book that gets signed and most people never look at it again after the wedding. I decided to combine my love for scrapbooking and photos and have the guests make a guest book that I’d WANT to put on display (plus it gave the guests something to do while we were off having our photos taken)

Here are some photos of our guest book table
And here’s 2 photos of my flower girls doing their thing at the guest book table...And here is the end result...

So here’s to ignoring what people say you shouldn’t do, not doing things the way you “should” do them, and ending up with something you love!
Thank you to all our wonderfully creative guests for making us such a special reminder of our wedding day!

Time flies when you're having fun...

Today we have been married for 5 months! That's crazy! It feels like just a few weeks ago that I was waking up at 3am and too excited to get back to sleep!

We have had 5 AMAZING months! I can honestly say that I love being married! I love waking up next to him and falling asleep in his arms, I love looking over when I'm reading in bed and seeing him next to me, and even when I'm doing my own thing, it's nice to know he's right in the next room. 

Here's looking forward to the next 5 centuries...

Spring | A season of change

If you’re going through difficult times today, hold steady. It will change soon. If you are experiencing smooth sailing and easy times now, brace yourself. It will change soon. The only thing you can be certain of is change.
