Since I have been so busy the last month I thought we could sit down have a cup of tea and catch up a bit!  The Thursday before my wedding, my now beloved in-laws held a party at their rented vacation house on a huge lake!

  Roland and I went over a few times for dinner and just to spend time with his family, but this party was the first time for our familys and friends to meet. I was a bit nervous, but everyone seemed to really have a great time! I know Roland's mother just loved having everyone together.

There were grilled goodness and salads and a magnificent pavlova! Sorry I didn't get a picture of it, but it was heavenly!

The guys flocked around the grill, as they tend to, but isn't Roland looking handsome in his suit!

My wonderful bridesmaids were there and looking great!

They all seemed to be in yellow!  Strangely enough my brother, and Roland's sister also wore yellow, how curious!

My sister was so cute!  She just shined! I love her so much, this is a true Vickie smile, she doesn't like her real smile but to me there is nothing more beautiful!

My sweetest friend. I was a bit worried about. She is hilarious and a joy to be around, but sometimes the things that come out of her mouth can be jarring to the brain.  I love her so much and she was perfect and beautiful! She's been trying to lose weight for the wedding and she really did a great job! Follow her and her journey! Click here!

It was a wonderful meet and greet and I give them a big thanks and a big warm hug! We miss you guys so much!

 Married life is pretty great! Roland is super sweet and I am happy, he is happy, our cats are happy.

Life is good

Muwah!
