Be like Auntie Marie.... hide a bag of icing behin

Be like Auntie Marie.... hide a bag of icing behind your coat so the Bride doesn't know the cakes had a mini disaster on-route!

I made my cakes and you may have heard me say many time it caused a fair bit of sleepless nights, recipe tests and finally the icing - I was only brave enough for ready roll white icing.

Little did I realise when you stack two cakes on top of one another, the bottom will surely suffer a mishap. That's when your extended Bride Squad come to the rescue without you even knowing.

My Mother in Law got in touch with my Auntie to pick up a box of icing sugar and SMUGGLE it past me the day before our Wedding. What legends!

Who is/was in your extend Bride Squad that's an absolute Diamond??

Big shout out to my Auntie Marie in Heaven...gone but certainly not forgotten :)

We called this the Paper Twitters 😂 those luggage tags took approximately 5 billion years to print (see my post about our screenprinting misadventures) but worth it.

Every year those little birds grace our Christmas Tree and it takes me right back to our day over and over again.

What momento from your day is now in regular use?

I know...not even remotely Wedding related but I must admit how much growing some of our own veg with our Toddler has helped during these very strange times.

The little one and I regularly check on our produce and he's sooooo proud of his peas he runs up the garden and into the house to show James as soon as we pick them.

It's the little things in life...the rainbows after the storm.

What's made you smile this week so far?

“I have crossed oceans of time to find you.”― Bram Stoker, Dracula

Dreaming of our trip to Transylvania at the moment. Such an amazing Country. We obviously had to visit Bran Castle!

Contrary to popular belief Count Dracula (or Vlad the Impaler) did not live here....he may have spent ONE night here! 😱 It's a national treasure and a wealth of interesting (non-vampyric) history!

Romania was a very interesting and budget friendly country - perfect for a budget honeymoon or minimoon

What's on your travel bucket list?

We're on a Francis Ford Coppola mission at the moment. It's the first time we've watched The Godfather (pt 1&2 so far) 😱

Loving them BUT.... we've watched Zootroplis far too many times with our little man and CANNOT get Mr Big and his Skunk Butt Rug out of my head 😂😂

Please tell me I'm not alone in that?!

Movie recommendations always welcome 🙌

Once Upon a Time there was a Girl and a Boy...born

Once Upon a Time there was a Girl and a Boy...born two years and many miles apart. Their birthdays within days of each other. It was fate that brought them together.

They would meet and have wild adventures across the Globe and up and down the Country. Some years later their team became a 3 and it just gets better and better!

Happy Birthday Month to us :)
