THIS PIC SPAM IS NOT DIAL UP FRIENDLY

[sapphire_child]

Fish Friday: so every year we go to my Nan and Pop’s to eat Fish as a family. Except my mum – she’s allergic to fish and it makes her ill. She eats chicken instead.

Mal and Aunty Maree in her wedding getup that the kids she teaches made her (she teaches kindy/pre-primary)


Me stealing a biscuit, Mal and Aunty Maree laugh it out


Awww!


Aren’t they just the sweetest thing?


The basket we decorated in preparation of the next day (it was to put gift cards and stuff in because they didn’t want people to get presents in case they ended up with like, five toasters)


Mal and Maree’s Wedding: this past Saturday just gone was BEAUTIFUL. As evidenced here by flowers…


…And more flowers…these were the buttonholes I handed out to everyone btw


Aunty Maree and Lisa’s bouquets! (Lisa is her daughter, my first cousin, and she was the flower girl)


Lisa and me do our nails…


…or rather Lisa does mine because I suck at doing my own nails


Whilst my brother Brodie eats chips…


…and Lisa’s bf Peter and Mal watch golf


Brodie’s gf, Alysha did Aunty Maree’s hair for her…


Mal, Lisa and Maree arrive!


If this hadn’t blurred, this phot would have been so pretty. Damnit!


Colin (the best man), Mal, Pop, Maree, Nan, Lisa (NB: Nan and Pop are parents to my mum and Maree who obviously, are sisters)


Lisa, glowing with happiness


Mal, Pop, Nan, Maree


Mal and Maree – all very serious


This pic totally makes me want to sing Savage Garden at the top of my lungs


Mal giving Maree her ring


Awww! Lookit her face!


Maree giving Mal his ring…


…or trying to! It wouldn’t fit at first and we all freaked out!


Mal’s daughters offer them goblets of wine (or summat like that) to seal their vows


All serious again


Maree signing the wedding documents


Mal signing the wedding documents




And Lisa signing the wedding documents!


Alysha and Brodie – if these two don’t end up getting married someday then I swear I’m going to die


Maree wasn’t sure what to do with her bouquet when she was asked to hold the wedding certificate…


…so Mal ended up hanging onto it. Clearly he has no idea what to do with it, poor man!


The newlyweds!


Peter, me and Brodie


Alysha, Lisa and me


Family shot! (some random woman, Mal’s daughters Kerry and…oh gawd I have no memory for names, Lisa, Maree, Mal, Nan, Pop)


Kerry got sum flowers! She’s a very funny woman – gotta love having insta-cousins!


My mum and dad


My bag, place setting and buttonhole. They just looked so pretty sitting there, I thought it merited a photo!


MINI CAKES. Omg they were SO yum.


Wedding cake cutting!


Lisa, me, Brodie, Alysha


And after they walked through an archway of all their guests, off they went to a hotel for the weekend!


^_________^


And then we stayed behind to pack up and Peter salvaged all of the leftover wine and went and got piss drunk. Go Peter!


There was also a beautiful moment when we were all loading the cars up with last minute things that we promised we’d take care of (i.e. eskies and crap) when it started sprinkling with rain. I absolutely love rain so I was all gleeful. Mum said it was a good omen because the first time Aunty Maree got married, my great grandma, Gar put her hex on the wedding or something because she didn’t think that he was good enough for her and it rained the entire day of the wedding. Funnily enough, he ended up cheating on her with a woman half his age and they divorced when Lisa was like, four. Thus why this wedding is so exciting and wonderful for us all – Aunty Maree has been alone for a long time. But no more! *bounces*

Camwhoring: because everyone needs to do a bit of posing from time to time!

…


*g*


*is emo*




This is my “I’m about to go kill puppies” face. Apparently.




Black nailpolish is like, so hardcore


Hey look! What’s over there? Nice shot of the parallelogram of mole/freckle things I have on my right cheek




*facepalm*


*chews nails*


*plots your demise*


Photo Meme: because you asked for it!

mistojen asked for a picture of my pets so here we have Benedict the Pink and Grey Galah…




…Grouble the Blue Heeler…


…and Sampson, my moggy


dirsi asked for a picture of my favourite part of my house and it came up to a toss up between my desk/home office space underneath my bed…


…Or my Pop’s papasan chair which is also situated in my room and is a perfect vantage point for watching TV. And yes this is the same chair my dog was lying on in the previous photo – it’s been re-covered and moved into my room


queenrebecca wanted something to do with my dancing so I thought – how about all my dancing shoes because hell, I’ve got thirteen pairs!

Top Row: pointe (or blocked) ballet shoes, demi pointe ballet shoes (halfway between pointe and normal leather ones), normal ballet shoes (leather), dance paws (for contemporary)
Middle Row: Jazz Boots (I mostly teach in these but they’re also good for what little hip-hop I do), 3x jazz shoes (I go through these like you wouldn’t believe – the first pair are my working pair, the other two are my good ones)
Bottom Row: my old tap shoes, my NEW tap shoes, my flat black’s (another type of tap shoe), canvas character shoes, grecians

lost_phantom_cc asked for my DVD collection – this is minus my Lost S2 boxed set and Finding Nemo cause my cousin has them


inevershutup09 wanted to see my house…


…and my favourite shoes. Only problem was, I couldn’t pick a favourite pair of shoes out of silver/lace Doc Marten’s that my best mate Blair/imseeinrobots gave me for my birthday last year…


…and my original Chuck Taylor’s so I put them both up her. I named them after my favourite Lost OTP – how awesomely lame am I?


lily_268 asked for some tough ones! So here’s the food I am most addicted to at the moment…


Me? A Fitness freak? Yeah whatever. And here’s the last book I read (Chamber of Secrets) and the three that I’m reading simultaneously atm. (All Hp fans who haven’t joined read_hp go do it now – doooooo it)


And something that reminds me of kilts! This is a sample of my Scottish clan’s (Forsyth) tartan.


Jewellery Cabinet: this now sits in my room under my window and between my old desk-turned chest of drawers and my dressing table and believe it or not – I’ve actually filled it up already *facepalm* I own WAY too many shiny things.

[sapphire-child.livejournal.com]

It has! Haha, sexy Ellin? You're going to give me a swollen head! *grins*

Lmao. I wish you could've been there for the wedding too - when AUnty Maree asked me months ago if Iwanted to take anyone I was like "well...Blair but she's on the other side of the country lol". I totally would've invited you if you'd been over here.

Much love darling

[lost-phantom-cc.livejournal.com]

Awww, everyone looked so happy at the wedding ceremony! And youse is a super fox! =p

Your DVD collection is totally badass, as is the fact that you named your shoes after Charlie and Claire. I think that's the best idea ever. I wish I'd thought of it first!

Can I steal this meme? It looks like fun. =)

[sapphire-child.livejournal.com]

It's just been a long time coming and we were all so excited and happy ^_^ and a super fox? Huzzah! =D

Hell yes. I just realised that my brother's got a few of my DVD's as well so it's even bigger than this =P omg yes, those shoes have been Charlie and Claire since...season one it must've been. Cause I got them in mid/late 2004 I think...which is just before Lost premiered over here. Look - I even icconed my Chuck's!

Of course you can steal it! ^_^

[noblealice.livejournal.com]

*g* Sorry for making it so difficult, I just wanted to ask for something original!
You are so cute! I love the 'plotting your demise' picture. Very sultry!
Also, your family is so sweet and nice. I'm so happy for them and it looks like everyone had a good time.

[sapphire-child.livejournal.com]

And original they were! I loled when I read the kilt one.

Haha, I am just too sexy lol.

Well I like them so ^_^ yeah. We did have a good time - it was just one of those perfect events you know? Where everything turned out great. Life could always do with more of those.

[inevershutup09.livejournal.com]

Your eyes are a pretty color.

YAY for converses, they pwn. They're my favorite pair of shoes too, but mine are black.

And rofl, stealing a BIKKIE?

[sapphire-child.livejournal.com]

...blue?

They do. I have three pairs now, pink, orange and red ^_^

LMFAO! Omg you're right, I did steal a bikkie! *loses it*

[inevershutup09.livejournal.com]

Rofl, yeah. But a pretty shade of blue. They just looked really bright when you were camwhoring.

Ooh, red. Nice. I like them better when they're old and worn in, I don't know why.

*gasp* You LOST the bikkie? =O =O =O

[sapphire-child.livejournal.com]

Oh. Okay then X3

I agree. My orange and red ones are practically brand new so I need to scuff them up a bit!

What? No no no, I meant I was "losing it", as in "losing control because I was laughing so hard" *is an idiot and should have just put a lol or lmao instead*

*facepalm*

[inevershutup09.livejournal.com]

Stealing this meme btw. Wanna reply for me? ;D

Go "trip". That's the best way to scuff them up.

Ooh! rofl I'm running off little sleep so, I've been a little slow all week.

[sapphire-child.livejournal.com]

Most certainly!

Lmao. I shall have to do that methinks.

Awww *squish*
