Brunch. Fire. Teeth. Speech.

Now that the wedding is over and done with, I need to turn my attention to Fiji. We still have not booked any accommodation yet, flights only. We are not going until November, which sounds ages away but is in less than 2 months!!

I can’t believe how exhausted I have been the last few days. No matter how much rest I get, I am still dead tired. I am struggling to keep my eyes open as I type this.

I figure that I am so tired because I was running on adrenalin and stress in the lead up the wedding, and now my body is crashing and burning.

Remember how nervous I was about my speech? I think S was more nervous, he got a blood nose before his. I chose to do my speech whilst standing at the bridal table, rather than at the lectern where everyone else did theirs.
I was nervous, but I soldiered on.
I covered the important stuff – the thank you messages, and then moved on to how I met S, the gift he bought me after our first argument (a magic 8 ball which answered ‘No’ to my question of whether we would get married), the proposal, and then I said some vows as we did not get to have vows as part of our ceremony.

I got rather choked up during the vows part, and had to swallow back the tears. After my speech, I was told that I had lots of people crying – go me!!




S has requested that I repeat it weekly.

Here is a sneak peak of my speech..








How awesome is this tea cup and saucer that they have at Miss Fox?



You have already seen this Review dress in the photos from my pre-wedding dinner, and I love it. I really need to buy some full length slips as wrap dresses always seem to blow open and reveal my hoohah to the world. Sorry world.



Today I am wearing my favorite Spring dress. It just makes me happy. It's by Basque.



After reading the VF thread on “How to avoid the cookie jar at work” I was thinking about just how many I eat a week. I can’t resist them. Sometimes I make hot chocolates just to dip the cookies into it. Yummo. If it’s not the cookie jar then it’s the salted cashew nuts tub.

Ive been trying to substitute the biscuit tin with Madame Flavour Green, Jasmine & Pear Tea today and so far so good.


I always brush my teeth after lunch, and that usually acts as a eating machine deterrent. At least until the minty freshness wears off which coincides with the 3:00 munchies.


How crazy is this photo? I caught my ring glistening in the sun yesterday and took a photo. I know that my engagement ring has a faint blue fluorescence but I have no idea where this crazy green fire came from. Perhaps my wedders? Anyway, I love it!!! Sparkle on little one, sparkle on.





On Sunday after the wedding S and I went to a little café on Bourke Street for a big breakfast as we slept through the breakfast at The Hotel Windsor.
I was famished. After being on Lite n Easy for 2 weeks, this was right up my alley.


I had a strawberry smoothie after being disappointed that the banana smoothie was taken off the menu. I haven’t bought a banana for ages, I’m not a millionaire you know.
I do enjoy eating the bananas at dads house every time I randomly pop in though.

S asked me to make banana bread a few weeks a go and I asked him if he was ready to mortgage the house for one. He wasn’t.

He has also already nearly lost his wedding ring. At the café (less than 24 hours after getting the ring) he was spinning it on the table and it rolled off and kept on spinning around the floor. I think he needs some back up rings kept in a drawer, who knows how long this one will last.






OH yeah. This is what I'm talking about.


I swapped S the baked beans for his 2 hash browns and it was a perfect breakfast.

Look away if you hate teeth/mouths/gums/me.

This is what my teeth looked like up until 2002. When my friends found out I was getting braces they all said "Leave your teeth as they are!! They are so cute!". Talk about trying to sabotarge me!



I looked like Jaws.



Excuse me whilst I shudder in disgust.







My teeth on Friday 13 May. I have had my braces off for 7.5 years.




With a date like that I was convinced something would go wrong.
The procedure took about an hour, and did not hurt at all. They only thing that was unpleasant was having my mouth wide open for an hour.



The offending teeth. Looking front on it is not too noticable, but from the side it shows very obviously.



I kid you not, in the last 2 days my teeth have moved a little bit.



They are tender, but not too bad and I have been able to eat as normal.

Lingual Braces in Action



I also only have a tiny lisp happening, and my Mum did not even pick up on it.




How I have changed over the years..




2002


Look at that chubby little face.. I really grew into my nose, thankfully.





2004


It would appear I had a skinny face, what happened?!


2011
My smile is more of a "I'm biting down on my back teeth so you can see all my teeth" smile here.


I love looking at photos and comparing differences!!

I'm getting BRACES... again!

So, guess what I am doing in 2 weeks?


Yep, thats right. Getting my top teeth corrected, again.




I had braces for three years and wore my retainers religiously at night time once they were removed.. and then I moved in with S.


I can't talk when I have them in, I dribble in my sleep, I do all sorts of freaky shit.




I stopped wearing them nightly. It went from nightly, to once a week, to once a fortnight, to once every 2 months, to "I've left my retainer in Los Angeles!!!".




My bottom teeth started to moved a year back and I had my teeth shaved down inbetween them, then straightened out with a plate and then a permanent bar placed on the back of my teeth which has solved that problem.


Pity about the 5 teeth to the right of my big teeth. They have all merged back, so far back that in photos they look a different colour as they have a shadow on them.



It has driven me nuts. I hate it.




I went to my Orthodontist yesterday, taking a sneaky 2 hour lunch break, and the news that the only way to repair it would be to have my top braces put back on, but this time on the inner of my mouth so not visible, and to then have the metal bar put on in 6 months time.


I agreed. $3,000 later.


At least my teeth will be perfect again.




Teeth are one of the things I always notice on a person, they are very important to me.




I would have said yes even if I had to have the braces on the front of my teeth, they would be kind of cute!!
