Engaged, Getting Married and Honeymoon


Lots of you already know that Jodie and I are engaged! Some of you should even have invitations to the wedding by now. Even though the wedding isn't until September, we just got back from our honeymoon this afternoon! Since we will be coming up to our second peak season after our wedding, we won't have time to take a break until next year, so we had our honeymoon early.

We have had a magical weekend at Cradle Mountain Lodge, including snow falling, just as Jodie wished and I promised. It was the most inspiring and relaxing time away and we have come home more excited than ever about the commitment we have made to each other. Our wedding is a chance to share our love and enjoy the ceremony with all the people in our lives, but we've already started our lives together with a view to forever.

Jodie finally has an engagement ring to wear after this weekend! It is one of the diamond ring keepers that will sit either side of her wedding ring. We were able to pick up our rings from Hobart last week, and they captured our design flawlessly. The rings have a celtic knot pattern that means infinity or eternity, and I'll post the design once I can do it justice.

I'm expecting several comments on this post that include the words 'marriage is forever', since I've hounded all my best friends on the subject prior to them tying the knot. So I've got in first. Read again from the top [especially the bit about infinity].

We'll post some photos from the trip a bit later on too!
