Le Reve perfume arrived today. Was so excited opening up my package. The little atomisers I got for mum and myself are so cute! Should smell nice for a while now!

Ray and picked up his Aunt Olga and Uncle Harry, and his cousin today at the airport. They have come up for the funeral on Monday. Is strange meeting relatives, especially under such sad circumstances. They are lovely people though!

Clyde's funeral was today up in Oberon. Was a rather cold day, but at least it didn't rain, as I though it might. Have also met Ray's youngest sister, Annette, who came down for the funeral, leaving her 6 kids with her husband.

We won a free double pass to see "Runaway Bride" from an i-do.com competition. Went and saw it today. Was an Okay movie.

We went to Air League wing review today, helping out with the barbeque. Well Ray helped more with the food. I would do bits and pieces in between getting mugged by the kids (Trent's and Dave's).
Mum and Dad had lunch with Ray's parents and were still there when we got home.

Paid more on my dress today. Across from the bridal shop was a costume jewellery shop that had a lot of nice things in it, including tiaras and sets for weddings. It was very busy, but I eventually got to the back and looked at tiaras with Ray. There were two I liked the look of, so I tried them on and asked Ray what he thought. We both liked the lower one better, so I put a deposit down on it. Another thing settled.
Next to the travel agents, where we organised for us to honeymoon in the Whitsundays. They couldn't give us the prices yet due to GST, but will get back to us with the prices in December, and the room is booked.
Had a look at wedding rings, but Ray is being a bit difficult....doesn't want to try any bands on. Will have to work on that.

Family night at the club tonight for my family. Went to Rooty Hill Club, and dinner was alright. The club was a bit of a mess in places as they are renovating at the moment.
Ray left the lights on in my car, so we had a flat bettery and had to wait an hour for NRMA to arrive. Thank God for mobile phones!!!

Ray and I attended my cousin Micheal's 2nd wedding (he has been married once before) today to Fiona Couchman. It was at Aunt Suzie's place, the ceremony in the front garden and reception in the backyard and garage.
Fiona looked absolutely stunning in a dark blue strapless dress with a matching shawl. The ceremony was short and simple, and the reception informal with nibblies and drinks, and a quick cutting of the pavlova cake.
Mum, Suzie and Margy got a bit slished (okay, maybe more than a bit), and were telling interesting stories to us all in the lounge room
