Mr & Mrs P McFarlane – 13th September 2011

Morning all!

Yes I know, it's been ages since I posted on here!. I've not really had much to chat about! Florida was amazing, easily the best 2 weeks of my life! I met some fantastic people, ate lots of great food, visited some of the best theme parks in the world and got a good ol suntan!

Early in the morning the day after we arrived, there was a knock on the front door, and all I could hear was lots of screaming and shouting (I was still upstairs in bed at this point). I dived out of bed and chucked some clothes on, only to find out that there was no reason for me to panic. Paul's family (who couldn't make the trip) had secretly booked flights and a villa at the last minute. I mean really last minute, 3 days before we flew out. It turns out the were in the airport at the same time as us, and the only reson we didn't bump into them is because they were flying with a different airline! In a bizarre act of coincidence, they had managed to book the villa 2 doors down from ours! After a bit of a mad panic, all of the bookings for the wedding were amended to suit an extra 5 guests.

Sarah's wedding went as smoothly as you could ever hope a wedding could go. There was almost a hiccup in the morning. We got a call from the limo hire company to say the car had broken down. However they were going to upgrade from a regular limousine to a stretch Hummer H2. The company were so apologetic (unnecessarily as the difference in hire price was astronomical and they were waiving any extra fees). Sarah was over the moon. She'd wanted the Hummer to begin with, but at nearly $2000 for the day it would have completely blown the budget!

The rest of the holiday absolutely flew by, I could have easily not come home, the only reason I did is because of Phoebe, I couldn't leave her behind!

After some problems with my printing company of choice, I switched supplier and had a gorgeous photobook printed up for Paul & Sarah, which they are overjoyed with. It makes it all worthwhile when you hear really nice feedback regarding your work! I've included the images from the photobook below.
