So I am more or less recovered from the jet lag associated with a week long jaunt to my fabulous friend Marny and her fiancé Lachy’s nuptials in Melbourne. Flights across the world were very kindly subsidised by the father of the bride’s frequent flyer points, making the trip possible for us hard up entrepreneurs!. Thanks again, Mr. Whitechurch!.

Despite the onset of insomnia, I ventured to Melbourne City Centre, St. Kilda and Mornington Peninsula for a nose. Also, despite a late venue cancellation due to potential forest fires and a wheelchair ridden Lachy until the day before the wedding; the nuptials went off a treat. The bride to be was far too busy finalising her flash mob first dance routine and making her veil to find time to turn into a crazed bridezilla. Overall, a great time was had in Melbourne so now its back to business!.
