:: My Brother's Surprise to his Wife ::

So, to follow on from my last post about my younger brother's wedding I thought I'd show you the photos I took of when he surprised my sister-in-law with their honeymoon plans. He decided he was going to keep it as a surprise until the day before they left. All she knew was that it would be cold, which ruled out the Southern Hemisphere.

It turns out he booked an amazing honeymoon for the two of them - Paris, Switzerland, and then Italy (starting in the North and making their way down to the South). No biggie. I think they were gone for a month, they came back just in time for Christmas (yes, I am that far behind on showing you guys photos!).

I love her expressions here. This is when she found out she was going to Paris. And, the best part is, her older sister (who's wedding I also took photos of) also went to Paris for her honeymoon. My brother and sister-in-law put a lovelock right next to her sister's! So cute! AND (it gets better), her older sister is overseas right now and she placed another lovelock next to the original two with a little note on it saying hi to future grandkids. Love it!
These photos crack me up. This is when she realised they were also going to Disneyland while they were in Paris. Best.Honeymoon.Ever. So lucky! And, of course, I heard all about the amazing stationery stores in Paris when they came home. I was given some awesome stamps and washi!

To all my married friends, where did you go on your honeymoon? I'd love to hear your stories! We went to Melbourne for a week and the Sunshine Coast for a week. So far, we've been back to Melbourne for our wedding anniversaries and we hope to go back every year. We went for our second anniversary back in January and I have some awesome photos to show you. I'm obsessed with Melbourne and would seriously consider moving there if it weren't for all my family up here.

  1. I've just been editing some photos of family and capturing facial expressions is just so precious. You have done a splendid job here my dear of preserving special family memories. Never underestimate what a great gift you give by doing so. xx

  2. love these photos!
    We went to stay in a Lighthouse on the rugged west coast of Scotland which has been turned into a posh hotel and as we had gotten married in The Lakes we had all our walking gear, travelled there in the jeep looking like a right couple of hippies! And I had booked the poshest room haha it was so funny. We only stayed 2 nights though because of the budget!

  12. You caught the moment/ expressions so well! I just love your photos. Me and my boyfriend aren't married but we do like to travel around the country when we can. I'd like to get further abroad soon! It has been too long since I was overseas.
