This past month has been craaaaaaazy!!!
 
I had my fourth and final hen party in Floripa.
I spent a week in Rio with a friend from England.
 
 
 
Then my parents arrived and all the in-laws met.
 
 
I got married!!!
 
On the Friday, we had the registry office service, where ALL of the witnesses were late, one arrived just as we were being called in. Then the wifi failed and the live link didn't work. :(
 
It was all over so quickly I didn't actually realise I was married!
 

 
After we went for cakes and coffee.
 
And in the evening we went to Bezerro Grill.
 
On the Saturday, I arrived at the salon at 7am for primping and preening.
 
 
While all that was going on Fabio and some friends were under strict instructions, dressed the venue with all my handmade/painted/glued/sewn/button-ified decorations.
 
 Finally I arrived after being told to be an hour late  and there were speeches.
 

 
For those who don't speak Portuguese, Fabs said 'First I would like to thank my family (Joss, my Mum, my Dad, Felipe, Titi, my grandmother Rose,  and Mr and Mrs Ellams) for supporting us in this new journey. Also thank my great friends here and who are sharing with us the most important moment of my lifeI remember that I always said that I would never find someone, but everyone said one day I would find 'my lid' to fit my pan. I just needed to be patient. Everyone who knows me, knows I am not patient! But now I'm here with the most beautiful person I have met in my life both inside and out, Joss I will love you forever! I would like to dedicate the first toast to Joss' Grandad, Mr Peter Moran who passed away a few weeks ago. Cheers Mr MoranNow let's eat and drink!'

 
 
 
And the dancing did begin!
 
 
 
 
On the Sunday, it was Fabs' Birthday and we headed to the beach for a few days with the parents. However the weather was cold and rainy!
 
 
 
My parents, left on Thursday and now it's time to try and get back to a normal routine!!
