noods & suze's engagement party - 2 July 2008, 21:55
our engagement party was set a whole month after noods proposed mostly because we needed to concentrate on the good food and wine show. luckily the weather brightened up and we had a gorgeous sunny day!
lol i paid $1.50 per balloon and somehow noods managed to deflate one before it even reached my house. he claims he didnt do anything but i think he ate the helium.
nat, me and auds my fabulous helpers who arrived earli while i scrambled to get everything done on time
we have like 5 fridges in our house 0_0 and it was actually easier to just move the fridge from the garage to the backyard instead of paying and filling the eskys with ice cos we’re cheap heh noods said it was his dream to organise a fridge just for beer…
=D
me, ev, connie, kev, matty. mmm west coast
jonno… with balloons…
and because we were sooo organised noods had to leave and go off and pick up our 6 foot sub from subway north rocks.
superman! our sub barely fit on our table haha
our awesome sub from my ex boss at subway. thanks heaps emil!
satay lady!
hurhur our table of food! 6 ft sub from subway, wontons & spring rolls from baz, salad from boey, satay from zaida the satay lady, vegetarian noodles from mrs wong, ham & hommus wraps from the mothership, cheese & sourcream dip from me and wait for it:
our glorious roasted suckling pig! mmm piggy
i like knives!
noods hacking away at the pig
noods in deep concentration

i couldnt hire the jumping castle cos there wasnt enough space. so i hired a fairy floss machine heehee my dad had alot of fun telling people their fairy floss wasnt big enough lol ready for a whole bunch of fotos of people with their fairy floss?
