Wedding & Work

Well this wedding feels like it’s finally starting to come together. After doing bits and pieces every now and then, the planning is getting more constant and more exciting!

So far we’ve booked the ceremony venue, the celebrant, the reception venue and the photographer. I’ve asked a friend to be the videographer, I have my dress, I’ve started buying things so I can start making the table decorations and the bombonniere, I’ve bought beads, wire and tools so I can start making our jewellery and I’m in the process of booking the cars and make up artist at the moment.

I’m hoping to get everything done by Christmas because the end and start of the year are always crazy and seeing as though I’m the biggest stress head ever I think it’ll be for the best if I’m as organised as I can be!

Things are going really well on the work front at the moment too. I’ve just been asked if I’d like to be the marketing person for ‘Kiro for Kids’ which I’m so excited about!!

My boss, Dr Neil Davies, travels overseas to Thailand twice a year to treat orphans at the ‘Children of the Golden Triangle’ and the ‘New Life Foundation’. ‘Kiro for Kids’ was set up to raise funds to pay for these trips to Thailand and also to sponsor children.

We are currently sponsoring 3 children; Akha Pohchar, Weerasat Merlae and Mata Myer, but would like to be able to help more hence me starting to market the project to raise awareness.

Neil and his colleagues were able to treat around 1200 children last year which was great! Hopefully this year we’ll be able to raise more money to sponsor more children and to fund other doctors to go over with Neil to help out. I’m so happy to be part of this! It’s going to be a great challenge and so rewarding to know we’ve been able to help more children.
