The Honeymoon

Here's the run down of our lovely warm honeymoon in sunny Pt Douglas..

Day One - Monday

After flying from cold adelaide to sunny cairns we took a shuttle bus to Pt.Douglas and tried to take in the fact that we had just become newly weds!

We felt instantly welcome when we arrived at our luxurious accomodation.. The Treetops Resort. Thanks Bozo. 

Once we found our gorgeous room.. we decided to talk a walk down Four Mile Beach.. beautiful!

We even had time for a play..

woohoo

God was definately smiling sunshine down on us while we were away! Beautiful weather!

On the way home Kylie discovered something hanging in the electrical wires-"hey clint, those shoes look like a dead bat" ...

Clint has a closer look, thanks to the zooms lens.. and much to Kylie's dismay and Clints delight "It IS a dead bat!"

Kylie lost her appetite.. but Clint was more than happy to enjoy a meal.

This one was on the Ritchies :) Thanks guys!

Day Two - Tuesday

The sun continued to shine and we decided to simply relax, as we didn't have a wedding to plan anymore!

We were pretty stoked with our choice of resort! We lay down by the pool and just relaxed :)

niiice!

We also enjoyed a couples massage *no photos available* :)

Then we went for a wander to the town. Clint showed me all the spots he enjoyed last time he went to Pt.Douglas with out me.

St.Marys Church by the sea.. cute!

We tried to find Jessica Watson.. but she was probably writting a book or something.

The day just stayed light and warm it was awesome! Couldnt get over our beautiful resort either ;) jealous yet? You should be!

Before we knew it.. it was dinner time.. so we went to a local spot that the massuse reccommended.

Yumm! Tasty Fresh Local Fish!

Day Three - Wednesday

We went on a Cruise.. we picked the perfect day! No wind!

This is the island we sailed to..

And this is where we went snorkelling! (Low Isles)

Oh yeah thats my hunky husband!

We bought an underwater camera, so we have taken photos of the Reef and us underwater but they are yet to be developed!

Once again.. Clints appetite doesn;t go astray

bye bye island.. thanks for a wonderful day!

What a beautiful place

We had a $130 meal voucher to use at Treetops.. so we paced ourselves and ate as much as humanly possible

that was just the 'bread' now on to the entree!

Did someone say Crocodile Springrolls?? hmm interesting

now on to the main

Kylie not impressed with the service.. where is our dessert?? We paid for this free meal and we're not leaving til we get it!

I dont think I can fit it in though!

Day Four - Thursday

We headed into the town and it was a lovely day for a Clintylie Photoshoot!

All that posing made me hungry..

Day Five - Friday

A beautiful day for a walk!

We headed off down the road to the Wildlife Habitat YAY!

A pretty little path..

lets walk down there!

or not!!

theres bats.. and with bats.. comes.. BAT POO!!

we decided to take alternate path so we didnt get pooped on!

We arrived at the Wildlife Habitat and enjoyed "Breakfast with the Birds"

Yes, its juice.. and yes I really did marry this man!!

we enjoyed eating breakfast with the birds all around us.. and moved on to see the animals.. like this little fella..

lucky they taped her mouth shut!

We went on a tour through the rainforest. Clint was very good at pointing out birds :P

he seemed more excited about what came out of the birds bottoms tho!

Kylie on the other hand enjoyed talking with the birds

Isnt he a good bird posing for the camera..

yes we're getting fancy with the photos again ;)

I know its not in focus but it looks cool!

man I loooove birds!!

Gotta love these guys hair do!

I didn't have much luck with feeding the wallabies and kangaroos..

Clint on the other hand.. made a new friend!

So we said goodbye to the wildlife habitat.. and you think we'd be exhausted.. but no somehow we managed to hire some bikes and go bike riding for the afternoon!

yay!

I feel another Clintylie photoshoot coming up..

We went riding up and down hills and along Four Mile Beach! That was pretty cool!

Clint was in his element!

We check out another classy resort

We managed to have enough energy and gutso to climb up to a look out to see this view of the beach..

then it was 'home' time to relax

Day Six - Saturday

Our last day in Paradise :( but we made the best of it.. and headed back in to the town

we enjoyed our last fav lunches

Veggie and Lentil Burger

and...

the yummiest scrummiest salad in the world!!!!!!!!!! yum japanese/sushi salad!

waiting to order our final dinner at the Treetops

what are u gonna have clint?

I'm gonna have the veggie stirfry again (aww isnt he so cute!)

im gonna have grilled fish and chips! YUM barramundi :)

Final Day... Sunday

We left treetops bright and early and spent the day at the cairns airport as they delayed and then CANCELLED our flight.. so we hung around in lines for HOURS!

and what better to do when ur bored in a line at the airport?

after a long day of waiting.. we were taken to our accomodation and informed that the next available flight wasnt until TUESDAY!

oh well at least we got nice accom!

Monday

We just chilled for the day and then had a nice meal at dinner time-yay for the salad bar

Tuesday

We prepared to go home once again

have I got breakfast on my face?

hehe yum yoghurt!

Well we finally made it home.. welcomed by Clints parents, Kylies mum and Jessie.. thanks for welcoming us home :) and thanks Mum and Jess for setting our room up so that we came home to this..

Thanks!

Well.. the official honeymoon is over.. back to reality now! It was lovely while it lasted :)

Introducing Mr and Mrs Brice

We did it!! We are now both happily married :) We tied the knot infront of a packed to the rafters Rosefield Uniting Church on August 21st. After 8 months of planning and preparing ourselves, everything went smoothly with no hiccups. Again a huge thank you to all involved, from those of you supporting us in the pews, to the generous people preparing afternoon tea at the church BUT lets not forget how awesome the weather was! Our day was right in the middle of some very average weather but the clouds cleared and the sun shone down to warm us all. Thank you God!

We both decided to not see each other the day before the wedding and we spent time with our bridal party. Kylie was a special guest at the Hewitts who showered her with pancakes, ice cream and lots of chocolate.

The fair maidens of the round table....

..mm breakfast..

slowly getting ready!

Clint, on the other hand decided to go for a swing at the driving range with the lads. They did an awesome job keeping Clints nerves at bay with their unorthodox ways to hit a golf ball. A special mention to Dave for being able to hit the ball behind him while swinging forwards, bouncing it off the roof above and out to the carpark. Nice one! We then had a lovely pub meal at the Watermark and made it home in plenty of time to whip RockBand into a frenzy. This is where Dave made up for his golfing ability by dominating the guitar. We totally destroyed "Spoonman" by Soundgarden.

So the scene was set for a 1pm wedding. The lads arrived a bit early and it was great to see so many of our loved ones there.

We sat down and waited for the lovely Kylie to arrive. I had no idea what the time was but I wasn't worried, I knew Kylie was going to be late, I mean when is she early for anything? haha

At last I got a tap on the shoulder followed by the words "She's here!"

I stood up and nervously faced everyone trying not to break out in tears as Jessie and the other beautiful bridesmaids began their walk up the aisle.

Sign Sealed Delivered! Thanks to Super Pa and Fabulous Minister Phil Hoffman.

The Kiss! (well, one of..)

In Tim, our wonderful photographers safe hands now!

Off to have photos with the bridal party...killer boots girls!

oh yeah.. boyband much?

Kylie's girls and the gorgeous Rach who was responsible for making the bride look so beautiful on our wedding day!

My super trooper big bro Matty, what a spunk.. oh and a pretty good chauffeur too ;)

Speaking of which.. thanks Dan for being a great driver :)

A HUGE THANKYOU to our third and final driver (last but definately not least!) Matt Neale! You are an absolute champ, thankyou for organising the snazzy cars mate!

Yay time for FOOD! And a beer..

What a warm and cosy intimate family dinner! Well done to the Ed for setting up the room

The team effort that went in to this Wishing Well.. Heather Hobby- making the box and bits, Mumma Goodluck - Painting, Kylie Brice (formely known as Kylie Goodluck) - having fun and decorating with stickers and stuff! Clint helped out too, he stayed up really late on a school night to watch.

Thank you mum for the beautiful surprise of my dream bouquet!

Cutting our marvelous cake!

Thankyou Kate from Sugarush Cakes for creating our masterpiece! Which not only looked amazing but tasted delicious!!

Really Kylie? You have energy left for dancing!! Carve that dance floor!

And.. we're spent!!

pics from our honeymoon coming very soon!

p.s If anyone has any photos or videos from the bigday, let us know as we'd love to have a look or even get a copy! cheers.

8 Days to go!

WOW! Where has the time gone? When we decided to become an engaged couple we wanted a short engagement of around 6 months. I proposed to Kylie in november of 2009 and my how time has flown. The amount of careful planning, organising and general finger pointing is almost over and our big day is not around the corner anymore!

I have finished work for 3 weeks and Kylie finishes up today which we both feel is a welcome break to get our minds focused for our wedding. We have finished moving house and have almost unpacked everything we have brought. We are not gonna lie when we say the last 3 or 4 months have been very hard, in more ways than one. Its about now that the both of us have finally started to enjoy the lead up and spend time with our dear family and friends. Were feeling good, pretty nervous tho, but excited all at once.

This week we finally said goodbye to St Marys!!!

Thank you so much to our mums and dads for helping me move.

We are very blessed and will always be forever thankful for our families, especially our parents for their hardwork and help during this time. We would not be in the position we are without them and their love and support. We love you very much.

Same goes for our wonderful bridesmaids and groomsmen, you have been awesome, generous, amazing and the most helpful and loving bunch of cool kids we know!

Ive got a list as long as my arms of things to do before we tie the knot and ive been powering through it thanks to being energised by helping out at the breakfast club at Kylies School. What a great bunch of kids they are, thanks for letting me butter your bread and jam your toast without complaining. Only you lot could eat soggy weatbix with mashed up bananna.

So Kylie moves into the new house very soon but last night we welcomed the arrival of the first shipment of care bears. I was there personally to shake each of their paws and welcome them aboard with open arms. They were nice carebears apart from this dude....

 Sadly they drank all the milo and theyve warned me this is just the beginning. Yep thats right, theres more!!

I know ive got millions of cds, tapes, video tapes and dvds of my favourite bands but man have i met my match with Kylies equivalent....GOLDEN BOOKS! They are everywhere!

So far things are looking great for our life together. We have a new house which we love very much, there is a young family living in the st marys house and the elizabeth property will be finished in the next month or two!

We were stoked to get the keys to the new place....

The view of our backyard. Lots of meals outside in the summertime!

See you guys on the 21st August and dont forget to vote!

It's all happening!!

Wow.. not long now.. only 2 weeks! We are ticking things off our list everyday! We are now in the final stages of putting things together for the big day. We know that this is one of the biggest days of our lives and we are ready for it but at the same time we cant help but feel very nervous amongst all the excitement. For those who are hoping to come along and witness our big day, we hope you enjoy it as much as we are planning to!
