Everyone loves a wedding. It is that one day in the year, where you gather with all your friends and witness two people exchange vows and profess their love to one another. It becomes even more special when the bride or groom are your closest friends in the world. Little-Miss-Drink-A-Lot and I have shared so many ups and downs together in life, we have always been there for each other. And now that it is her turn to get married, I couldn't be more happy for her!
I woke up that Saturday morning, gave Little Bambi her first feed of the day at 7am, then at around 9am, I headed out to Little-Miss-Drink-A-Lot's hotel which was just a few steps away from ours. We got out hair and make up done, with a videographer and a photographer by our side. The atmosphere reminded me very much of my wedding day... ahh time flies.
Then at 11am, it was Mummy's Milk Bar Duties for me. Grumpy came over to the hotel with Little Bambi and I gave her the 2nd feed of the day. While feeding Little Bambi, I had rollers in my hair, make up and fake lashes.. I told Grumpy, "I feel like Miranda Kerr!!"

By 1pm we were all ready, and I took the opportunity to quickly express my boobs in the bathroom. Little Bambi usually feeds at 3pm, but because we would all be in the church at that time, I expressed at 1pm instead.
The wedding day went exactly as planned. The church ceremony was beautiful. I think I saw the groom getting teary eyed! After the ceremony, the bridal party headed out to Vaucluse for sunset photos. Grumpy went back to the hotel to check on Little Bambi. We decided not to bring her to the church only because taxis with baby capsules were so rare!

After we were done with photos, we headed to the reception at around 6.30pm. Immediately, I rushed to the toilets, again, to express my boobs. So you see, I spent the entire wedding day with a breast pump in my bag, thinking only about emptying my boobs and how to avoid getting mastitis again! Plus, wearing a bridesmaid dress instead of a nursing top made access to the boobs quite challenging. Haha but I soldiered on!
If there was one thing I was nervous about on the wedding day (apart from my boobies), it would have to be my Matron of Honour speech! Eeks! At the end, I kept it simple, short and I wrote/spoke exactly of how I felt about our friendship after all these years.
After the reception, Grumpy and I decided to head out with the rest of the wedding entourage to the after party. I was a little bit tired but we thought, hey, we're in Sydney, Little Bambi is sleeping at the hotel, my mother-in-law is looking after her.. lets just have some fun! So we went to Bar100 until about 2.30am. I was in bed by 3.15am.. and the next morning, Little Bambi woke up at 6am (instead of her usual 7am). But I missed her so much! I barely spent time with her the day before, so the next morning I couldn't stop giving her cuddles!
That Sunday morning, we packed and checked out from the hotel at about 12noon. We headed straight to the airport for our flight back to Melbourne. We finally got back home at nearly 7pm that day. Grumpy, Little Bambi and I were exhausted.

It was indeed such an eventful trip to Sydney! Grumpy and I decided it will be a while more before we travel again (with a baby in tow)! Haha
