point + shoot: to church we go

Morning! How was your weekend? I can happily (oh so happily!) report that The Fence is done. Done! This was a huge project, taking loads of time and effort, stealing my weekends and preventing lots of other projects around the ramshackle farmhouse from progressing. So to say I am happy it's finished is the understatement of the century. Plus my hands hurt. Ouch.

sunday february 13th | 11.06am | narracan uniting church

In between fencing we decided that we had better start deciding where the heck we are actually going to get married. Yeah I know, kind of a big deal/major decision in the whole wedding planning process. I had been too busy dreaming of table centre arrangements and trying on veils to be bogged down in such mundane things as practicality! Sheesh. But on Sunday morning we tootled down the to the lovely little town of Narracan (a few kilometres down the same road I grew up on). Well to say Narracan is a town is a wee bit generous - it has a hall, a church and a school with about 15 kids. More of a 'locality' or 'community'. But the church, oh the church is so cute. The sign said services on Sunday's at 11am, which I thought strange to have services every week in this tiny 'town', and low and behold the sign was wrong. No service, just us peeking in through the windows to see how many of our guests we could cram into this teeny-tiny church.

Conclusion: I am calling the minister today and hoping to actually get inside the church to scope out exactly how teeny-tiny the space really is. Plus we want our family friend who is a minister to marry us, don't know if this is possible or 'standing on anyone's toes'. But oh how we loved the setting with the giant trees in the church yard, the Narracan creek literally at the doorstep and the quaintness of the little chapel architecture.

Go here to check out some other lovely weekends.
