Wedding!

Just a quick entry as I am so so tired right now. I have a flight to catch in a few hours time with next to no chance of getting any real sleep! Yutang and myself are finally married! It happened today with a small gathering of close friends. We exchanged vows in Sydney and had a great meal in Woolahra with a great drinking session to end procedings in Kogarah. Take a look at the photo's and remember that there'll be more pics to come. All those who have photo's don't be shy! Send them on in. We want them all up here if possible!

 

From Yutang and myself we'd like to say thank you and look forward to seeing you all as Mr and Mrs Costelloe in the not too distant future!

Halo 2 Madness Continues

With Wednesday's Halo 2 shoot out now but history I can safely say it went all to plan. Except Wayne winning one of the matches that is. We had 3 matches of Slayer and I won the first in a tough fought match. Wayne then took out the second one by ensuring we were unable to locate him easily enough. But the last match was a joke. I won in a slaughter filled 24 deaths in a row with the term "unstoppable" being used by the game! Basically Owie found the sword. After I sneared it from him by ambushing him from a good hiding spot with a shotgun it was all over red rover. Comments like "get that freakin' thing off him!", "try using another weapon" (after which he was stuck with a plasma bomb) and "if you do that to me one more time I'm putting the controller down" were heard from the other room. I don't know which sux more. The fact that they play so crap or lose so bad!

Late Entry to Wedding Guest List

Just an update to the invite list. Weida Guan, Yutang's work buddy from her airport days is now on the illustriuos invite list and we hope to see him there on the "BIG DAY". Now to get those invites out!

Another Game... Another Win!

I just got home tonight from a big win over long time rival team "Grumpy Old Men" in Indoor Cricket. I Played alright but geese my batting is suss right now. I got out 3 times but managed to to hit an unconvincing 6 to make up for it. I got to learn to stop trying to smash lolli pop bowling! I always stuff it up and get out in the process!

Holidays!

They're back! Holidays! Three weeks of sleeping in (my favourite past time) and playing Halo death matches against any STUPID enough to take me on in Halo! Apart from that... not much else planned for my time off... oh that wedding of course! Silly 'ol me!

Was looking at buying the wedding rings today. Now being a guy who is devoid of personal jewellery I find it unusual that soon I'll be donning a ring. It’ll just seem weird. My dad never wore one. So that is also going to be something I’ll need to adjust to. Seeing a wedding ring that is. My brother, Wayne, has got tattoo’s, rings and piercing but I am the total opposite of him! So there’s no question there as to whether he’ll be wearing a wedding ring or not. Just a question out there to all the fellas reading this. Is it weird if a guy decides to decline wearing a ring? Or should I just get with the program and bow to tradition?

Washing Machines and Shower Tiles

Before I begin this little dilly I'd like to start by declaring that I fully am in gratitude to my parents for the wedding present they had delivered this week to us. Unfortunately the washing machine (weighing in at a 8kg load and costing $1999) has a problem. It won't cycle through it's cycle. It'll just agitate for hours and hours with no let up! The spin is simpy a far gone memory. So I'm waiting on Maytag (average phone manners I might add on their behalf) to come out tomorrow when they send their contractors (great phone manners on their behalf) to investigate the matter. <<SIGH>> Why can't things just work out of the box?

In other more embarrassing news... I've had a bit of an incident. Getting out of the bath tub appears to be a bit more of a chore now that I'm a slightly tubby bastard. As I was getting out of the bath I slipped slightly. In grabbing the shower glass frame I made a tile come out of the wall and now there's concrete and tiles bits with bolts hanging out of the wall. I didn't even push it much!

The Wedding List

With so many people wanting to be invited to the wedding it was always going to be tough deciding on who should receive the inevitable invites. So the list below is not meant to be a list of who's in and who's out. Simply put, these folks are people we feel would be a big part of our collective lives. We have only a budget for a wedding with 13 or so guests. Anymore than that and we start to look at bankruptcy!

Wedding Guest List:

Carolyn Costelloe

Christopher Costelloe

Wayne Costelloe

Dannielle Brice

Rob Spit

Owen Kelly

Kang Wang

Namiko Suzuki

Tim Chen

Gilbert Diab

Jing

David Richardson

David Lang

The wedding will be at the Sydney Registry at Chippendale. A reception lunch will follow at the Pruniers Restaraunt Bar in Woollahra (Edgecliff). We'll wrap things up with "nibblies" at our home in Kogarah. So there it is. The plan for the day. Anyone with any questions then please message me or phone. Hope to see you there!
