We came back up to the top of the Dandenongs where the viewing deck is today. Chris first took me here two years ago during my first visit to Australia with him for Christmas. It was a bit of an overcast day when we came two years ago, but today, it was semi clear despite the threat of rain. We had a clear view of the Melbourne skyline. I looked at the place with a slightly different eye, this time seeing it as a potential wedding venue with its Secret Garden, English gardens, and 180 degree views of the city of Melbourne and the Yarra Valley. When we walked around the grounds and the reception area, I could actually imagine this place as a feasible option for our party. Even the food options seemed like they could be fitting for our multicultural menu desires.

This wedding thing is becoming more and more real each day. I can’t believe this is really happening.
