Daniel and Bianca's Wedding


Hi everyone, as you know we're getting hitched on Saturday 20th October 2007!

With the help of my Dad we've set up this blog to provide a few gift suggestions for those who might want them.

We don't expect gifts; your company at our wedding is all that we really want- particulary as many of you are travelling to Sydney from elsewhere for the wedding.

For those of you who would like to get a gift, we're told that it is helpful to have some guidance. So here is a list of mostly practical stuff for your consideration/inspiration. But we would be delighted to receive other things!

Finally, if you do decide to get something from the list, please post a comment in response to the item to let others know (so that they dont buy it as well!).

Thanks, and looking forward to seeing you on our big day.

Love Bianca and Daniel
