I picked this spot as it is special to me. My mum was sick for a very long time in the Freemasons hospital in Melbourne and opposite is the Fitzroy Gardens where we spent some times together having her time out and escapes from the hospital . She passed away in 1995 eventually from septicemia due to the immunosuppressants she was on for treatment of leukeamia and lupus.

Yeah Tamara - you guys set a wedding date - how fabulous.  We'll all be able to live vicariously through you as you plan your wedding.

My daughter's wedding was last weekend at a lighthouse in Maine and her reception was a nearby beach.  Great sunny weather that day.

Keep us in the loop now.

Hi Tamara!  It has been so much fun watching this incredible journey of your life.  Dating, needing a kidney, getting a kidney from Allen, a proposal from Allen and now the happy ever after wedding!   No one could make this up!  It is a true love story.

And yes, we all want every little detail. I love planning weddings (AlohaBeth has been planning her's since she was 16!)    Like Okarol said, we want to know about colors, what your dress and the bridesmaids dresses look like. Who is the maid of honor and best man?   There isn't any detail too small -- we want it all!   

Most of all, we wish you so much happiness.  You and Allen are already joined for life. He gave you a kidney, now he is giving you his heart.   :cuddle;
