Today V and I headed up to Sydney for a very special event - the christening of the gorgeous Baby Z, the lovely daughter of very good friends of ours...
It was a Greek Orthodox Christening - I wish to goodness I'd taken my camera and taken some photos, because the interior of the church was mindblowingly beautiful! But I felt it might be a bit disrespectful...
Neither V nor I are religious, but the ritual and mystery of the ceremony was incredibly beautiful and also very moving! When the Priest was singing the prayers and they echoed up into the loft of the church, I got goosebumps! And of course, Baby Z looked so gorgeous in her christening gear...
After the ceremony, we all headed off to the reception - soooo much yummy food! V and I are officially skipping dinner tonight! (Well, we may rethink that in a few hours haha).

This is what we bought for baby Z as her christening gift - isn't it beautiful? Its a Wedgewood silver eggcup and spoon. I wanted to post it on here days ago but Baby Z's mum reads my blog! (Haha, sorry W, I'm far too sneaky for you!)
All the guests received the cutest little gift - how sweet is this little guy?
There are jellybeans at the back too - yum! Everything was in a pretty pink and white colour scheme, so of course these matched perfectly. (Plz excuse my horribly crinkled skirt, I blame it on the car ride home).
Happy Sunday!
xoxo

I am not a religious person as well but every now and then, I stand in awe of how majestic some religious celebrations or proceedings can be.
Wow, what a cute outfit. The white dress is so striking.
