NOVEMBER 2006


Friday 3 November 2006

Well everyone I've been home for a week now since coming out of the ICU. After suffering a bad brain contussion from a fall at home two sundays ago I'm recovering well. Getting a little bit edgy just sitting at home though, not being able to go to the gym, watch too much tv or work on WeddingCompare.com as much as I'd liked to is driving me a little bit crazy!

As for the month of Movember it brings a fresh new challenge for me and some of my friends. One of my groomsmen, Richard (owner of CaptainCompare.com) and I will be competing Kenny vs Spenny style to determine at the end of the month who has the best mo. Photos will be posted of our progress as well as those of another one of our friends who is supporting the Chuck Norris style mo.

Rules were that we both had to start with a clean shaven face, only a mo (no goatie or beard) and that the winner would be decided by a poll of random people. The winner then gets to decide upon a humilation for the loser that they must undertake in front of them. You can support me in this quest by sponsoring me.

Please go to http://www.movember.com/au/sponsor, enter my Rego number which is 35945 and your credit card details. All donations of $2 and over are tax deductible. The money raised by Movember will be used to change the face of men's health by creating awareness and funding research into prostate cancer and male depression.

Have a look at the Movember Challenge page to view the photos of Richard, Jason and myself. I'll try and put a photo up everyday so you can follow the change from mere mortal to superstar! Thanks for your support.

OCTOBER 2006


Friday 27 October 2006

It's Friday October 27 and I am finally home from my emergency stay in the Intensive Care Unit of the hospital since Sunday night!

I had a bad fall at home on Sunday night and suffered a serious brain contussion which left me on life support for 36 hours. I am still recovering naturally but am doing well, having been overwhelmed by the love and support of my fiance, family and friends.

This occurance has put everything into perspective for me and has made me realize just how lucky I am to be marrying someone as loving and caring as my fiance. She is amazing and I want the world to know that she is my everything and I love her more then I can put into words.

Feel free to write any messages of support at the WeddingCompare.com Forum.

There is no time like the present to tell your partner you love and adore them.

Everyone there is now a poll on the WeddingCompare.com Forum asking your opinion on Re-touching wedding photos and if you would do it. Personally I said that i would, but only the background if there was something in it that ruined a great shot.

Have a great day all I am off to the gym again!!

The fiance and I are up late tonight having some drinks with my best man's girl (Marc is presently away serving in the Australian navy and is a real bad ass). We are here with Jack and discussing important life topics such as marriage, dogs and the vital core skills SPELLING AND PUNCTATION!

How many of you guys have typed something, then thought wait, that isn't right? But then typed it into word, did spellcheck and found it was right. Hope for our sake it isn't just us. Also a question for anyone who is learnered in the art of punctation...did you all know that there is now only one space after a full stop before the next sentence starts? NO WAY!! The woman must be wrong, please help me and post a response at our forum!!!

Overall our conversations in summary;

Dogs are our most honest and loyal friends (but will only be truely good for food!).

Marriage happens when there's true love and you both know when it's right.

BUT SPELLING AND PUNCTUATION CHANGES!!!!!!

So confussed and a little drunk right now. Please post a comment to help me.

Hi guys my name is Grant and this is the first entry in what is to be many over the coming 5 months leading up to my wedding. I plan on taking everyone with me on this ride that I am on which started on Christmas Day last year when my fiancé accepted my wedding proposal!

My fiancé and I are the force behind WeddingCompare.com, and much of the information contained in this site comes from our experiences so far in trying to organise, plan and celebrate our wedding.

Now I thought I knew how much there is to planning and organising a wedding, but when it is your own wedding and you want it to be the most special day of your life, you only then realise just how much stuff there actually is to consider, research and decide upon. Because lets face it, you want your wedding day to be the greatest day of your life without comparison.

It is for this reason that I decided to create WeddingCompare.com. You can compare absolutely everything weddings, and believe me there is a lot to compare, especially when your fiancé drops 15 wedding magazines on the desk in tears about a wedding dress and there being nothing!

Using advice from my professional friends in the industry and our own personal experiences, this site is still very much in build mode but is growing rapidly. So bookmark and check back often to utilise the many links I have compared. There will be many more links added everyday as well as fresh new reviews and content.

If you would like to post a comment on our forum which discusses everything weddings, please use the links provided. The hot topics at the moment are Choosing a Wedding Photographer and Celebrity Weddings. We all love celebrity weddings and we compare them here and rank what we think are the best to the worst. Have your say in our forum and give us some feedback on our site or any recommendations.

And if you all liked the vid I put on the homepage be sure to go to www.YouTube.com to view Would you let your wedding photographger do this to you? Subscribe to me and you can see what other amazing and funny stuff I have found. Just wait till I start researching the bucks night. Yeah baby, brides get the grooms online as this part they’ll love to help organise!

Anyway this is my first ever blog entry so I hoped you liked it. Enjoy the site and remember to use the links provided. I’m off to the gym as the count down to my wedding means my count down to getting into the best shape of my life (there is a fitness section coming). There is going to be no re-touching of me in my wedding photos!
