The calm before the storm.  Or is it the storm before the calm sanctity that is (or supposed to be) marriage.   Either way before we got hitched we had a couple of awesome stag and hen dos.  Actually we were lucky enough to have two each.  All the pics of my second one are all on facebook.

So for round one of the stag and hen, Nance blinged it up on a beautiful house boat for weekend up the Hawkesbury river.  Complete with spar and enough champagne and wine to open a winery showroom, the ladies enjoyed a 3 day chug among the natural beauty of the area.  To tell you the truth, the recipe of alcohol, boat, river and intoxicated ladies didn’t fill me confidence that we would ever see the wedding together.  However, Nance had an excellent time and only had a couple of life threatening moments, when looking back on them do you think, ‘How did I survive that?’

My first stag do of course was a surf trip four hours up the coast to a place called Boomerang Beach.  We hired a house and despite the lack of surf, we had a fantastic time.  We even had a visit from a couple of naughty angels hence the last couple of pics where i’ve been stripped to my undies and got covered in source.
