Regular readers would gather by now that we love a feature on super successful lady things who are breaking the mould in the very finest of ways. Today’s subject, Lisa Wilkinson, fits that bill. I have to confess, until recently, I thought Lisa Wilkinson was just *wince* another attractive, smiley, tv host, without any other feathers in her cap. I am glad to admit I was supremely wrong!

Romance is in the SY house today.
Well, it will be after work and family stuff is done. I’ve booked a caterer so inom don’t have to cook tonight. I’ve chilled the champagne and we’ll get out the fancy Royal Doulton flutes and toast to nine years of marriage.
If you’re new here to SY, inom wrote a little bit about our wedding day here but I wanted to ask the question: What did YOU wear on your wedding day?
I wore a Wendy Makin gown – the top of this gown was originally strapless. Strapless gowns are not my friend so Wendy changed it to suit. The pearls I’m wearing were my late mum’s Mikimoto pearls (a gift to her from her parents on her 21st).
And yes, I would still wear something like this today.
