G’day all,
I have an hour or so before we need to go out again so I thought I would advantage of this time read the posts and tell you about the wedding.
Thank you all about your kind comments about the photos.
Slavika was wondering about the attendants etc. well the wedding was somewhat unusual to say the least.
Joe and his ‘best man’ are cousins, their mothers are sisters and were both over 40 when they were born. Joe was number 5 and Shannon was number 8, very good catholic families lol. Joe and Shannon have always been very close and had promised each other at a very early age that they would be ‘best man’ for each other when they were to marry. So that is the reason, our son was happy to be the ‘bridesmaid’.
Our daughter’s favourite colour is blue and after trying on a few traditional wedding gowns, she just felt it wasn’t her and then when she saw the one she wore she just fell in love with it. Joe and her favourite flowers are frangipannis and these were used in her headgear.
The weather was magnificent and the whole day was just great.
We feel quite exhausted, we have been out every night catching up and are leaving for Sydney next Sunday. We will take our time travelling back and will be in Sydney again the following Saturday.
We received a call from Beijing yesterday to see if we were available to go there. That threw a spanner in the works. Just as we adjust to that idea we received a call in the early hours of the morning to say that dh is required in Sydney for a while yet!!!!
It is starting to get to me a bit and I will be pleased to be on my way. The longer we are home the more I feel that I just don’t want to do the travel bit anymore.
This morning dh tried out his ‘achilles tendon’ leg and we went for a bike ride along the beach, it was just superb, 28 degrees, a lovely seabreeze, what more would one want. Never mind, there could be worse things than living in a luxury serviced apartment!!!
I have enjoyed reading all your posts and once in Sydney, I will be back posting as usual and.........get back to some normal eating
Keep well all.
Cheers
Maria
