Another quick one, just to proudly announce the marriage of my brother Francis to his beautiful new bride Joelle. They were married this past weekend here in Perth. It was a wonderfully unique ceremony (they both work in media, so there was plenty of music and videos playing throughout), an excellent reception lunch (organised by Mum with the help of a small army of volunteers), and some eloquent, funny and emotional toasting (accompanied by a pleasant Australian sparkling sourced by yours truly).
The moment says it all really.
The only problem was that it was so hot (41 C in Perth that day, with little to no breeze), that the makeup artist (aka the lovely Sharon) had a hard time making sure the sweat from the grooms face didn’t wipe off all of her hard work…
Still, nothing that a refreshing minty mojito couldn’t fix.
It was a great day and night, and I wish them all the best for their new life together.
Soppy post over… be assured, this blog will return to it’s usual sarcastic self shortly.
aaawww! pass the tissues ;-)
Beautiful, congrats to the happy couple!!
Hi Matt just found you on Bron’s Pav post. Have added you to my Aussie food blogs list. I really miss that 41 degree weather. It’s raining here again today!
Looks gorgeous and very romantic. Nice interlude including the aww shucks, I am all goey stuff ;)
Thanks Bron, Barbara, and Amelita, it was a lovely day for all concerned.
Barbara, anytime you feel like swapping your weather for mine, just let me know. As a born and bred kiwi I often long for a bit of cool weather and the odd snow storm to come through. I will trade you a 41C for a 10C anytime you like… Or else we can just wait til climate change has full kicked in and we’re all freezing one day and boiling the next… :)
