... is what bwings us togevah.
Leigh and Naomi were married in the gardens of the Lyrebird Falls reception centre, Kallista, at 4:30pm Saturday. The reception followed at the the same place. A picturesque location for a beautiful wedding, congratulations guys.
I was privelaged to do two readings during the ceremony, I stood behind the couple as they held hands in front of me reading, it was very cool, I felt like a priest. The readings weren't from the Bible though - they were just meaningful poems that they found somewhere. They were married by a celebrant and, incidentally, it's the first non-church wedding I've ever been to. It wasn't that different really - a bit shorter due to the lack of singing - and at the end the celebrant said "by the power invested in me by the L..." and I thought he was going to say "Lord" but he just stopped at "Law".
Then Elicia and I spent Saturday and Sunday night at a fancy (and rather expensive) bed and breakfast in Olinda, very nice, very romantic. We had the King Arthur suite, complete with King-size bed, four-poster spa and a replica of Excalibur embedded in the stone wall. It wouldn't come out, I tried. Or maybe I'm just not the Future King of All England.
