We are back!

From THE Wedding. Strdbroke Island was beautiful, and the day was perfect...despite threatened oil spills, washed up explosive containers and a looming cyclone! (seriously, I have never heard Straddie mentioned on the news - except in relation to drunken schoolies escapades- and it was mentioned every night on the news when we were over there!!)

The bride looked amazing! And my girls did a wonderful job as flowergirls - for the 4th time. LOL Many jokes about their 'professional flowergirl' status.



And we got the bride to the ceremony on time! She would have been the most easygoing bride ever! We went to check out the spot for the ceremony when we first arrived, and, well, it had gone. The beach where the wedding was to be help had been washed away in the choppy cyclone seas and massive tides. So she just shrugged and found a plan 'B'.


My dad was SO proud of his girl.


The dress was AMAZING!





My brother was an awesome MC (he tried telling us that MC= Mr Cool, I'm not buying it) And my other brother was wonderful with all the technical 'stuff' like the PA and the music:)





My sis was a beautiful bridesmaid






And mum looked amazing in her $200 shoes (but I SAVED 40% was the oft heard cry!!)







And the spot which was plan 'B' was perfect. Look at that view that we had to watch whilst at the ceremony


















And I think we are all breathing a sigh of relief that it is finished! I have about a squillion photos still to come. I foolishly only took one memory card, and so have dumped all my pics onto my brothers lap top...he is going to create a disc of all the photos taken for us to have:)









Its nice to be home!
