Melbourne in June. It's cold, it can be wet, and generally not the best time of year for a wedding. Dispute all this Janet and Peter has a wonderful day.
Exhausted from driving around the country we were given two weeks to recover before heading south for Evan's sisters wedding. As I've said before, what's another 2000 km when you've just done 22 000 km?
We left Sydney after work on Thursday and drove to Yass for the night. The traffic leaving Sydney was horrendous, and this was before 5, what's it going to be like in 10 years?
We stopped at a motel with tiny rooms and crammed all the kids in on the floor.
The best part of the journey was discovering that the submarine in Holbrook has been yarn bombed yellow! It looked amazing. There are some crazy people out there, a submarine jumper. The boys were a bit disappointed they couldn't climb it.
It was 8°C and raining when we picked up Uncle Bruce and drove to Ringwood from Geelong.
The venue, Rosebank, was beautiful, an historic house with a chapel in the front garden.
Fran had altered her wedding dress from 1968 as Janet had asked to wear her mothers dress. The fabric was still perfect white with embroidered silver flowers. Her hair and make up looked beautiful and she was beaming. Peter seemed pretty relaxed, although I don't think I've ever seen him stressed about anything.
The 90 guests crammed into the little chapel. The boys behaved very well but were glad to run around on the grass outside after the ceremony and blow bubbles.
The food was fantastic and so much, canapés, then entre, main and wedding cake for dessert. I felt ill from eating too much.
A fantastic day. Congratulations Janet and Peter!!
