Oh What a Night!


Above: Our Two Gorgeous Girls! 
Here they are at the gardens, bridesmaid and flower girl.

Top: Our Grand-daughter between Honey Pie and I.
Bottom: Bride and Flower Girl on the dance floor.
Our niece looked stunning in her beautiful white gown which was trimmed with black lace. Bouquets and head pieces were made by Kate from black and white feathers and beading...very unique.
The marriage ceremony was held on The Tablelands and most of the wedding party was transported to the gardens by mini-bus.  I think most of us were praying all the way up the hill because despite the mist and the clouds hanging low over the mountains, the rain stayed away!
What a beautiful ceremony...Kate, always confident, appeared nervous at times but she made a beautiful bride alongside her handsome husband.
While photographs of the bridal party were being taken a yummy smorgasbord of cheeses, cold meats, etcetera was served to the guests and then off we went down the mountain to receive the newly weds at the Cairns Reef Casino.
The ceremony was performed without a hitch and was followed by a sumptuous dinner, including a choice of six deserts!
The most enjoyable part of the night, without a doubt would have to have been the dancing.  Aunts, cousins, nieces, mothers, sisters and friends boogied right up until mid-night.  Notice that males aren't mentioned here? If it wasn't for us females, the dance floor would have been empty.  Well, almost.  I have never danced so much in all my life, and that' no exaggeration.
Sadly, Honey Pie and I had to leave just before the finale because our poor little grand-daughter was well and truly worn out and we had to drive her home!
