Saturday: We are finally there; the Wedding


The Wedding wasn't until 5pm so we had at least half a day to kill. I honestly don't remember what we did but we were ready for the wedding at 5pm.

Melissa was fashionably late but not by much. It was worth it, to see her all dressed up with a beaming smile on her face was great. I've never seen her look so lovely and so relaxed all at the same time. The wedding ceremony took place at the Ruins (old town hall) and then across the road at the Theatre. She arrived in a red Mustang (which is Chrissies) and that went well with her flowers and bridesmaids. Everything was thought of. The ceremony wasn't hugely long, just long enough for Alicia to spill the bubble juice all over her shoes and then have to take them off! Luckily I didn't have hold of her, Brad did.

We had a group shot and then family shots were next but by that time, Alicia had spilt more of the bubble juice over herself and Nanna. Hence she wanted to take her top off, which she did before anyone could stop her. Luckily Brad stopped her from taking off her skirt aswell. Unfortunately I didn't put the other outfit in, so I had to convince her (I'm not sure how I did) to put her top back on and have at least one decent photo. For the rest of the night, she proceeded to run a muck and trash her clothes.

The reception, as I said was across the road and we went there for predinner drinks and to continue listening to the quintet. I love listening to live music especially lovely classics and dreamy themes. We moved in for dinner which was Indian and the kids had McDonald's. Again they had thought of everything. It was a leisurely dinner with comical and emotional speeches. The kids had a good time, we had a good time and everyone was spent by the time we left. Melissa and Jo didn't leave until about 1pm, thats a good indication that they were having a good time. Thanks for inviting us, we had a good time.
