Kristy & Krit among the roses

Ok, Ok - the very first thing that springs to mind when I look at this lovely happy photo of Kristy, Krit and I, after their lovely April wedding, is - "wow, I really need a tan". The second thing that comes to mind is just how delightful they are, and how much I enjoyed spending my time with them. This thought lasts much longer!
Theirs was a busy day for me. I did three weddings on that day, and with Kristy and Krit in the middle, I couldn't have been more in the zone.

The wedding was simply beautiful. One of those moments where I breathe out and take it all in  - and count my lucky stars that such lovely people want me to play fairy godmother on their big day. I practised my thai for Krit's relatives who had flown in just for the big day. (And I did ok!) Kristy's dress, with its lovely rosette at the front was just stunning. She was smiling all over - and Krit, too, was simply beaming. Even when they were tearing up, they were so happy and in the moment. Just seeing that makes everyone else sigh.

And, of course, as there are at all the best weddings,  there were a couple giggles along the way..
Before Kristy arrived, there was a "decoration malfunction" as the water filled urn behind where we would stand sprung a leak. The flowers were lovely, but just imagine water spurting out of a couple small holes, while the desperate decorators tried to jam it with blu-tak. No, they were not happy.
Following our water theme, Kristy's hotel room flooded and the fire brigade arrived. (great photo opportunity though - how many brides get photographed with firemen in uniform, and their lovely groom, all in one day!) The bridesmaid's dresses were a lovely shade of soft mauve, but the designer called it "quail". It was a running joke between us, that they wouldn't look anything like a quail - and they didn't -but they did look very, very pretty. And when I called the little girl who was to bring Kristy and Krit their roses for the rose ceremony, I called and called- but she wasn't there. We found a replacement - and even though she spoke virtually not a word of English, she was cute as a button - and very helpful.
All in all - if every couple was as happy as this one, and every wedding was as lovely as this.......aaah!

a huge thankyou, thankyou, thankyou to the lovely Wyatt Song of www.momentsintime.com.au for these beautiful photos of Kristy and Krit amongst the roses on their beautiful big day
