Gerald & Judy .....in the Rose Gardens

When Gerald first contacted me about his September wedding to Judy, he told me that some of his best friends were one of my all-time favourite couples - Mark & Kweeyin, who I married in my first year of being a celebrant. I was so excited at the chance to help some of their friends - and to see them again.

I love a reunion! Everything was so easy in the lead up to the big day, though they did leave everything to the last minute ( They weren't the first to have me worried, and no doubt, they won't be the last, either!) Judy kept worrying about the weather, but Gerald wasn't worried about anything. He was going to marry the girl he had waited ten years for. Nothing would have wiped the big smiles off his face. Nothing!

As it was, the weather was a little iffy on the day and we decided to err on the side of caution and bring the ceremony undercover to the pavilion, which is such handy back-up of the Rose Gardens. So the smattering of rain didn't bother us at all - and everything else was beautiful. Judy looked absolutely stunning - all modern and traditional at the same time in off-white lace with bit of a fish tail. Gerald and the boys were every bit the gentlemen. 

It was simple. It was heartfelt and it was just lovely to be surrounded by such delightful people. Did I get my reunion? Yes!  I did. Hugs all round!

Thanks to Pepper Image for these photos. They were speedy too  I looooove photographers who give me photos soon after the ceremony. Love it! Wish there were more.......
