Crystal and Russel

It was certainly a hot day for us all - we were all ready and set to go thanking someone that they did not want this wedding in the middle of the day.

Then we were told to get ready Crystal and her entourage were coming...

And come they did - with a scream... Wonderful. Then everybody else started to come. Lovely to be there. Words were shared and promises were made to each other.

Then kisses were shared and the bride and groom walked away.

Then along the beach and then back for the cake....

Congratulations Crystal and Russel

Joana and Marcel

The special day started with a lot of anxiety about the weather. So I took the groom - Marcel for a beer at the Bamboo Bar. 

Calm and ready we moved to the beach

to where everything else was ready...

Joana arrived where words were shared and promise made

Then the signing took place - which was a lot of fun.

Then an extended walk along the beach

and back.

Then a bottle of bubbles upstairs in Panwa House and downstairs to cut the cake

Congratulations Joana and Marcel

Holly and Samuel

It was certainly a special day - the fun actually started a couple of days previous when Holly and Samuel agreed to give me a little bit of space to say a few things...

A song was sung by a friend.

The wedding party were all ready on the beach whilst we waited - so one of them brought over a tray of beers - a nice move...

I got the nod that Holly was ready so we were swiftly prepared.

Holly approached slowly and we waited patiently.

Words were spoken. Mum came up to say a few words. Then a friend said a few words.

Then there was some singing from the New Zealand family.

Some words were spoken from Samuel to Holly and then Holly to Samuel - lovely.

Then the bridesmaid took the flowers from Holly and then gave them to her partner... Where the bouquet of flowers fell apart and collapsed into pieces onto the sand and Holly burst out laughing and then so did everybody else... Not sure how he felt but I am glad that I was not involved.

After that everything seemed to be funny. Happiness comes to us easily and from the strangest things.

Paper was signed and witnessed.

Petals were thrown and the smiling continued.

Congratulations Holly and Samuel
