Karen and Maurice

Maurice and Karen were all prepared and family were coming from everywhere to share with them their special day. A note here - please check that you have your rings with you when you leave to come here.

A small gathering was held the evening before - a nice idea BUT this was after the stag party in Patong so 

the groom is in the playground looking after the children. Fast forward to the wedding (I believe that this was the third wedding?) and it was certainly something which was shared with all of the people who able to come to Phuket to share their special day.

The page boys and girls came first scattering flowers and the Karen came with Dad.

Words were shared, readings made, songs sung and kisses exchanged - lovely. 

Then it was time for the children to have a picnic on the grass 

(this was certainly a good idea).

Some group photographs.

The flowers were thrown

and the flowers were caught..

The cake was eaten - love the idea of a cake and bits to take off.

And of course some ones just of the bride and groom

And Instagram.

Of course the bride cleans the grooms feet when they come back...

Congratulations Karen and Maurice.

Claudia and Andrew

This was a meeting of two continents - Europe and Asia.

Claudia and Andrew arrived with one daughter and another child on the way.

They took the tram to the beach.

Then it was a simple walk to where we were all waiting.

It was a beautiful day for it.

Words were shared and then flower petals thrown.

The cake was cut....

Photographs were taken.

Claudia and Andrew had 10 minutes alone...

Congratulations Claudia and Andrew.

Chinni and Abu

This was the setting today - ready for some special people.

But it was not me today but Patrick in my outfit.

They were ready.

The bride arrived with daddy.

Words were shared with each other and then kisses were given.

Daddy caught them more than once with the flower confetti.

A certificate was signed

Congratulations Chinni and Abu

Takayuki + Kie

Takayuki + Kie were a couple who had come to us from Japan.

Takayuki had a beer before it all began.

The boys were told to get ready.

The setting was ready.

An elephant arrives and then Takayuki arrived on an elephant... 

It was clearly not expected.

Kie arrived soon after...

Words were shared and kisses given.

Then they went for a short walk.

It was then time to cut the cake.

Congratulations Takayuki + Kie.
