WEDDING PHOTOS:

THE NEW FAMILY UNIT

Amanda and Andrew, Huston and Joel

The Bridal Party with the Wedding Car:

there were two of these awesome old cars.

Amanda with one of her 3 gorgeous Bridesmaids

The wedding venue was at the Hamilton Gardens,

very beautiful.

It was a stinking hot day as predicted, but luckily a little overcast so we didn't TOTALLY melt!

Here we have Mike and Abby slinking away for a quiet walk between photos being taken and the reception.

Here we have our daughter Kelly, her partner Gordon and their darling daughter Rena.

Hopefully we will be attending their wedding next!

(hint .. hint ! lol, no PRESSURE you understand)

After the Bride, the most GORGEOUS girl there!

Even with a grotty bib.

Our 6 youngest grandchildren..... Griffin (7) Huston (6)

Joshua (7.7) Joel (4) Brylee (8) and in front

being held by her Mum ... Rena (9 months)

Edit: Joshua is blanked out as I have not asked his parents for permission

to publish photos of him.

Here they are standing on a table watching a model boat being

driven on the little lake.

It certainly kept them amused for a while.

One of the surprises of the evening was for Amanda....Andrew had not told her where they were going for their HONEYMOON....

She soon found out when she was given this!

The incredibly yummy Chocolate/Fruit Wedding Cake.

I only had the tiniest piece, I swear!

Cutting the Cake...

talk about stating the obvious eh? lol

The First Dance .... which was followed by a dance

dedicated to Stew and Me!

Our song is: "I've Got You Babe" by UB40

I nearly cried dancing with my Stew, he really is my EVERYTHING..

I hope Amanda and Andrew have the same love for each other as we do, cos if they do they will have the most wonderful marriage.

The task of removing the garter, Andrew tried with his teeth, but gave up and hauled it off with his hand!

Two of my dearest girlfriends and our youngest daughter Kelly.

Richard and Jenny / Bronwyn and Glen.

Stew went to school with all but Jenny... they are our dearest friends.

Granddad and Rena, makes ya melt just looking at them.

(well OK, makes ME melt !)

Mike looking like a deer in the headlights....

Steve, looking very dashing.. he was the MC at the wedding.

and FINALLY.... on the way home yesterday....

totally KNACKERED... and quiet. Thank God.

So that's it for now with the photos! I realised I didn't get one of Amanda full length so have asked her to send me one.... *sigh*... it's a wonder I got any ... I was so hot and bothered most of the day!

It really was stinking hot... me knickers got drenched with sweat by lunchtime.... (too much information eh?) *smiles*... so I ended up not wearing any!

I was not the only one either! None of the Bridesmaids had any on either... it was just too hot!

TODAY:

Well we still have Mike, Abby and Steve here.... so will probably go out SOMEWHERE.... ONWARD...

My wedding outfit is shown on yesterday's post ... ya dorks! lol

End of Day: I think we are all feeling a bit jaded today... shopping/weddings etc sure take it outta you! nite nite.
