Country wedding

Last weekend, we were up on the farm in Gloucester for Brad's mums wedding. Spring has well and truly spring and we couldn't have asked for a nicer day. There was not a cloud in the sky (although I did feel a bit warm wearing a suit and was a bit red on Sunday morning!).

All of Brads family had jobs to do to help get ready. Brad had been up for a few days during the week to help, his sister and brother were doing the catering (well his sister did most of it) and I was just pottering about (as usual). Bev (Brads mum) asked me to take care of the cake cutting part of the ceremony and I spent most of the time helping prepare platters (or skiving off into town for coffee or shopping!)

The ceremony was outside and Brad give his mum away. It was shorts and sweet, with a few reading and photo's at the end. The bar opened and everyone chipped in to serve finger food. Then came the cake cutting. Well by this points I had consumed 4 or 5 glasses of white wine and champagne and one of my learning curves from work is that the further I go from Sydney, the harder it is for people to understand me. So here I am, on the microphone trying to get everyone organised. he he what a laugh. Anyway it was all good and after proposing a toast and getting the cake cut, my part was done.

It was a nice day with most people camping on the farm or surrounding properties and there were a few sore heads in the morning!
