The Morning Before

| Things were pretty fraught - we had worked hard to try
and organise people's trip over and organise the wedding
after only visiting the venue the once, only 5 weeks before.
Things had come together and the Hayman staff had been
great in doing all the last touches. My suit had arrived
from Brisbane but without any shoes! So a drama ensued
about whose I was going to wear. We said goodbye to each
other in the morning and that was it. The next time we
would see each other would be at the altar. Scary. |

| The Ceremony |
|
|
| The ceremony went well, although I had to stay at the
altar for 5 minutes staring out over the Whitsunday Passage
whilst Holly turned up. I was not allowed to turn around
until she was by my side and it seemed like a lifetime.
Holly looked gorgeous and I was feeling nervous as she
realised when she held my hand which was dripping with
sweat. We had written the ceremony ourselves on Magnetic
Island, but for 5 minutes we did not really know it was
happening. I fluffed my lines only once by declaring I
would take Holly as my "wawful leaded wife".
Colline, our celebrant, had organised a candle ceremony
and Jono and Deb did a reading each. Everyone signed the
Marriage Certificate and we were ready for champagne and
some cake-cutting on the balcony. |

| The Evening |
| After the ceremony, the drinks on the balcony and the canopes
at The Beach Pavilion, we moved on to a private room in "La
Fontaine" where we had a beautiful dinner. Unfortunately,
as a most of us were worst for wear at this point, I don't seem
to have any photos of the occasion, although we had the video
running (out of focus) all night. We then moved on to the Full
Moon Party where we had a shaky dance. We had planned this day
to be on the full moon, so it was great to be on the beach under
the moonlight at the end of the night. |
