For my Facebook fans (woohoo I have fans!!) this was the WINDY wedding I mentioned a couple of weeks back. The kind of wind that gets news coverage and leaves tree branches scattered all over my road. Wind is a tricky one, because whilst with rain you can hide under an umbrella and save your hairdo, wind will get you no matter where you try and hide. If you're expecting a bit of wind on your wedding day (or even if you aren't), pack a super-strong hairspray and about 300 extra kirby grips (hair clips) for your veil.
However, it does make for some sexy photos!! Sean and Sacha got married in St Joseph's Cathedral in Dunedin followed by a reception at The Dunedin Club. Which is a little tucked away gem that I only found as a result of this wedding. Sacha was a tad late for the ceremony (15 mins = tiny bit late, 40 mins = tad late, over an hour = worryingly late). This was in part due to a runaway wedding car - down a big hill!!! I don't have the full story but I think a bridesmaid leapt into said wedding car to save the day! I hope that's true.
Sean and Sacha have been together forever and are utterly comfortable with eachother - in a good way - and totally at ease infront of the camera. They are also muchos in love, mmmmmmmm.
LOTS of babies at this wedding...
Okay, (SIGH)... who gave Liana a baby??
Ahhhh. Thank you for being so lovely Sean and Sacha, speak soon.
In other, less cheery news... our Mother Duck is dead. If you aren't sure who I mean, you can see an image I posted of her when she first arrived here with her ducklings. I feel really sad about this. Steven noticed that she was looking a bit listless last night, and then this morning he found her at the back of the chicken/duck enclosure, and she'd died in the night. He thinks Hussein is responsible. Hussein and Mavis have taken over where the kray twins left off, and have apparently been bullying the ducks, even though the ducks are lovely sweet creatures and generally keep to themselves. Steven witnessed Hussein and Mavis attacking Mother Duck the other day... I don't want to point fingers but....
The rest of the ducks have now been moved to our new pond at the bottom of the land. I will pop out now and see if they are okay and post up a photograph. Poor duckies.....
