A Country Wedding

We have begun our annual fishing trip up to Bjelke Petersen Dam, some 3 hours from home, however after setting up with our caravan etc. we will be making our way to join other family for dinner at the Wondai RSL. It is great meeting up with them and we got the details for the wedding the following day.


 Time to head 'up country' and attend the wedding of Pete's nephew out on the bride's family property. It is some 40 min drive from our camp site, so a light lunch was had and we set off with Peter's brother and sister-in-law - made sense to take just one car. 

The 'homestead' and surrounding property looked lovely, and to make the day really good was the beautiful fine weather.


Time for the ceremony itself and everyone looked beautiful.




After this, there was a wonderful spread for afternoon tea.

It was then off to another property for a 'camp oven' wedding breakfast. Under a large outdoor area which was set up for the reception, we began with nibblies before we sat down to beautifully decorated tables.


The meal, having been cooked in massive cast iron camp ovens was of so tender and delicious.




We finished this wonderful meal off with the wedding cake made of the lightest sponge you have even had. It was a lovely idea to include the names of both sets of parents on it as well.

It was one of the loveliest weddings I have been to, so relaxed and no hassles with who should/should not sit near who that you usually get at weddings.

The following day Peter's sister and brother, along with their respective partners joined us for a barbeque lunch at the camp kitchen at the caravan park - it is not all that often that we all get together.


Here is Peter with his two siblings - L to R Peter, Wendy & Jonathon (Wendy and Jonathon are twins.)


From L to R: Peter & June (me), Colin & Wendy, and Jonathon & Bernie.

Time now to put our good clothes away and begin our time here out fishing. All will be told in the next posting.

'Til then,

June
