However as you can see it was slightly different! My niece hails from a very small town in the middle of nowhere back home. She can also be a bit of a tomboy and very headstrong. There was no question as to where she wanted to be married and as to how.
The wedding took place in a paddock about 10 miles from the town next to railway line, with the reception being held in a shearing shed! Egads everyone is saying! What are they like down under?
However from the photographs, it looks fabulous. It is nice to see a couple who can throw some of the prevailing conventionality of a big budget wedding out the window and do it their own way with savoir faire!
I would say that such a wedding is the first sign that your niece will have a healthy and happy marriage. Best wishes and congratulations to them!
ReplyDeleteThey make a beautiful couple but it is a shame they could not afford the train fare to go on their honeymoon.

ReplyDeleteDavid, this wedding sounds wonderful. Big, over the top weddings are passe in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a country wedding.

Many thanks all for your comments. I like things that stretch the bounds of coventionality and these two did with flair!
