First wedding experience
Thanks to the generosity of Hien Nguyen I was able to experience and learn at a wedding yesterday. I learnt heaps and heaps ..lots of things to think about. It was hard work, but lots of fun..
Here is a pictorial story of the journey
1. A hint of the dress at the Brides place
2. Shoes and flowers…
3. Bags are essential ..least till you can’t find them later 
4. And beautiful, classic jewellery
5. Bridesmaids need dresses too
6.Photographers climb about 
7. To take photos of beautiful brides
8. Bride and Bridesmaids pretty excited !
9. Arriving in style
10. So much in love..
11. And very happy
12. Bread was not the only fayre ..tables looked very pretty too
13. Some of the guests were wacky
14. But the day was about these guys
