Dearest Alex took to the isle for the first (and surely only) time. Congratulations darlin’, Quite literally she was whisked away by her Knight in shining armour. Mrs Knight. Call me a sap but I love a good old wedding to brighten up an otherwise miserable cloudy day. She wore one stunning Collette Dinnigan number in an intimate ceremony at Crown Plaza Terrigal.I had the best date in the house Mr Harpley Bazzar or ; The Count Aaron Harpley- Carr as he is officially known to most. The ceremony was short, unlike my dress which you can see below in the ‘Gypsy’ post. Everything about the wedding felt genuine. From the personal touches of the guest singers at the ceremony to the floral arrangements, some looking fresh picked from nanas over indulged garden. Bless!
When we weren’t taking care of the sushi platters being tray passed we were ogling this special touch typewriter. There isn’t a sweeter way to wish the Knights well than to hand type a little message on a machine which has long seen its used by date. Only sweeter would be hand scribble message with a parchment and ink/ feather pen combo. However that would have been some messy, and I am not known for my neat hand. After playing on said typewriter I am convinced that had I been born into the right era, I would have spent my days typing my little heart out. Though I don't quite know if my blog would flourish in such an environment where each posting would be individually typed to loyal readers, sans spell check and sent via courier pigeon or the legendary postman pat. I can really appreciate that the ceremony and following canapé service were open for all, while the actual reception was reserved only for the bridal party, parents and grandfolks in a sheek set up in The Hunter Valley. We are told the clouds are every wedding photographers dream in capturing the day and the light drizzle is a sign of good luck for the marriage itself. I suppose…after torrential rain at my parents wedding and having to settle for photos in the church only, they still seem to be going on after more than 20 years, so this is one good luck myth ill gladly believe. And nothing encourages you to reassess your own single existence than seeing such beautiful others making a life changing commitment to one another. One things for sure though, if Im lucky enough to find that amazing madness that is ‘love’, I'm having type writers, Polaroid cameras and a band that knocks out some killer old school rock hits at my dream wedding*.
*note; dream wedding may or may not be on the cards for everyone. And that's what cats and amazing girlfriends are for. :)
