You may give your kisses to the MRS!!!!!
Our ceremony was simple, relaxed, funny and PERFECT!
It reflected who Jr and I are as a couple. We wrote our own special vow
s, shared a promise poem we wrote together, he put the ring on the wrong finger, we laughed, we cried... just perfect I tell you!!
At the Sheraton on Hastings Street, they had a beautiful white pergola and lilly pond. It was fantastic, everyone kept dry, yet it still felt like we were outdoors with the beautiful white shutters that let all the natural light in (still very noosa-ry, which was the aim even with the wet weather).
Junior, his son (Kyan ring boy - without the rings), sister (Nyota my beautiful flower girl - she knows how to work the camera) and parents all walked up the boardwalk then through to the aisle. With Angus & Julia Stone 'Mango Tree' playing in the background...all the groomsmen met their bridesmaid at the top of the boardwalk to walk them down (a little different from the the bridesmaids walking down by themselves). Once everyone was in place, my Dad then walked me down the path....the walk seemed so long and I couldn't wait to see Junior. It wasn't until I was half way up the aisle, he finally turned around to see me and it was an incredible moment. I think we just wanted to talk to catch up on the last day of not seeing each other, but, we managed to hold it together to share some very special words.
Jackie Smith was our marriage celebrant, from The Wedlock Smith. She has been such a close friend to me for the past 4 years since we met in college. I can't even explain how amazing it was to have someone who has known Jr and I as a couple since day one, to make our marriage official and share the moment with us. She was incredible and made the ceremony very light, funny, and loving. Thanks Jac! xx
As Jr, myself and the bridal party walked around for the photos, it all seemed very natural. We had some great moments that Bayleigh captured. I was worried about my beautiful gown 'sloshing' in the wet ground, but soon got over that. Once we hit the beach I ran down to the sand and really felt comfortable in the moment, having a blast with Junior. It's funny ever since we booked Noosa for the wedding (it was only the reception venue that led me to this decision), I never wanted a 'beachy beachy' wedding, so I surprised myself when I got down to the sand! In that moment, the sun peaked through the clouds and created an incredible rainbow!
We headed to the busy hastings street (not sure if I even had shoes on at this point). We headed to the middle of the road...as cars came passed they beeped and congratulated us....most cars stopped to join in the fun and had a chat. No one was bothered at all that we had stopped traffic to take some shots. Noosa was just great and the rain was just FUN!
We made our way to the reception, where the bridal party made some interesting choices of how to enter...more on that soon!
For now, enjoy the ceremony & Noosa locations. I think Bayleigh did a wonderful job as always and the photos reflected the moment perfectly.
Party time - Part Three is next!! xx
