My sons wedding yesterday
« on: March 20, 2021, 09:57:47 pm »
Tom & Jemma got married yesterday on the beach, huge day we have had over 8" of rain here and the whole East coast of Australia is flooding (we're ok) and there wasn't a drop of rain for the entire ceremony or for the dinner and the rest of the night it was truly a magical afternoon and night...so tired today though.
They cancelled their wedding last year 48 hours before the day when the government shut down all weddings due to Covid, so a year later they are now married!

Being able to share this with my worldwide friends is really wonderful and this friendship and fellowship that I feel with you all is more than just the interest that we share in this hobby, you are friends.

What a beautiful daughter-in-law you have gained Jim .... and a fine spouse for your son!

I feel honored to have you share such a deeply personal family occasion and have me "included", as it were.

May the lovely couple share a full and wonderful life together!!!

Congratulations to them and to you for having raised them and prepared them for their future lives, Jim.

Dennis it rained non stop f0r 48 hours before and then about an hour before the ceremony it stopped and didn't rain for around 3 hours and its rained then ever since non stop. There's massive amounts still predicted tomorrow. We were truly blessed that it wasn't rained out.
