Unfortunately Adrian couldn't be at the wedding of his cousin Yvonne, because he had a plane to catch to Israel. He was very disappointed. Yvonne and Damien had asked Adrian if they could use his car as a wedding car and Adrian was looking forward to driving it for them. He rang from the airport while they were having photos taken to offer them his congratulations and to see how it was all going.
Nevertheless, his car was still used as a wedding car, only I drove it. Greg's (Yvonne's brother) car was also used so they had matching red SS's. Greg's SS (the one with the side on view in the twin shot) actually used to belong to Adrian until about 2 weeks ago when he sold it to Greg and bought the VE SSV. I had so much fun driving for them. Thank you to Yvonne and Damien in giving us the honour to be your chauffeur.
I just couldn't resist taking a photo or two of the car with the wedding ribbon attached. And of course with the Bride and Groom and the Bride and Bridesmaids.
While they were having family photos taken outside the church, Kaytie was roaming around everywhere with her walker, but she only wanted to go one way, the way she wasn't meant to go. Look at her, isn't she a picture in her beautiful yellow dress, tights and little white shoes and jacket. What a little cutie.
Starting from the left, this is a picture of Uncle Gerry, Aunty Margaret, Aunty Mary, Uncle Steve and Mum and Dad Klaster taken outside the church.
From there Greg and I took them to the Main Street of Berwick to have some photos taken. Here I met some lovely people from Damien's side that came along to feed everyone nibblies, beer and champagne. They chose some awesome places. The photos are going to look so good. Yvonne and Damien looked so happy and it shows in the photos. Here are some of the photos I snapped away on.
This is how the boys travelled.
They even went into the Berwick Pub and had photos taken in the bar.
These are just a couple of shots of the happy couple, having some fun with the positions they were put in for some of the photo shots.
From there it was back to their place in Beaconsfield to party on. I was told that you could hear when the wedding cars had brought the bridal party back to the house because they could hear the roar of the V8's rumbling through the room downstairs as the cars drove down the driveway. What an awesome sound that would be.
Damien and Yvonne had worked tirelessly leading up to their wedding to have their downstairs area built into a room to use for the party. Adrian had helped with this by pouring their slab. The whole lot came up fantastic. It looked great. Damien really entertained us with a speech that had the whole room in laughter. Damien and Yve, if you're reading this, I have passed on your thanks to Adrian that you gave him in your speech when he called from Israel tonight.
What a great wedding and party. No stuffiness and formalities of a traditional wedding reception. It was a party to be enjoyed and it reflected the personality of the couple. I left around 8.30pm to go to my children, but I know the party was going on to the wee hours of the morning.
Congratulations Yvonne and Damien and thank you for giving us the opportunity to share your special day. I speak on behalf of Adrian as well, even though he couldn't be there. I know he wanted to be.
