Steve & Mel's Wedding

It was Friday, 14th November. The day for Steve and Mel to finally get married. After all, they've been together forever. They are such a perfect couple, it was only natural for them to tie the knot.

Steve is Adrian's cousin for those reading this that don't know.

This is Steve (left of photo) and Best Man Sean (Siera) waiting for Mel to arrive. Steve was a bit green around the gills, thanks to Siera the night before.


The beautiful and energetic bride, Mel and her father.

The following photos need no explanation.
Introducing the new Mr and Mrs Overdyk

This is Darren's car. They didn't want red, and given that Adrian's one of these was used in their last 2 family weddings. (are you drooling Darren???)

Adrian looked so spunky in his new shirt and tie so I just had to get a few photos. And I just love playing with my camera, any chance I get.

And of course I had to make him matching to me.

The happy couple.

The whole Overdyk immediate family. Just about need a wide angle lens to photograph this lot.
And of course the new addition... little Axel in Damien's arms. Very left of the photo. He was such a dream. Slept in the pram in the corner all night without a peep. So tiny and so very cute too. You've done well Yve and Damien.

The Bridesmaid Amy and Sean.

The Bridal Party.

Cutting the cake. My camera was tucked away in the camera bag under the table, cause I wasn't expecting this to happen. They did everything all arse about. They just walked in and then cut the cake. So I whipped my camera out, ran over and rushed a couple of quick shots. That really put the Canon EOS 40D to test. It started up and was ready to snap shot after shot within seconds. Even with setting the right settings.

The bridal waltz was done all out of order too, so again I whipped out the camera from under the table....

With enough time to see Mel kick off her shoes, turn to Steve and slip slightly on her dress....

As she did a running jump into his arms for the spin. Would you think anything less from Mel!!!



Again...Amy and Sean during the Bridal Waltz.
Mel with her new sister-in-law Laura. Laura is married to David, Steve's brother, for those that don't know. Laura is the one who did most of the wedding planning.

Mel and I

One of the other brothers, Joe who now lives in Sydney because of the Army and Adrian.

Guess what Steve is doing here???

This is obvious!!!
Check out Mel's face LOL

Check out the girl going the specky!!!!

This is on the bus trip home. Laura really loves me for this shot... not LOL! She's on the outside of the bus, I'm inside.

Can you tell we're all a bit drunk. This is also on the bus home. This is the other brother Greg.
Of course us hoodlems are sitting at the back of the bus where this photo was taken from to get the driver... Uncle Tony, but you can't really see him. Immediate left is Aunty Liz, mother of the groom.
And there the night ended and I only woke up with a slight head ache that soon went away with a couple of panadol and I was fighting fit for the rest of the day. Must'nt have drunk that much. Or maybe the night just didn't go on long enough, cause I was still ready to party when I got home. Instead we just ate some dim sims and went to bed.
