I went to dinner at the home of my son Danny and daughter-in-law Emily this week and was delighted to see their "official" wedding photos are finally "out". Of course there were plenty of guests busily clicking away at the wedding at the Old Parliament House Rose Gardens last November, and at the reception at the Australian National University afterwards, and some great photos were taken. But I have to say the official photographer has done a fantastic job - including getting some excellent snaps of that all-important wedding typewriter!
This was by far and away the best wedding I have ever attended, and I've been to a few! The extent of Emily's flawless, meticulous organisation for her big day was absolutely extraordinary. She was obviously determined to make it an occasion that nobody would forget in a hurry, and she succeeded, handsomely. She hadn't overlooked a single thing, as far as I could tell. Both the wedding and the reception were breathtaking. Just as well I didn't forget to supply a typewriter.

I must also thank Marilyn James for her photos.
It was also fortunate I didn't forget to wear the Olympia typewriter tie

There were even typewriter-themed cupcakes

I would say, so father, so son! Happy marriage you two!
ReplyDeleteLooking good! I like the blue you're all wearing. Very stylish. And everyone looks superhappy! I hope it'll stay that way.

What a nice post by an obviously proud dad. And the photos were my pleasure. You can never have too many memories recorded of a special day. MJ
