Wedding in Melbourne
from w
Last night Peceli and I attended a wonderful wedding party at Williamstown Town Hall when Saj married Katherine. The hall looked magnificent with about 300 guests and the bride and groom both looked happy and relaxed. Thank you to Doreen and Sam Sen, parents of the bride, for the organising - there were dancers, mekes, a Christian ceremony officiated by Peceli, tasty food, lots of conversation - with many people saying - this is like being back in Fiji. One picture is of three older Fiji gentlemen - they had been yarning enthusiastically in Hindi until I interrupted them to request a photo, then they just lined up formally! Some more photos are on the Geelong Visual Diary blog.

ReplyDeleteHello Sheez,
ReplyDeleteWasn't it a fine wedding and such a lovely couple.
How did you like the Russian girls doing the Indian dancing? Their first item was better than the second one I think.

Wow! The wedding is so beautiful. I once attended a friend's outdoor wedding and it is truly romantic. Their wedding ceremony and decorations really match their vision and budget. It's really memorable.
