The Usual Suspects

We are so grateful to our family and friends who helped us out in so many ways leading up to and on the day. It was the best wedding present of all:

Anthony and Troy (AKA Bird and Hunter-Drizzt). These guys were great. They spent a whole day helping clear dead wood from the property, literally uncovering a brown snake in the process, then were back the following week for setting up pavilions, tables, chairs, a sound system, a disco room... they were even found mopping up spilled drinks on the disco floor later in the evening.

Leisa and Carolyn. Apart from lending us their charming and very useful husbands for several days, this dynamic duo also created the beautiful sign that greeted our guests as they entered the property.

Mum, Dad, Aunty Leisa, Paul: these guys were on call for cleaning, food preparation, sign hanging, running errands, setting up on the day, and picking up the groom whenever he fell in a heap. Lucky they didn't charge an hourly rate!

Anne-Marie and John (pictured here with their son Anthony) helped with setting up on the day, including trimming all the flowers, moving bits of furniture around, and did an amazing job washing and packing up on Sunday morning before heading back to Grassy Head.

Preparing nibbles to eat by the dam: Thank you Kathy, Tosha, O'Leisa and all the other helpers.

Reception Time

We couldn't trust the barbecue to just anyone, we needed experts. Many thanks to Steve, Miles, Anthony and Roman, and their long suffering barbecue widows, Nicola and Allison.

Thank you to all of you, we really appreciate your generosity!
