Beautiful Mountain Gardens Wedding

When I first met Tamara and Josh, they told me they had fallen in love with Mount Tomah Botanic Gardens in the Blue Mountains, near Bilpin and wanted to make their vows there, followed by a reception at home. Their wedding was held on a perfect spring day and was the prettiest wedding you could imagine.  The wedding party was a picture, with Tamara in white with pink and white flowers, and her bridesmaids in soft pink.

They chose a reading A Lovely Love Story  from the whimsical writings of Edward Monkton.  The first few paragraphs are;
"The fierce Dinosaur was trapped inside his cage of ice. Although it was cold he was happy in there.  It was, after all, his cage. Then along came the Lovely Other Dinosaur.  The Lovely Other Dinosaur melted the Dinosaur's cage with kind words and loving thoughts. I like this Dinosaur, thought the Lovely Other Dinosaur. Although he is fierce he is also tender and he is funny. He is also quite clever although I will not tell him this for now. I like this Lovely Other Dinosaur, thought the Dinosaur. She is beautiful and she is different and she smells so nice.  She is also a free spirit which is a quality I much admire in a Dinosaur."......................

Husband and Wife - sealed with a kiss!

First stroll as husband and wife.

Josh's two brothers were his groomsmen - it was a bit hard to pick them apart!

Here's a note I received from Tamara and Josh after they returned from their honeymoon.

"Hi Elaine,

Our honeymoon was great fun and an experience to remember. So many places and all so different to one another.
