Bride & Groom wave goodbye...

My sister Loretta has only one child, a son, Peter Gibbs. His wedding to Samantha on Mother’s Day drew a large family attendance, most of us travelling interstate for the occasion. The wedding was held in Sydney and apart from Benn who lives there, the rest of our family flew in from Queensland, Northern Territory & Northern New South Wales – oh, yes, and my daughter Kim flew in from Copenhagen. Pete is a very popular member of the family, and our attendance en masse was testimony to how loved he is, and how happy we all are with his choice of a wife. Sam is a delightful person and we wish them both a happy life ahead.

The wedding ceremony was held in a park under the Sydney Harbour Bridge, looking across to the Opera House. The reception was in a restaurant, also under the bridge and looking across Sydney Harbour to Luna Park. The night lights illuminated the bridge and the winking colourful lights from Luna Park added to make a pretty backdrop to the bridal table. It was great seeing the nieces & nephews dancing and catching up together, as this would be the first time this group have been in the same city at the same time. A fantastic wedding and family get together.
