Looking at those skies i reckon you missed a slot in this years club calendar by not getting your wheels wet Ben .

The low down shot of LJ on the sand gets my vote for a calendar pic.

 

[Ben]

Hey Ben, have you not got a little announcement to make?

 

[StarCruiser]

He might be a bit busy Chas. Give the fella time…perhaps?

 

[Ben]

Hey Ben, have you not got a little announcement to make?

Oh yeah, I got married.

It was an amazing day, very relaxed and personal.

We got to Tassie a few days before the wedding and we hired a ute (or pick up truck if your not in Oz)





Not a bad thing to drive but visibility at the front is terrible so I would hate to drive one off road. The edges of the bonnet actually slope up!



We got everything setup the day before the ceremony and I finished it off on the morning of the big day.







As we wanted all our guests to be able to have a good drink and not have to worry about driving, we booked a big coach and had a few pick up points in and around the city.

The ceremony went very well and we had about 75 family and friends there with us.













After the ceremony we had an hour with our guests where we drank a few slabs of beer and a dozen bottles of champagne.

Then everyone got back on the coach and went the 5 minutes up the road to Brookfield where we had the reception in an old apple shed.

Inside the party was getting started!

With a free bar and plates of pizza coming in regularly thanks to our awesome wood fired pizza guy.



There were lots of pissed people having an amazing time!











A few short speeches and lots of alcohol later and it was midnight and the coach was there to pick us all up!



It was a bloody awesome day and night and everyone had such a great time.
