15 years!!!

Today Martin and I celebrated 15 years of marriage with a trip to West Lynn Gardens.

It's a lovely spot :-)

 We even saw (I think my first?) shining cuckoo/pīpīwharauroa :-)

And look - she walks!

as does he ;-)

I've been looking through some photos of our wedding day and wanted to share these favourites.  Everyone looks so young!

I arrived in a sedan chair from a prop hire company - it'd been made for Xena!
The carriers were Martin's cousins Andy and Geoff and my friends Wayne and John.

Spotting Martin (with my brother and sister-in-law at the right).

Martin borrowed his Grandma's chair for use as we left the service.

Resting before going to the photo shoot.

Getting carried to the toilet (and using it in the tiny cubicle) was a challenge with all that dress!

 

The wedding party.
Back row is Jo, Anna and Sarah (all friends from university), Martin, Josh (university friend), Steve (friend from church) and Stephen (school friend who flew in from the US!)
Front is me with Heather and Aimee (two of the girls in my 'almost family').

I'd been doing poorly at the time, but the night before had slept amazingly well.  All day long I felt like I was walking on air.  Thanks be to God; and thanks for 15 very good years together :-)
