The Wedding

The wedding was beautiful. The bride had the most amazing dress... it had a strapless black lace boustier on the top and she looked like a Hollywood star circa 1939. And she looked like she loved it - the dress, the wedding, everything.

The ceremony was heartfelt and personalized and the speeches were cute and funny. Everything you should want from a wedding. So there was this rumor that Australians don't dance until they're drunk and the place was kicking us out pretty early. So there was a lot of effort on my American friends' side to get the party pumping. I'm just not sure the bride even wanted/needed that kind of wedding.

It was a shame that we couldn't dance very long because the place kicked us out around 11? and we hadn't put on the dance music until maybe 9:30? And I worry that my compatriots stressed out about it and really took the music and dancing as their personal responsibility (but I think most the guests were having a good time). Anyways, it didn't seem to matter to the bride and groom who seemed blissfully happy.
