The Bride Wore Black

 

Leann wore a very dramatic black gown, and sparkly things were a motif throughout the evening. Crystals replaced flowers in both bouquets and boutinieres

....and love shone all around. 

 

3 Weddings in 2012!

We attended a fantastic wedding last Tuesday in Melbourne. My third Australian wedding this year! (I guess if you stay long enough, you get to enjoy watching your new friends celebrate life milestones.)
On Tuesday evening, Rob and Leean got married, and it was great to be there to support them and join the party. Here's a look at some of the details.....

 

The menu..... (of course!)

 

Special red and black Smarties ordered from the States....

 

 

The very stylish place settings and Smarties to take home....

 

MeerCats and Elephants

So, since we're not really interested in horse races, or the big boozy shenanigans that happen at the Melbourne Cup on the Long Weekend, we found alternative entertainment. We went to the Zoo  with 2 very cool kids.

The Meercats were a highlight.

And the Elephant Sculpture display was alright too.



Summer is on its way!

It's getting hot enough to eat watermelon!

How Cool is Brunswick?

We were in Brunswick yesterday, just off of  Sydney Road.... a fantastic part of Melbourne where one can find heaps of great Lebanese food, Italian coffee and good eating and tasty local beer.
There's also some great graffiti:
