Well it's now been just over a week since Mark & I elope and got married on Long Island in the Whitsundays. I was hoping the photos would be here by now so I could put some on my blog but they haven't arrived yet.
It was such a nice simple day.....the setting was lovely, the weather gorgeous and the celebrant, photographer and duty manager all did such a wonderful job making sure that it was the perfect wedding. I thought I may have felt funny, not having family there, but we ended up getting Mum, Dad, my brother Scott and kids to ring and they were on speaker phone so they could all listen in (that was a special touch).
The rest of or time up there was just so relaxing. We spent 4 nights on Long island and then another in a resort at Airlie Beach. Our place was right up on a hill so we could sit in the lounge or our balcony and the best views of the harbour with all the boats moared there. You couldn't help but be relaxed. We hade some nice meals with some friends of Mark's who were up that way as well. And I got to catch up with some long time family friends of ours that I've known since I was 6yo but hadn't seen for about 12 years. They own the Hog's Breath restaurant up there.
Mark just loves it up that way and would move there in a heartbeat if he could. I also would. The prices of land are just a bit too expensive, but one can dream. We're hoping to get back there next year with the kids and maybe Mum & Dad & my brother and his family. We're going to start saving right away.
Will post some wedding photos when they arrive from the photographer.
