The Wedding

Well, the wedding came and went. It was a splendid event, the bride looked ephemerally beautiful, the groom triumphant, and Megan glowed like an iridescent peacock.

Even I scrubbed up for the occasion

Family were in abundance, so it was great to be at a gathering of our diverse and geographically spread clan.

After family, we had a chance to catch up with many old Sydney friends.

The ceremony was a simple and brief affair, held at St  Benedicts on Broadway. It was a lovely and small church, built in the 1840's,  one of the earliest Catholic churches in Sydney.
