A truly unique wedding

Modern Wedding Posted: December 7, 2010

>I was in the middle of writing my post for today and... 'ding' my email rang out, only the hundredth time today, fortunately it was one of the good emails! Blushing bride, Kylie sent me her wedding story. After reading about her gorgeous and wonderfully unique wedding I had to share it! You will have to wait for my other post....
This is Kylie and Justin's story... beautiful!

We got married on Hayman Island on our 10 year anniversary, after meeting at a local bar, just after I finished school! 45 of our friends and family came, from as far away as Scotland, Germany and England. The wedding, essentially lasted the whole weekend and the actual reception didn't finish until 3am in the morning!
 
 
My Grandma and Great Aunt stood as our witnesses, which we through was fitting because we were so happy to have them make all the effort to travel so far!
We had the ceremony at 3pm, and cut the cake straight after. Our guests then went and had champagne and canapes for a couple of hours and we were back from photos in time to have a drink with them and watch the sunset, before the reception dinner started.
 
The dinner was on a terrace by a beautiful lagoon/waterfull and was a buffet, and everything (particularly the deserts!) was phenomenal. It was like sitting in a fairy grotto! 

 Our bomboniere were a big hit - we had boxes filled with Aloe Vera, berocca, panadol, sunscreen, tissues, chewing gum and a mini-torch, so everyone could make their way back to their rooms!

 Post-dinner, we hired out one of the bars on the island, for drinks and dancing. It had a pool table, darts, fuseball, a cocktail menu, DJ and a dance-floor, so everyone was catered for! We finally finished up around 3am, though rumor has it that much of the bridal party was seen on the beach watching the sunrise for a morning swim!

What a beautiful wedding with distinctive differences - that is what makes a wedding so memorable!
