Un-Wedding Album 1
Since I don't have photos of the food yet, I'm going to do another post soon with more party details, and will show some of the Wildlife Park images Bob took, they're amazing! The party on Saturday was a blast, and it was so nice to wake up Sunday, eat a decadent breakfast (cheesecake) while our guests wandered in and out, and then spend another day with most of you. After the Wildlife Park we went for a dip in the river at the local swimming hole, and had another big dinner on Saturday's leftovers. So hard to say goodbye to you all Sunday night/Monday morning, but what an unforgettable weekend! |
August was a VERY busy month for us since the UnWedding long weekend, and I'm stunned that Labour Day long weekend has come and gone already. Sorry for the delay in getting party pictures posted. Richard and I were a little too busy to take any ourselves. Many thanks to Bob, Gudrun and Dagny whose great photos are featured here. If you've got some good shots of the party, the trip to the Wildlife Park, or the food – surely someone photographed Richard's food?? – please e-mail them soon!

We're so happy you had a great time. We sure did! So much so, in fact, that we're going to make the August long weekend an annual event, a sun-soaked long weekend camp-out BBQ open house, without the UnWedding part, of course. (I think Richard has the menu planned already!) We hope those of you who couldn't make it can join us next year. We missed you. I can't thank everyone enough for coming, for helping out, for making this event truly magical. |

The day dawned cool and sunny, perfect weather.
The UNbridesmaids decorated the tables beautifully.
I took a moment to chat and relax at lunch.
Great to see our friends getting to know each other.
Three of the eight visiting princesses.
Cute face, killer aim with a squirt gun.
Uncle Rick, where'd my slurpee go?
Richard's salsa and some sushi kicked off the foodfest.
Party favours: bubble mix, paper fans, & water pistols.
Now it looks like a dining hall!
One great toast after another…and prime rib, turkey roll,
smoked salmon, salad bar, sundae bar, cheesecake…
We set the stage with music, flowers and candlelight,
and then out came the squirt guns.
I missed this battle, distracted by cheesecake, mmm.
Richard had so much fun!!
Thank you everyone who made it (50 people including kids, wow). It was wonderful to look around the room and see so many of our loved ones. So wonderful in fact that Richard choked up too much to finish his speech. I think he put most of what he wanted to express into his food, though, don't you agree?Posted by anita at September 5, 2007 2:31 AM

Heya - we are still on vacation (had a grandson over the August long weekend, btw) but tell Richard we were at Burning Man in Black Rock City Nv and parked beside a Unimog for the whole week. Cool to see it irl.
Glad you guys had fun, sorry we couldn't be there (and we didn't even name the grandson after you guys ;-)
