Wedding Shells

Sunday was a first for us in being invited to an open air wedding. One of our classmates got married on the beach and many of us students travelled there to give her a suitable send off. In true Shari style (she studied Dance at univeristy before coming to Eastwest) the whole bridal party danced up the Aisle in a carefully choreographed routine it was led by the flower girl and we all thought - "so sweet" but as each bridesmaid followed we realised we were in for a treat. By the time the Bride and her father joined in it was quite a show. Nobody noticed that Shari had no shoes on but then she was wearing a full length dress. She also had a pair of flip flops for the photos! (Jandals they are called in Kiwi dialect, short for Japanese Sandals)
We had a lovely time the rain held off, and we ate all the wedding cake while the bride and groom had their pictures taken on a rickety jetty out at sea. The cake had two shells on it representing Paul & Shari - now that would have saved me a lot of worry when I made Miriam's decorations. We wonder if this island is the honeymoon location..
