Oz Trip Second Day – An Aussie Wedding

It was Saturday, the sun was out of bed and at its dazzling shinning best by 7am. We slowly pulled ourselves out of our warm beds. We had to dress up for the wedding.

Eugene came to pick us up soon after 9. the Church wedding was to be held at St.Joseph’s College, in Hunter’s Hill Sydney. St.Joseph’s is a Catholic School for boys and only old boys had the privilege of holding their weddings there. The church itself needed no decoration as its architecture and stained glass windows were a sight to behold. Not long after, the ceremony started and Su walked down the aisle with her dad (Un Daniel). The service was brief and sweet, and soon we were out in the sunshine taking photos.

The Wedding Lunch was to follow and it was held at the Sydney Opera House. They had a marquee tent just outside the famous landmark, that had a fabulous view of the harbour bridge. Inside the tent, we found our seats which were easily identified by name tags. It was to be a long lunch, spanning the whole afternoon. We were served three delectable main courses, and were entertained by speeches from both fathers and the best man, serenaded by the Robinson Brothers who do Bee Gees quite well and laughed at the jokes from the MCs (brothers of the bride and groom). It was sunset at the harbour when the event ended.

The day did not end there. The younger crowd adjourned to the Argyle, a hip looking bar at the Rocks, while my parents and uncle settled for coffee somewhere else. Eugene gave us a lift back to our inn sometime after midnight, but not before we got a glimpse of Su’s bridal suite at the Shangri-la.
