the windy city is a winner


Wellington turned on a perfect day for Catherine and Michael's wedding - sunny, low 20s and minimum wind. Guests assembled at Te Papa museum on the waterfront where we boarded a bus for the church at Johnsonville.

After the ceremony the happy couple drove off in a red Jaguar followed by two buses - skilled drivers required.
 
To the most amazing venue, Boom Rock,  perched on a cliff high above a huge flat sea.
 
It's a breathtaking view out over the wide expanse of Cook Straight and a great background for photos.

The wind was incredible,  as apparently it always is there, but it was hats and sunscreen rather than the Drizabones lined up in the hallway.
 
Drizabones for the rainy days
 
There's a golf course along the cliff and clay shooting for those interested.
 
Golf course - a hole-in-one has been known
 
Catherine and her bridesmaids looked gorgeous,
Bridesmaids in grey, school friends each end.
 
Michael was appropriately devoted, speeches were witty and not too long and the dinner was excellent; venison sausage rolls as nibbles were brilliant and NZ lamb racks melted in the mouth.
