Our Bride Christie on Saturday broke with tradition during her reception by being the first speaker at her and Ben’s wedding toasts. She spoke of love, family bonds and friendship as well as her hopes and dreams for the life that she and Ben would start to lead. She finished of her speech with a lovely sentiment that although I can’t exactly recall word for word, it went something like this, love is taking the day off from work together, holding hands during long walks by the beach, eating fish and chips together gazing over the ocean, coming home and not telling a soul what you did!
Ben and Christie celebrated their wedding vowels at the lovely Camilla gardens in Caring bah with the threat of rain looming but by the end of the ceremony the sun was shining and we had a picture perfect afternoon for photography. Christie and Ben are a really lovely couple who had met in high school and had been seeing each other for eight years before Christie accepted Bens hand in marriage. They chose the 15th of November because it was exactly 3000 days from the first day they met which I thought was very romantic.
Their reception was held at the fantastic Summer salt restaurant down at Cronulla which has the best food, most friendly staff and beautiful views around and they partied the night away with great sounds of their two piece band 2fold.
