Here are a few pictures I took on the wedding day.
The girls dressed in a little cottage on site. We rented this venue for the weekend and all stayed in and around the house. The big house, the cottage and the shearers quarters, all jam packed!
The girls shoes and the boys shoes. In New Zealand you remove your shoes before going into a house.
We have a tradition in my family that the groom and his men wear very odd odd socks.
I did a speech. It was a collection of telegrams from some of our family who could not be there. It was a good speech I think.
Married. Of course there are more beautiful pictures but they are up to the bride and groom to release.
Tomorrow my daughter and I will jump into our considerably lighter rental car and we will drive back to Wellington. She leaves for Aussie on Tuesday and I follow suit on Wednesday. Almost time to go home. Almost.
New Zealand farm pictures next! I have found a whole herd of Dutch Belted cows just out of Wellington and hope to take some shots of them too.
I hope you all have a lovely day.
Your friend on another farm,

Just beautiful C. You are so lucky to have another beautiful daughter in law!
Can’t wait to get back to the farmy though and see what’s been going on!
Squeeze every last bit of love out of these last few days.
Feel exactly the way the others feel: grateful for the peek into a whole different world yet anxious to get back to the critters all.
*romantic sigh*
Love the colors; I love your points of view. Loved the photo of the bride and groom, their backs, arms slipped in together; dear, dear photo; I wish them a splendid life!
Wow
Echoing everyone else…love the blues, a much better idea for each to choose the colour and style that suits them, instead of all the bridesmaids being stuffed into peach satin! Love the bride in her flat sandals and glam gown. Shoes get left outside here too, I learnt to do this in India, when you never know what you’ll bring indoors on your shoes. Looking forward to seeing the herd of Dutch Belteds. I’m missing Boo and the others, but won’t wish you home again just yet, you still have much mama loving to do.
Lovely pictures! And the color scheme was so soft and beautiful!
Well, I for one would have loved you to have had another week in New Zealand but what must be must be! Love the offbeat photo gallery . . . the happy relaxed atmosphere travels well!!! The ‘shoes off on entry’ is oft used in my neck of the woods also . . . . .
Love the colours of the dresses, and they clearly had beautiful weather – though the hills do look dry. It sounds a very happy event, well worth travelling for. Take a big breath of warm air before you plunge back into the cold of the farm.
nice picture 🙂
Beautiful photos/compositions. You have the eye, Ms. C 😉
Rows of empry shoes have a very weird look in that they lose any sense of contemporaneity….could be from today or long ago…love the last picture.
This photo essay is beautiful in its detail and storytelling. We get a true sense of the wedding with a limited number of images. Well done, my dear.
I just love the colors of the dresses and what a beautiful venue. The name cards with lavender are perfect!
Just beautiful Celi. The shot of the dress, lavender and house is superb 🙂
