House Party
I met Geoff and Deb a couple of months ago, they were looking to escape the usual marriage madness indeed they were desperate to elope but as in the case of many families the 10 guests, family and friends, would have been devastated not to be involved. They decided that my home would be just right for the wedding formalities.
Geoff and Deb arrived armed with 10 guests, a photographer and a few bottles of champagne. As I performed their very personal ceremony I couldn’t help but feel that they were part of a much bigger family. There was not a dry eye in the house and so much laughter too. Thank you so much for sharing your special day with me.
After the ceremony the party continued across the road for some beach photos and then on into the city for dinner. I caught up with them the next day, and have founded a lovely friendship.
I would like to share their thoughts…
Hi Gillian,
Well, we arrived home safe and unfortunately back at work and straight into ‘married life’. It’s great! (married life not the work)
Whilst I know that we have thanked you, we both would like to once again thank you so very much for what you did for us, especially making available your home which was way beyond the ‘call of duty’. It certainly made us feel very special and made our wedding day even more so. Everybody thought that the ceremony was wonderful, fairly evident from the not a dry eye in the place, and whilst we had read it many times, it is not until you experience it that you realise how well you had personalised it and made it our own.
Meeting you again on Sunday when we had a chance to talk was also wonderful and I know that Deb really appreciated your thoughts and guidance. We both think that you are a very special person from the moment we first talked to you and nothing has changed since then, if anything, we both feel close to you for what you have done for us and that you are a beautiful person.
Deb and I are so looking forward to our next trip to Melbourne so that hopefully we can all get together for a dinner with a great red – it will definitely be our treat! Remember that you are always welcome in our home at any time.
Hope you had a great time with your daughter and grandchild which must be and have been a great experience for you.
Will definitely send some photos to you once we have received them.
With all our love,
Geoff & Deb xxx
