October the 25th was the date of a very special gig for me, which felt extra important as I had
been asked to play at the wedding of a long time family friend Mikhaela, at the Rhododendron Gardens just out of Burnie.
The venue held special significants to the bride growing up which was no wonder as ever little corner held a surprising spark of wildlife, vibrant colour or perfect views and tranquil beauty.
The path down to the waterside was perilous in high heels however, not to mention in my "slightly too long" vintage ball-gown and it took me three trips each way to cart all my gear, Harp, seat/props, and amp to find the spot where they wanted me to play. Once there, the atmosphere was uplifting and the the 90 odd attendants were an amazing audience. The groomsmen joked about forgetting sunscreen, and a band of frogs added their voices to the mingling crowds. Yet soon we all were silenced as,
the bridesmaids and then the bride herself, with a parent on each arm made it down the path, looking serene and incredibly stunning in the dress she made herself for the happy event.
A massive thank you to the family, bride and groom for having me, and all the best wishes to them! may you enjoy many many years together and look back on this day with joy.
Congratulations to Clint and Bethanie also, the spectacular photographers who captured every little moment with style
Congratulation..
