Anne, one of the vet nurses coming over for the recent spay and neuter clinic, brought her fiance Derek as they wanted to get married in St Lucia. They wanted a simple ceremony, not the lavish kind of thing that takes place in hotels here, so I offered the use of the gazebo in my garden.
They wanted a St Lucian ceremony (which they got, with knobs on - see the cake ceremony below) and also wanted my St Lucian friends and neighbours to be invited.
I roped in Catherine to decorate the gazebo, Pam made the cake, Ken lent his windchimes, Pat cut the coconut branches and bamboo and Vel and Merle helped when I ran out of time for food preparation. A real community effort, as most things are here, and very much appreciated by Anne and Derek.
As I was, kind of, overseeing operations I missed out on some photo opportunities but hope you will enjoy the ones below and forgive me for the ones I missed. I also took a brief video of the exchange of vows but couldn't get this to load on Blogger.
It was a truly magical occasion, which I hope will come across in the pictures.
