Alastair & Jessica's Wedding
The trip to Dunedin for Alastair & Jessica's wedding had been planned for the past few months and when it came to crunch time, the weather proved to be against us. As we experienced heavy fog on the Friday night, Sophia's flight from Wellington couldn't land and had to turn back, and it was just too dangerous for us to drive down as well so we were all stuck in Christchurch.
It was so unsettling not knowing whether we would make it down to Dunedin that weekend. Good thing was that the fog cleared the following morning, poor Sophia took the earliest possible flight out of Wellington which managed to land, and then we were off.
Seeing as we knew that we would never make it in time for the church wedding at 10:30am, we had a breakfast stop in Timaru - Sophia and Justin opted for KFC (how can someone eat KFC at 10:15 in the morning?!) and I opted for the more appropriate, McDonald's breakfast. *aHeM*!
We finally arrived in Dunedin at around 1:00pm and headed straight to Meridian Mall to shop for Justin's shoes. While we were there, we bumped into some of the wedding attendees (who were so smartly dressed, I might add) and of course, all the cameras and cellphones with photos of the church ceremony came out. It was such a shame we missed it. I'm so sure that I would have cried. But thank goodness we made it for the dinner reception.
With 5 1/2 hours to kill after our arrival into Dunedin, Sophia and I were joined by Rafik and Howard the whole day - catching up in our hotel room at the Scenic Circle - Dunedin City and over coffee/fries at Black Dog. We even went to buy alcohol for our supposed after party and then finally, we spent over an hour getting dressed for the wedding dinner reception while the boys started on drinks. Of course we took the classic, before attending ball sort of photo... Hehe~
The dinner reception was held at The Savoy. What an awesome time we had! We ended up being known as the "moral-less table" simply because of all the dirty jokes that we entertained ourselves with. Friends could only remember 2 things - Table 11 and Room 714. *WiNk*! But honestly, that's what made it fun, right guys? Hah! Will never forget the classic moments...
Now, let me introduce you to the people at table 11. There's...
There was also another couple sitting at our table but I didn't really know them and they were far too quiet. Hehe! I think they enjoyed just listening in anyway and every now and then had the odd snicker or two. :P It's a wonder how we were so comfortable making a fool of ourselves in front of them though. Haha...
So who else was there?
Most importantly though, the dinner reception... I apologise for the photos being slightly dark (cuz I forgot which function to use on my camera and i'm too lazy to use photoshop) but as they say, better than nothing!
Introducing...
Some may call this a symbolic photo. Those who know, will know. Hehe!
And that my friends, was Alastair & Jessica's special day... What I was present for anyway.
