Wedding Morning

After a restless nights sleep, I'm sitting here, on the bed whilst the hair and make up production line kicks into full swing. Yup, this is wedding morning, and the primary reason that K and I came to Perth - Angela and Greg's wedding.
The weather isn't too great at the moment - had some showers about an hour ago, but the forecast is that things will clear up this afternoon. I hope so for Angie's sake, as the ceremony takes place at King's Park, which overlooks Perth and the Swan River. Its a great setting, but could get quite chilly if the weather doesn't clear. We're holding thumbs Ang.

Had a great day yesterday - Ann, K and I caught the train into Perth, and then jumped on another that took us to Fremantle, or "Freo" as the locals would say. Freo reminds me a bit of Melville in SA, with that arty, student feel about it. Its loaded with history, and we decided to take a tour of the Fremantle Prison, which was just fantastic. It was used from around 1855, through to 1991, was built by the convicts over a number of years, and although not at first, it eventually became the maximum security prison in Western Australia, and was the scene of some 44 executions. Really interesting to see the solitary confinement cells and gallows, and to think that up until 15 years ago, this was all very real.

And no, there is no subliminal intent in starting this post off talking about wedding days, and ending it with a description of a prison. Its just coincidence that it worked out that way :-)

My duties for the day:
a). Make sure that I get to Kings Park on time
b). Get ice for the drinks bag
c). Drop drinks bag off at Frasers, for tram trip
d). Get as much of the ceremony as possible on film

I think that's about it. Hope so.

Off with Annie now - the production line is slowly chugging away, and this is no place for a man to be. I'll rush in later, shower, change, shave - and make my way to Kings Park.

We're in for a great day.
