Mikey and Ruth's wedding

On Saturday Mikey and Ruth got married just outside of Dunedin at a place where Ruth spent many happy holidays as a child.

The sun shone and kept shining for the whole day and the weather was unseasonably warm.

Mikey and Ruth's Mum's spoke at the beginning of the ceremony and welcomed them into each others family's. As part of the 'Support Crew', Sian along with Carla and Liz spoke about Ruth and Mikey as a couple and as individuals. It was an unusual but extremely moving ceremony topped off by Mikey and Ruth speaking about why they loved each other.

Here are a few pictures to capture the spirit of the day for everyone who couldn't make it.

The new BBQ king

No man can come to Oz and not BBQ so Iain took Freddie under is wing and showed him how it is done!
Ps. That is a flipping burger not some ugly tash Iain is now growing!

The Dunn's down under

On New Years Eve some two of our great friends from home, Lucy and Simon arrived along with their little boy Freddie. Freddie was a couple of weeks late when he was born so Iain and I missed him as we were already on our trip in the States.

Since they have been here we have spent many fun days on the beach and today we actually got Freddie in the sea.... which is interesting as he hates being in the bath! (baby logic I suppose).
