While we were in Belize our son Evan informed us that he and Stephanie were going to get married.
While this was a surprise it wasn’t altogether a shock.
They wondered if we could come home for ‘The Event’, as it became known.
We immediately booked a flight from LA to Melbourne.
This was a whirlwind visit, in more ways than one.
It turned out to be not just one event but two. The actual wedding ceremony on Tuesday night, followed by a party the following Saturday night.
There were only twelve of us for the ceremony, plus the civil celebrant, Jenny Bahramis, a long time family friend.
The party on Saturday was at the Hares and Hyenas in Brunswick.
This gay and lesbian bookstore also doubles as a venue and was an ideal location for the second event.
Both of these events were fun, creative and unique, a lot like Ev and Steph.
The main events were dispersed with a number of smaller events.
All in all it was a very hectic time and we fell back onto the plane, ten days later, completely exhausted but very happy – especially for Evan and Stephanie.
