New Zealand - Pre-wedding activities

In the two weeks leading up to the wedding we had lots of things to do and lots of people to catch up with. It was great seeing eveyone and having our place overlooking the sea as a backdrop to all the organizing and socializing!

There is a lot to get through so this and the upcoming blogs will be light on words and heavy on photos. There will also be a bias toward my side of the family, for which I apologize and explain that it's only because I have got my hands on loads of photos that my brother and sisters took. We were so busy organizing and socializing that we didn't take many photos ourselves.

More photos from the blake-side are welcome (encouraged in fact) and will be published forthwith.

In fact ANYONE who has some good wedding pics,
please send them to us!


The view from our couch



The view with the camera flash on



Who needs TV



The Whanau Arrives
(Nina, mum and Jordan)




Shaun, Nina and Matt




Cuzzie Jordan looks pretty happy with his chocolate
(Cuzzie Flynn raises a starving hand)




The mums get on the booze





Daisy pretends not to notice and Bec looks away




Flynn sports the new accessory in toddler fashion
(A large forehead bruise from chair-leg-headbutting)





And gets amongst the heavily fur-rug lined couch





He scored a paddling pool and was lovin it!



It's a baby-frenzy!



Why you looking so guilty boys...?




Hey look, they've got turtles in NZ too!





We check out the wedding venue and have a rehersal lunch




The brothers




Lisa and Matty




Nina and Flynn




Matt, Nina and Mum






Flynn gives the premises the once-over



He raises a few issues but is generally satisfied
with the inspection
