Recently I have been doing some preparatory work for some weddings I will be involved with. I was searching for some words that could be used in the ceremonies and I came across a “box of stuff” from when I was preparing for my own wedding nearly 20 years ago.
Oh what a day! I still remember so many details like it was yesterday. Lists were hand written.

A working bee that lasted for a week in the lead up to the wedding day meant that many wonderful family and friends shared in so much detail of our day. Brooksy even pushed the pedal on the ELNA to stitch the spine of the wedding booklets.

HAPPY. And yes, I remember so much HAPPY throughout the whole day. There was a small sprinkle of rain in the morning that cleared away for the most perfect autumn day. Many Italians believe a small rain the morn of the wedding is a blessing and a good sign. I have always lived comfortably with that old wives tale….
I have always maintained that our wedding day was the best day of my life and was the perfect wedding, in my view! I so am glad it was. What followed was (and is) the hardest thing I have done. Marriage is the most complex, yet the most rewarding relationship, if you are prepared to put in the effort, one can have.
Just by the by – this is why I support and do whatever I can to ensure that same gender unions can and will be recognised in this country. Any person who choices to make a commitment to marriage has the right to do so, again, in my view!
I digress…. HOWEVER, as challenging and magical life commitment partnerships can be, it is worth every smile, stress, happy event, crisis, love and “don’t like you today” moments that are experienced. It is worth the effort.
Many have heard me say this before; “Tez is not perfect, I am not perfect – but we are probably perfect for each other “!
