WEDDING PIC's (at last!)

We went to our 'dive trip' reunion and finally got some pictures of the wedding from the other folks on the trip with us : >. They didn't know that I had accidentally deleted 'all' the photos from my camera. So now, thanks to Rob and Rachelle (our witnesses), John and Holly, Dave and Leann, Jerry, Terry, Colette, Jacquie, Heather and last but not least Michael from the Scuba Utah trip we have our photos. The staff at the Garden Island Resort (Ngaire and Dennis Irwin managers) were absolutely WONDERFUL the entire week and we especially want to thank them for making our wedding such a terrific event for us!!! Thanks to everyone! The dive crew were TOP NOTCH and we saw many amazing and beautiful things under water all week long. The housekeeping staff did a fabulous job of running the place! Food was great, and the rooms always neat and clean. The things done for the wedding were beyond words~!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you all!!!! Enjoy...
First a little of the underwater scenery, thank to the terrific photography works of several of the Dive Masters on our adventure





Yours truly floatin' underwater


This picture is a little too small to see all the lovely little christmas tree nudibranchs in their variety of color resting on the coral. As you can tell by the few pictures here, the colors were spectacular!


And now for the wedding. This is our wedding mat and arch prepared for us by the local Fijian people on Taveuni. We got to keep the wedding mat and still have the mat and will display it at home!


The vows with the Minister, Esala Nasaroa. He is such a wonderful man, and this bride was moved by his sweet nature in delivering the wedding vows. It was very obvious that he enjoyed doing weddings, and loved what it represented...


Jimmy (one of the dive masters) Minister Nasaroa and yours truly after the big event.


Ngaire and Dennis who organized the event (I'm sure like most weddings, I know who does the MAJOR work!). It was lovely and hopefully I'll get a copy of the wedding cake picture. Ngaire made a traditional fruit cake from their native New Zealand. It was delish! I usually am not fond of fruit cake, but this was extraordinare!


The entire crew from Scuba Utah at the wedding : >


The Dancing and Celebration!!!


Jay pays homage (just kidding). We do thank everyone for a wonderful wedding!


I plan to put a few more photos up in a different post of more of the diving and the WONDERFUL crew there.
