On Saturday night, Jason and I attended the wedding of my uncle Ian, and his long-time partner Karen. It was a small but beautiful affair of about 20 guests. The ceremony and reception were held at the Church on Palmer. Kristen (Ian's daughter) played the violin during the ceremony, and Karen's grandchildren, Lakita & Drazic escorted the couple down the 'aisle' and handed over the rings at the appropriate point in time.
While Ian and Karen were signing the register, Kristen payed a bit more violin, but had inadvertantly left her case open (like a busker). I jokingly dared Jason to throw some money in. And what does he do. Yes, you guessed it. Everyone thought it was so funny, including Karen's family, whom we were yet to meet.
The food was beautiful. Jason and I both had the chicken and mushroom parcel for entree, and rib eye fillet for mains, with a chocolate mousse stack for dessert. All very yummy, and by the end I was pretty stuffed (the combination of red wine could have helped with that too).
Kristen and her brother Theo finished the night with a duet. Kristen sang and Theo played the guitar. I can't remember what the song was, but they did a great job.We ended up leaving early due to Jason's lingering flu, but it was a great night.
