Our 4th visit to our favourite place in the world so we decided 12 weeks ago to get married during our holiday. We are in our 50's and have been together for 24 yrs so decided to keep it simple. We will be having a 2nd ceremony later in the year (when the weather is good) in our back yard for our family and close friends. So I get to wear my dress twice. Beautiful day, I was escorted by Fijian warriors, a tradition to prevent the bride from running away! Then I travelled on a billi billi raft to where my husband was waiting. The warriors blow the conch shell every few seconds so everybody at the resort stop and watched and waved. Such fun. I chose "Baby, I need your loving" by the Four Tops as the song to play as I arrived across the lagoon which attracted everyone too. The ceremony was simple and we ended up with 2 official guests, a lovely older couple Haydn met at breakfast that morning and invited along. (We spent more time with them and they have now invited us to visit them up in sunny Queensland.) We kept it a secret, letting family know the night before and posting a picture of the rings with the lines "It's a beautiful day, we're looking for something dumb to do, Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you" (from Bruno Mars) on the morning of the wedding. It was simply the best day of our life and we are so happy with our beautiful photos. Our photographer managed to capture our brief - " lots of fun and laughter". I'm not really savvy with adding photos so I will add some more in another post in this thread. Corinne
