My veil was a length of fine mosquito netting on a pretty clip.A couple of Papua New Guineans were our best man and bridesmaid and the students put on a traditional feast for us as the reception.Our Mums in their seventies came out from England and Oz and so we had to take them on our few days honeymoon!!!! We had a shack on the beach and they had a shack further along the beach but we had to look after them.I have a great photo of them having a ride in a local dug out canoe!!! So our wedding was very different , very cheap indeed and very memorable .........almost forty years ago.BlueWrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795929577431465814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-32339399922535988242013-10-23T09:14:35.638+10:002013-10-23T09:14:35.638+10:00Happy Anniversary.
