A touch of Australian flowers

 

What happens when an Australian gal

meets an American guy

in a library in China ?

 

They fall in love

not only with books

but each other

 

 

And so it was set

 for Renee and Paul

to have their wedding in  the State library

of South Australia

surrounded by books

& excited family

 

 

Renee looked absolutely stunning in red lace

holding a bouquet of Australian flowers

including

red flowering gum, crimson tea tree,  protea,

surrounded by blue gum

 

 

Paul looked so distinguished

in a blue suit

and just a little touch of Australia

 on his lapel

to match

 

the Ceremony was held in the Circulating Room

to the sounds of Chinese music

 

 

including a Chinese tea welcome

 

 

and of course readings from many important books

 

as

Paul & Renee

became

husband & wife

 

 

Following the service

the room was rearranged

 

 

&

became

A loving family table

of  hospitality

 

 

decorated with

Australian flowers

&

Chinese parasols

 

 

Congratulations

Renee and Paul

 

What a wonderful wedding

full of symbolic meaning

 

 

Blessings to you both always
