holly and simon got married

holly and simon (no, not me, another simon – the guy on the picture at the right) got married. well, they did that in september. this blog wasn’t around then and i wasn’t around for the wedding. it was in australia and they all had one cracker of a time, judging by all the pictures i saw. i’d have loved to go, but unclement circumstances (not weather) led to me not being able to go.

[for the impatient among you who are just looking for the pics of the "swanky do" and don't want to read any further, the clicky is here.]

so, when did all this happen? on a fine sunny day called the 14th of september somewhere in the hamilton islands on the australian continent. i’ve been told they’re somewhere up the east coast, north of sydney near the barrier reef, so that should enable you all to find and hit the islands with a pin on your nearest friendly world map.
as only about 20 ppl made it to the wedding in australia, holly and simon decided to throw a “swanky black tie event” with “chocolate fountains, string quartets, roulette tables, ice sculptures, cocktails, blackjack and a barber shop quartet”.big thanks, you two, and everyone else who helped organise the do – it was great! )
as far as i can tell, everyone had a great time. judging by the smile on holly’s face on most of the photos, she had the best time of them all.simon looks very happy as well on all of the pics i’ve seen so far. holly may have to work some magical wizardry she learnt at college on some of the pictures, but i have every confidence she can and will. i’m just a lowlife text-based geek, so i’ll leave the picture hacking to the pros. )
you’re all wondering where the pictures are, i’m sure. weeeeell, let me tell you something. the best ones are online. the clicky is here.
just want to wish both holly and simon (you two, if you happen to be reading this) the best of luck, all the happiness you can take and a long life together.
