Beach Wedding In Bc

Can't see the water for the trees

++++++

BECAUSE of all the bike riders on Beach Rd every weekend there have been suggestions that cars should be restricted to 50kph.

Good luck enforcing that, says Tom.

``I drove around Beach Rd yesterday, off peak, from Mordialloc to Brighton, at 60kph the entire way. I was passed by 16 cars and didn't pass one.

``People just don't seem to care that there's a speed limit.''

THERE'S   car dealer in Ascot Vale with a sign out front that reads: ``Established 1978 BC''.

We rang to find out what the ``BC'' was all about, and the reply?

``Before Commodore.''

LEANNE'S late grandfather, George Murdoch, is an Australian champion, but she doesn't know what in.

``He won a trophy and it's engraved ``MTHB - Australian Champion 1933''.

`` I was wondering if someone might be able to shed some light on what my grandfather did.''

+++++

WHY do we say something is out of whack, asks Keigh?  ``What is a whack?

``And isn't it odd that `fat chance' and `slim chance' mean the same thing.''

+++++

BARRY turns 70 tomorrow and, while reflecting on his life yesterday, it occurred to him that he'd never, ever, pulled on a baseball cap.

``I've certainly never owned one and I don't recall ever putting one on my head.

``I've got grandchildren who virtually live in them.

``I've thought of buying one, just for a heck of it, but now I'm starting to think it might change my luck and, for the past 70 years, my luck's been pretty good.''

SIGN seen on a church in England by Kath. It read:

aifAs you pass this little church,

Be sure to plan a visit,

So when at last you're carried in,

God won't ask: ``Who is it?''aif

JIM and his wife, Rikki, live in Bendigo and have just been to Melbourne to see the King Tut exhibition.

``During our time in Melbourne, we had six tram rides within the city and on each occasion, the tram was standing-room only.

``I am 75 and Rikki's 73, and while neither of us feels old, on all rides, as soon as we entered the tram, at least two young males would jump up and offer us their seats.

British Columbia Wedding by Spread Love Events | Style Me Pretty

Our vision began the day we got engaged.  My family has a rustic summer cabin on an island on the Sunshine Coast of BC and my best childhood memories are of lazy summer days there. It’s a place where time slows and shoes go missing for the summer.  When Jason took me to the island in the dead of winter, cabins all boarded up, to propose, we knew we had to get married nearby. The island has no electricity and is boat access only.  After considering all the logistics of guest transport, the chance of rain, and power needs for a wedding on the island we decided to hold the wedding at the nearby Rockwater Secret Cove Resort.  The resort, a place my grandparents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary years ago, boasts luxury tenthouse suites in character with the rugged westcoast shores and had the perfect perch for our ceremony, which looked out at the island. With an intimate guest list of 70, we wanted our wedding to evoke the feeling of a sunny summer evening on the beach with friends and family.  Inspired by a yellow and white striped beach towel, we began crafting our wedding with personal details.  We choose a yellow, coral, and sand colour scheme to create the feeling of a summer sunset at the bay. Many details of the wedding were handmade with love including the 70 jars of strawberry jam which Jason and I made in my moms kitchen as gifts for each of our guests.  Fresh squeezed lemonade was served to guest’s as they arrived at the ceremony to offer relief from the summer heat and a perfect summer breeze blew the yellow ribbons tide to the back row of the ceremony chairs. Immediately following the ceremony a champagne toast kicked off the cocktail hour fun. Guest’s played bocce ball and had their photo’s taken in our version of smile booth –  for which the backdrop was an arbutus tree adorned with ribbon and fun props. In the background we heard the sweet sound of the waves crashing against the shore and  a local guitarist playing our favorite summer tunes.
