Simon and Aleisha's wedding

Nothing had been happening since I got back, until last week that is. Everything then kicked off. On Saturday Simon and Aleisha were married and I was honoured to be Best Man. On the Wednesday before, the lads went fishing for the stag do out in the open ocean. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures but we caught a load of huge stuff (honest) and managed to easily fill our large cooler with fish. I was also hoping for a load of good pelagic birds out there as reports have been very good over the past couple of weeks. In the end, however, we only encountered two species of shearwater but at least one of them was new #367 Wedge-tailed Shearwater. A good day was had by most (those throwing up all the time maybe didn't enjoy it so much) although I did get horribly sun-burned but luckily that had mostly gone down by Saturday.

The weather remarkably cleared for the ceremony

Signing the paperwork

On Saturday the rain cleared an hour before the ceremony so we were able to have it outdoors in the main quad here at the university. The reception was held in the Darbar curry house. Magic!

Speech time (no photo of me because I'm sure they were all laughing too much to hold a camera steady!)
