With fading memories of warmer days, Kassy & Gareth’s wedding takes me back to a beautiful sunny afternoon earlier this year.

Friends & family gathered in the peaceful surrounds of the manicured gardens of Werribee Mansion for the wedding of this well respected and loved couple.

As guests mingled in the sunshine, Kassy & the girls put the finishing touches on getting ready at the Mansion before making their way to the gardens where the excitement levels were building, awaiting their arrival.

Kassy was every inch the beautiful bride, looking radiant and stunning in her elegant and delicate gownKassy & Gareth-112

On the arm of her proud father and with her bridesmaids, Kassy walked down the aisle to the haunting sounds of XX by The Angels.  Such a beautiful entrance song including the words

“And with words unspoken
A silent devotion
I know you know what I mean
And the end is unknown
But I think I’m ready
As long as you’re with me”

A picture can tell a thousand words.  This beautiful picture captures the very special moment between Kassy and her dad arriving at the top of the aisle to meet Gareth.

During the ceremony, we acknowledge their parents as their greatest source of inspiration with each couple being married for over 30 years.

I also recounted many significant moments from their journey together and the many special qualities that they love about each other.

Then Kassy & Gareth recited sincere & personal vows with a touch of humour.

Following their exchange of vows and rings, it was such a pleasure for me to announce them husband and wife.

This wonderfully stylish but relaxed wedding set the tone for the rest of the day.

The newlyweds then spent some time with their very talented photographer Brown Paper Parcel who captured the essence of the day beautifully.

Congratulations Kassy & Gareth and thank you for inviting me to play a part in your beautiful wedding.  It was truly an honour to conduct a ceremony for such a loving and warm couple.

Thank you for also taking the time to leave a review on Easyweddings.

“Fiona was warm and welcoming from the very start.  She made us feel comfortable through the whole process and most importantly on the day.  Fiona was very accommodating of the style of ceremony we wanted and worked with us to keep it light hearted and fun, which was the feedback we received from all of our guests”.
