This Saturday just gone we went to my cousin Kaelasha and Hema’s Wedding on Waiheke Island. It was Pete’s first trip out to Waiheke despite it only being a 30 minute ferry ride from the city.
I’ve been to many different style weddings over the years from the most formal British to the most carefree kiwi and this would have to be down the carefree end.
We met at Kae and Hema’s place just after one and walked through the forest to the reserve and up under this big old Pohutukawa Tree where the ceremony was to take place.
The two families walked from different directions to meet in the middle before coming over to the tree.
Below is Kae and Hemma and their daughter Jade. The guy in the orange was the Ananda Marga marriage celebrant. In all honesty I don’t know much about Ananda Marga but it said in the Wedding booklet that it’s aims are ‘the liberation of self and service to the world’ and that’s ok with me.
Below is Li Fen and Kae and Hema’s son Dante. The cutest baby I think I have ever seen, bar my niece of course. I mean seriously, look at that face.
Below are the Wedding goers! It was so nice to cop a squat under the shade of the tree and be entertained by the ceremony. All the kids at the wedding went nuts in the long grass.
We walked from the reserve down to Palm Beach where we ate good food and chatted under big teepee’s.
Mum and Ben chowing down.
Clare, Piet and Dante.
Lou and Pete chillin.
It was just such a lovely day.
