Bateau Bay - week of wedding









The wedding week during which we took a let of a beach house right above Shelley beach ( 3 fairways of Tuggerah Golf course being the only thing separating us from miles of beautiful sand and surf was phenomenal. A relaxing family holiday but full of activity culminating in a pub dinner at the Entrance Hotel on the Friday night, the wedding on Bateau Bay beach and reception and dinner at the golf club therafter , and a breakfast barbecue at Katy's parents house on the day after.

The wedding was spectacular . Weather perfect and a setting to die for. Piper followed by Duncan and his 2 `best men ` - his sisters - led the procession and a really lovely ceremony taken by a delightful celebrant and with 100 people ( 15 or so kilts ) attending. Photographs can be seen on the following websites. With the second one below ( i.e the Utube link - all brilliantly taken and set up by D & K's friend Tony from Ithaca )you may have to type in ` Duncan & Katy wedding ` in the search box and it should come up -
