This was my last wedding for 2011 and what a blast it was, being just prior to Christmas!!
Elvina & John came from Melbourne to tie the knot in front of a very large group of family and friends who came from all parts of the world to celebrate this very special occasion. Being a Tongan wedding their were many traditions throughout the day and this was fantastic being apart of the day. Two of the traditions at a wedding is the Mat is used for when the bride is getting ready and the exchange of mats – A tradition of a Tongan wedding is the gifting of fine mats and food. The offerings of Kola (Treasures) are made throughout the wedding feast by the bride & grooms family…….
As I said it was a great day with a beautiful ceremony at the Wesley Kangaroo Point Uniting Church, and everyone had lot’s of fun and laughs, great food and dancing. Below are just a few photos from the day!!!
