Getting Hitched, Aussie Style

While I was in Melbourne, I was fortunate to help celebrate the wedding of Kara and Troy. In fact, I actually helped run the music at the ceremony, but that is a story for another time.

Here is some video from the ceremony:

Here is the real priest, a dead ringer…right?

Anyway, the wedding was amazing and everyone had a great time. I will have a special post dedicated to one person who really helped make the day extra special, but more on that tomorrow. 

CONGRATULATIONS Kara and Troy! Thank you for allowing me to be part of your special day. And, thank you for making me feel like a part of the Abakumenko-Barnett clan.

Victor (dad) was not in this picture but was present for the fun.

P.S. Thanks to Troy for letting me drink all of his beer at the Melbourne Cup celebration. It was an amature move not showing up with provisions, but he got me sorted.
