WEDDING – Info for guests
March 1st, 2007Hi! As we are not in the country at the moment (but we’ll be home soon!!), we have set up this page to give you some more information about our upcoming wedding.
The wedding is to be held on the 5th of May at Peter and Jenny’s (Mick’s Mum and Dad) farm, Elouera, which is located about 50kms from Micks family home in Inverell. We would like the wedding to be a fairly relaxed affair, and we will be having an Argentine style ‘Asado’ dinner (barbeque) at the farm following an afternoon ceremony. Children are very welcome. There is also an option to stay out at the farm on the wedding night in your own swag or tent if you feel like partying on after the ‘cinderella bus’ at 12 midnight has departed with guests who would rather sleep in more comfortable accommodations in Inverell or at the Bundarra Pub.
Since so many people are travelling quite a distance to attend we would ask that all of our guests refrain from buying wedding presents for us – your presence is presents enough please!
We hope to see you there!
Love Mel and Mick.
AccommodationThere is limited accommodation available in Inverell and Bundarra, so we suggest you book early!! Accommodation options in Inverell and Bundarra are listed at the bottom of this page.
Those of you who would like to stay on and spend the wedding night at the farm please bring a swag or a tent!
