Cameron and Michelle Sollits Wedding

Well Cammy and Michelle were getting married and I just had to go. Work as usual was being and real pain in the arse and taking up all my time but I thought stuff it I'm off to NZ just for the weekend to Papamoa just to see Cam and Michelle and their wedding.

So I did and it was a very enjoyable time, it was good to see Cam get married and finally seal the deal good on you big fella. I also caught up with Craig and Caroline which was very cool, after coming back from the UK they seem to be settling down in sleepy old NZ. It seems Craig has been head hunted as well, love it.

Check out the wedding pics and Megans Muslim barbie, what a sight.

NZ - Sollits Wedding Trip May 2007

Melissa's Wedding

What a busy bloody ccouple of two weeks I feel like I have only just recovered.

It was back in the start of March, I popped over to NZ from the great Port Macquarie.
The mighty thunder lizard picked me up and we cruized on back to Takapuna where I slept the night at my mothers.

Spent a couple of nights at Mum's but fled to Cammies after there was talk of Gardening and other such manual labour. I thought I came to NZ on a holiday but I was wayyyyyy mistaken.

So that weekend I went out with thunder and co, out to the might Globe and a few other places, it was a fairly tame night as Mr Grimmitt was hooked up and so was thunder....

Anyway Cammies was cool and of course that's where Leon lives to. On the wedding day I drove Matt and the boys to a beauty palour where they all had their faces done including me. I must say it was very relaxing but not something I would normally schedule into my lifestyle. Then I drove them all up to Acension where the bridal party had pictures and all the rest.

I got to the wedding and lo and behold I was the Master of Cermonies, I already knew this but I wasn't to sure on any of the lines or what was going where and when. Well I did have a little idea, but I was also a little flustered.

The ceremony took off without a hitch, then of course as usual there were a few more pics. And then the drinks started, I hardly got one in my mouth as I was doing sooo o much talking.

I first announced Matt & Co for the Barber shop quartet, I never knew Matt could sing like that and I'm sure everyone was very impressed. I sure was, go Matt you rock my world. Then we cruised into the reception where everyone got seated. There was alot of space and boy it was a big room. Nice choice on the venue Mel.

There just seemed to be endless speeches probably because I announced them all, but I did enjoy the night. Seventy people were there and I found that more than enough for a wedding I do hope everyone had a good time though. I found some time to do a little boggie woggie afterwards as did everyone else.

Once the night had finished we all went to our respective abodes, but what took place there won't be published here. I will have to leave that in the annals of my memory, all and all it was a very good weeekend.

Sorry for the rushed post but I have alot to catchup on. I've been really lazy lately. When I got back from the weekend I was soooo tired and put to work immediately..... and of course there has been a lady in my life for the past couple of months. More on that later.

NZ Trip Melissa Wedding

Rangitoto & Auckland

John and Shelleys Wedding

Honestly Queenstown? What was Shelley thinking, me and Cam booked tickets in advance which was lucky for us :) Turned out that Cam and I were booked on the same flight as Allan, it was a good trip down from Auckland only an hour and a half. Once we arrived we jumped in the rental and met up with the wedding crew. Everyone looked stressed, with only 4 hours to the wedding. So we left them to it and went straight to the pub! Where else would you go?




So we had a couple of beers and pizza's, nice service and there was a nice Swedish bar gal, we have a good ole chat. Her parting remarks were get absolutely wasted tonight, she'd been to 5 weddings recently and must of been enjoying them. Now that I think about it, she must of known the bar staff at Stoneridge(wedding venue) because the bar staff there just kept pouring drinks for us all night!



So after we relaxed a little we headed to the wedding and had to change on a dirt road, was rather amusing my black shoes turned dust colour but it all worked out. Stoneridge was a beautiful venue, and the views were Queenstown magnificent. You'll know if you go :) The ceremony was held in a qaint little chapel and it was brief and formal - very cool. Followed by a 10 minutes of photo's and abit of chatter. Then it was up to the bar :)

And low and behold there was this very georgeous bar gal Fee :) Fee just kept pouring drinks for everyone all night. Usually before you had finished you're last one she would pop over with another, honestly that girl was trained well! So we all had drinks and socialised. It was great to meet up with the cousins and see how they were all doing. Once that was all done we went inside and had some speeches, food and more drink!

The speeches were funny and very verbose, the speeches were perhaps longer than the ceremony. Allen was the master of cermonies and he did a very good job not that I can really remeber any of what was said :) Mum song a poem and Grandma said something really good, I thought it was just spot on. Shelley thanked everyone individually and Mikey tried to do the same but I interuppted him to much before he finished and well he just finished mid way through. I'm just terrible. John and his x brother in law(his name escapes me) both gave dashing speeches, perhaps a little to much dash and not enough peeper :)(te he he)

Once I'd gave Fee and good talking to and I had more than enough liqour Cam and I were taken courtsey of Wayne to Queenstown central for more festivities. Well I was quite happy by this stage and Cam kept buying me drinks, which he invariably drank or left. We went to a couple of bars and Cameron met a bouncer whom he know from the Te Anua days it was all very cool. After a while we stumbled back home to our motel.

The next day we had breakfast and left back to Auckland! What an awesome wedding and judging by the photo's what a great place. It gives me idea for my wedding.... oh that's right up single .

Sorry for the delay on the post.
Love Jimmer
