A few weekends ago I went to the beautiful beach wedding of my friend Tracey and her partner Al. They had the ceremony at Little Cove Beach at Noosa and it was a glorious afternoon. The thing I loved most about it was how relaxed it was... it didn't matter if the bride got sand on her dress, or if her hair was windswept (in fact the windswept hair made her look all the more beautiful!). It made me realise that your wedding day should be about embracing, as with life, the perfect imperfection of it all. The bride and groom were so happy it was infectious, and quite emotional.
Tracey and Al are one of those couples that you can really tell are absolutely head over heels in love with another another. The wedding celebrant recounted their love story of how sparks flew the moment they first laid eyes on each other, and you can still see today the way they look at each other with such warmth and tenderness. I heard a love song recently with the line "people would say that we're the lucky ones" and I did gush over Tracey a bit to tell her how lucky she is to have married the man of her dreams !!
It is very inspiring to see such true love, and I can only hope that, oneday, I will be as lucky.
