Just before it was time for the ceremony to begin, the skies opened and the rain tumbled down.  As we stood watching the hail and torrential rain, Mel's dad Glen and brother-in-law James started clearing the back deck so the ceremony could be held undercover.  Now that might have dampened the day for some couples, but not Mel and Dan.  They simply waited it out. Dan kicked back and shared a beer with his best man, Adam.  Mel sat on the lounge room floor playing with their gorgeous daughter Lilly and the bridesmaids.    

Just before 4pm the rain stopped, the sun came out, Dan and Adam arrived and the ceremony got underway.  And the rain stayed away until we did the photographs.  


In the end, it was a wonderful day full of love and laughter.  A day that will provide a lifetime of memories for Mel and Dan.
