One of the great lessons I took from Michelle and Curtis' wedding was the absolute value of including children in the wedding ceremony. This day was extra special as their three children were featured in the wedding party and ceremony. To see the little girls in their gorgeous dresses walking down the aisle to their Dad, and to have their son standing with the groomsmen, and then handing his parents the wedding rings: it was priceless, beautiful and tear inducing (including me, got a little bit misty I must admit). I know that it can be frowned upon, this having kids at a wedding, but sometimes it just works, and Michelle and Curtis must be applauded for making their day just so beautifully and utterly a true family event.
The setting for the ceremony was on the lawns near The Sensory Garden, at The Ballarat Botanical Gardens, which is always just a beautiful spot to get married. The fountain was flowing in the background and the gardens were gloriously green and gorgeous. We are so lucky in Ballarat to have the gardens. I wonder how many people get married there every year?
