Rewind to Hawaii and the wedding reception!

We have just dropped Laetitia off at the airport after a wonderful visit.  We spent our last morning having brunch in Semaphore and taking a stroll down the boardwalk.  We did some people watching, admired the crystal clear blue waters, and saw the little steam train that takes children for rides along the beach.

Now I'm going to continue reliving our Hawaii trip, going back to the wedding reception.  I believe I left off at the PARTY BUS (!!!) which was transporting us to Ray's on the Bay, where the wedding dinner was to be held.  The party bus couldn't quite fit our entire group, so the idea was that it would make two trips.  There was a slight miscommunication and the second group ended up being abandoned for about an hour and a half, but it was all sorted out and they had plenty of food and drink and good company to keep them occupied while they waited, so...crisis averted!

The party bus driver kindly stopped so we could get out and take a picture of the sunset.

Parents and Christmas display inside the Sheraton Hotel, which was where Ray's on the Bay was located.

Enjoying the view.

 More Christmas fun at the Sheraton.

Fish heads, fish heads, roly poly fish heads, fish heads, fish heads, eat them up YUM!

The reception dinner consisted of an array of yummy things, such as steak, whole fish, spring rolls, sushi, spider shrimp, etc etc etc.

The newlyweds were given champagne by the staff for a little toast.  We had the speeches at Ray's once the second bus arrived and I was so impressed with all of them.  You can tell Ronan and Adam are surrounded by people who love them very much!

Their first dance was to Roch Voisine's "I'll Always Be There" - Canadian stamp of approval!  They even had a choreographed dance to go with it.

 Emotions ran high from morning until night.  My mum got a little teary watching the dance, and very late in the night there was a big love/cry fest while listening to Macklemore's "Same Love". 

Lots of love and all the best to my wonderful brother and my fantastic new brother-in-law <3 br="">
