Sitting here in the Qantas Lounge deciding whether or not to have a G&T before our honeymoon flight to New York and Mexico.
Wedding was on Saturday and was a fabulous day - went off without a hitch (well, except of the getting hitched bit!).
Here's a few photos, and, Darren, a special little modification just for you.
Clear southern skies everyone! The missus wouldn't let me take the tripod for some northern sky startrails (will have to buy a cheap one over there) - and so begins married life!!
its the best i reckon, my 1 year anniversary is in about a month.
I remember waking up early the next morning to watch the ISS and STS-132 fly over, god it was bright, perfect weekend i reckon
Pre-marriage: 3 pairs of binos, 10 inch dob, 5 plossls, 1 nagler, three star atlas, dozens of other books... etc...
14 years of marriage: 80mm cheap refractor, 1 plossl...
Well done Nicko. I am sure you will find marriage very agreeable.
I hope though that you will still be allowed out to the Snake Valley camps as it wouldn't be the same without you.
In deference to Gem, before I got married I didn't know what astronomy was, now I've got more gear than I can poke a stick at. Mind you I was spending that much time out of the house at night that I thought I may as well develop an interest for the circumstances.
So you disregarded all our advice from SV. I heard today that marriage has three "rings" - the engagement ring, the wedding ring and then the suffer ring.
Then again, I'm sure you'll make the very best of the situation! Congratulations, have a wonderful and safe trip. But tell her, November is already locked in
wooohooo congrats to the both of you on your special day Niko xoxoxoxoxoxoxo you scrub up pretty well there Niko and the bride looks lovely xo but where have all your curls gone Drew is going to be devastated when i show him these pics LMAO Hope you have a lovely honeymoon
thanks everyone - day 2 in New York - chilly but sunny.
Jen - I told the hairdresser one thing and one thing only - "leave the curls" but I think she was too groovy to listen to the client so they hit the floor!!
Just about to head out and see the sights after an amazing dinner last night at "Fatty Crab" on Hudson St and the most wonderful dead sleep after 20 hrs of travelling.
Jen, Daniel - do you think Darren's forsaken me now that I'm married
and to think I changed my avatar just for him... Maybe it needs to be a t-shirt for November!!!
Hoping to take some startrails in the clearer skies of Mexico next week.
