Ranis Wedding

Saffron Craig - Monday, May 25, 2009
We flew to Lorne this weekend for a wedding. I did not take my camera and so I have no pictures, sorry. I hope my writing can conjure images for you.

Rani and I have been friend since uni. So I was very happy to be at the wedding. She chose a magic spot on a ridge with vistas of the ocean all the way to the  horizon on one side and the mountain ranges entirely covered with trees on the other side. Not a house to be seen from any direction. It was lovely.

Rani made her dress out of primed canvas and she asked her guests to write on it as the night swayed on. We have always called Rani the texta queen so out came the big black textas. "Happy days Rani!" She had twigs and a stick of bush blossoms as her bouquet. The tables were adorned with moss. The fires roared.  What fun.

I was most touched as Lincoln her now husband taught himself to crochet. He crocheted Rani a Doctor Who scarf, an exact copy as the wedding present which also bore the rings.  So sweet. The wedding vows include an agreement  to give cuddles on demand. All 120 of us giggled at that.

Hello here is a picture of Rani in her wedding dress. She made it herself out of canvas and we signed it at the end of the night.

The dress is amazing! Getting people to sign it is a brilliant idea!

So cool! It's a gorgeous looking dress - it doesn't look like it's made from canvas! Love her bouquet too. :-)
