The wedding ceremony was held at The Federation Pavilion in Cabarita Park which also provides a special link with the beginning of the Commonwealth of Australia.
The pavilion was built for the Inauguration of the Commonwealth of Australia which took place in Centennial Park, Sydney on 1 January 1901. It provided the focal point for the official swearing in of the new government. The first Governor General of Australia, Lord Hopetoun, the first Prime Minister, Edmund Barton, and the first Cabinet were officially sworn in by the Lieutenant Governor and Chief Justice of NSW, Sir Frederick Darley.
Eventually the wooden structure began to fall into disrepair, and in 1903 it was offered for sale and was purchased by the Concord Council for £60 and was moved to its present location in Cabarita Park.
The park was just lovely and I loved the old Balmain Fig it was huge !!!!
All the guest gathered around chatting waiting for the bride to arrive and hoping the weather was going to hold up...
David, has words with his Dad Gary to help settle his nerves....
Nellie walked down a red carpet and the ground covered in rose petals, looking just radiant on her Fathers arm...
Tables were dressed beautifully and every one was given a cute gift filled with mini jelly beans ... yum
After feeding our faces on yummy food...and the speeches over... they had the cutting of the cake...
Followed by the wedding waltz ....
