Default What kind of wedding?

What kind of wedding do the groomsmen arrive in a Carrier, then do the quick-change act into their wedding togs...



The bride and dad arrive on a C15 preceded by a piper...



The bridesmaids on a C15A...



Then they depart on a trailer behind a vintage tractor...



Only to return for a victory lap on a Dodge Weapons Carrier and jeeps?



What kind of wedding? A bloody good one!

This is the wedding of Emma Hedges to Mick Wilson in Yass yesterday.

thank you Keith for the photography it added to the whole day having you there. The boys turning up in the carrier certainly gave people something to talk about, the guests worried that they were over dressed until the boys got changed. The whole day was just perfect and I don't think that they could've done anything else to have made it better. Congratulations Emma & Mick

Excellent! Dan Jahn graciously loaned his halftrack for my wedding and its great to see other folks get away from the terribly unoriginal modern limousines!

Nice pic of your folks, Emma.

Now it's time for Mr. and Mrs. Wilson to set up her own MLU accounts I think.

I thought liking blitzes was a prerequisite for marriage into the family... Mick is certainly a good Carrier driver already.
