Gaelyne and Rod: Our Wedding
On 15 October 2000, we had a BBQ with a surprise wedding ceremony. Erik Rassmussen and Barry Gasson supplied us with photos from the day.

 Rod thanked everyone for coming and said that originally we'd planned to have a birthday BBQ, but so many people were expecting us to get married that we didn't want to disappoint anyone, and introduced our marriage celebrant (Judith Ernst). |
