Our Wedding Party - Bryllup i New Zealand
Preparations for our Wedding Party - Forberedelse til vores Bryllups Fest

Our bridge - Vores brog |
|---|
After seeing a book about bamboo architecture, Duncan decided we had to have a bamboo bridge over the pool for our ceremony. Luckily there's a large stand of bamboo near the house.
Everyone had their own plan for what to do if the bridge didn't work, but in the end it was built and survived. We couldn't have ugly wooden planks and scaffolding polls when architects get married!
Unfortunately introducing the bamboo to the pool (which has been a fish-pond for many years) changed the water chemistry and not all the goldfish made it to our party.
Efter Duncan har set en bog om bambusarkitektur besluttede han at vi skal have en bambusbro over poolen til ceremonien. Heldigvis er det et stort bambushegn i nærheden af huset.
Alle var lidt nervøse over om den ville holde, men til sidst blev den bygget og den var flot. Man kan jo ikke have grimme brædder og stiladser når 2 arkitekter bliver gift!
Uheldigvis har bambus stængerne ændret kemien i poolen, som har været en fiskdam i mange år, det betød at ikke alle guldfiskene kunne komme til vores fest.

The bar - Den bar |
|---|
We turned the old brick BBQ area into our bar which Fionas friend Bernard managed. There were all the usual drinks plus some non-alcoholic punch served from a samoan kava bowl.
Vi laved den gamle grill areal om til vores bar som Fionas ven Bernard passed. Der var alle de sædvanlige drikke og punchen blev serveret i en kava skål fra Samoa.

Making flax flowers - Blomstrer lavning |
|---|
Maj Britt and her family started weaving flax flowers while waiting for a ferry in the Bay Islands. This was to the great amusement of Japanes tourists
Maj Britt og hendes familie flettede blomster at lilieblade, som er traditionelt Maorihåndværk. Til stor morskab for de japanske turister sad vi og flettede nede ved havnen i Bay of Islands mens vi ventede på en færge.

Polishing silver - Sølv poliering |
|---|
Here's a quick lunch break while Duncan gets some polishing done on the silver for his scottish outfit.
Sølvtøjet til Duncans skotske tøj skal lige have en tur med pudsekluden.

Our table setting - Vores borddækning |
|---|
Fiona had done a great job preparing the wedding before the rest of us arrived from Denmark.She had also carefully thought out the table setting, the starting point for it all was the colours in paua shell, a bit of a national symbol in New Zealand.
Fiona, Duncans mor lagt et stort stykke arbejde i forberedelserne før resten af os ankom fra Danmark. Hun havde også nøje udtænkt borddækningen, der tog udgangspunkt i farverne i pauaskallen, som er et af nationalsymbolerne.
