Photos will be from my own archives; illustrations are from Dover Publications' free clipart sample newsletter.

We stood at the end of the aisle and said "I do".
Here we lie in a new aisle and say "I did".

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)
