Hi Guys,
Marissa and I both feel it would be wonderful if we could share our day with our extended circle of friends and we are glad that some of our fellow ozstoc members are going to be there. I'll be there from around 11am, so if you guys want to plan on getting there a little earlier 11:30 that would be good. The ceremony actually starts at 11:30 and that will be followed by group photographs with family and friends around the grounds of the crowne plaza before the reception starts at 1pm. Performing the ceremony for us is fellow ST1300 rider Kenn Lowis who's better known as "Fasta Pasta". Kenn has been a fellow Redlands Ulysses member for quite a few years, and we're delighted that he could perform the service for us. 

Hope a few of you can make it along to share in our special day!

Regards

Barry and Marissa  :)  :)

Congratulations.......

When you have kids, and they ask " Dad, why did you marry mum??" the answer isnt " I sometimes wonder that myself!!!! "

Dont ask how I know.. :(

May our wedding be like a table - all legs and NO DRAWERS!!!!       :P

See you there you two. 
Title: Re: Barry & Marissa's Wedding...
Post by: Barry and Marissa on September 18, 2011, 06:50:23 PM
Thanks Guys for the good wishes, AND all the helpful advice   ;)
I'm sure it will be a good day and am looking forward to seeing a few of you there.

Just so there's no confusion, the wedding is being held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel at 2807 Gold Coast Hwy Surfers Paradise, The hotel is on the corner of GC Hwy and First Ave. If you turn left into First Ave then take for first left into Beach Parade you will be at the back of the Hotel complex and the Chapel is about 100 metres up from the corner.

For some reason a few of our Ulysses friends who are coming along thought it was being held at Jupiters Casino and were planning to head there? 

Parking might be a challenge being school holidays. But finding a spot to park a bike shouldn't be a problem.   

Cheers

Neither Roper nor Myself can make it, its just a bit far to go, plus we have an RTE to attend in Beverly WA.

Hope you all have a brilliant day.

Diesel I'd plan to be down the Gold coast by 11am. I'll be there by then.

The service starts at 11.30. After that it will be a bit of a blur of photographs with friends and family in the gardens outside the chapel, before the wedding party then has to scoot off and have more pic's taken around the grounds before the reception at 1pm.

The weathers looking great for a ride!  ;)

See you guys there.

I will be there guys ... I would also like to offer for those that are not going to the reception that later in the the day they are welcome to rock up at my place on their way home for coffee/tee/water and sausage sizzle.
Or alternatively a sleep/camp over and BBQ so that you may go on a good ride home.
Now I have room to put a doz bikes and 2man tents in the back yard and not bother my vege gardens.
I do have 1 air mattress (Single) 1 Couch and 1 queen size bed available indoors, over 5000 songs on the puta
And a new 6 burner BBQ.Now the addy is on the way back up the M1. At Victoria Point by taking Redland Bay/Cleveland turn off.
Diesel if this desired please text or ring me so that I may prepare....
By the way for those who do nit know there are speed cameras on the over-bridge or beginning of the Logan Motorway that will get as you go
 under it.You will see them in your mirrors only,(100k zone each way)
I am not to sure where the others are.
regards
Tipsy

Hey Tipsy. I'll definitely be heading home but willing to hang with the others for a while. I guess we will have a natter about a lunch venue. Are you going to meet us at the BP Yatala for the ride on down to the wedding venue?
Title: Re: Barry & Marissa's Wedding...
Post by: Tipsy on September 22, 2011, 08:23:04 PM
yea will do
Title: Re: Barry & Marissa's Wedding...
Post by: Diesel on September 22, 2011, 09:26:49 PM
That is a fantastic offer Tipsy and I'd love to take you up on it - but of all days, I actually have to return home and head out to Imbil where my kids n folks are camping, and spend the night there. But we'll ask around, as we all love a beer n barby - others may be able to stop in as Skip has said already.

Glad you can join us for the run down to see the ball and chain go on Bazza... Barry and Marissa's wonderful day!     ;)

Cheers, Diesel

For everyone ....

Barry left a msg on my phone stating that they are back, had the most fantastic time, and was pretty well gobsmacked with pleasure from the gift that all of us here got Mr & Mrs Lane (Barry & Marissa) for their wedding pressie.

He said he is having internet troubles and can't get on...    :eek    but we know that's what happens when you get married - don't we folks.    :wink1

Barry said when he is able, he will post up his own thanks and a few piccies of the present.

Goodonya Baz and Marissa. Thanks again for a nice day, and congrats from all the team at OzSTOC.    :thumbsup
