Why Fiji ?

A question we have been asking ourselves since early 2014 when we received the Save the Date alert.  

When nephew Drew announced that he and Nicole were getting married it was not entirely unexpected: they have been together long enough to have two children and a wedding was inevitable.

But why Fiji ?

We have no connexion to the place.  And Drew and Nicole live on the Mornington Peninsula which provides a myriad of options for a nice wedding, such as a nice, local Red Hill winery. But no, overseas it is.  

So we are off.

Sometimes an overseas wedding is a nice, intimate affair.  But not for this pair of social butterflies - no less than 72 people are heading to Fiji for this wedding.  Including Drew's UK cousin who has more right to question the choice of location as there are no direct flights to Fiji, so he actually has to fly via Australia.

But we love Drew and Nicole, so we will dutifully fly to the Pacific to join them on their auspicious day.

Bula!
