Maleny Botanic Gardens – October 26, 2013
We shall wed in the newly established Maleny Botanic Gardens before catching up with everyone during our ‘picnic blanket reception’. We shall have a some nibbles, a few cold beers (maybe a little champagne), enjoy live country music and appreciate having soo many of the special people in our lives all in the one place.
I know that we will return to the gardens, maybe bring a picnic, and recall our wedding day. I like to think that we will also hold the Christening of our future children there, maybe even other big life events. Regardless, these gardens will remain a special place throughout our lives.
