Sue & Ralph's Wedding

---

We were lucky enough with the timing of our trip to be able to attend Sue & Ralph's wedding in Wellington. Sue & Ralph met in Oxford and now live in NZ.

The wedding took place on the beach at Princess Bay on the southern tip of the North Island. The weather was perfect - sunny and barely a cloud in the sky, with a nice refreshing sea breeze.

The reception was held at the Pines, with beautiful views over Princess Bay. There was an abnormally high swell, so as the sun went down, surfers congregated on the beach to ride the waves. The sunset was beautiful, with the peaks of the South Island visible in the distance, as we all danced to the DJ's selection of 80s alternative music - a great reminder of the Zodiac in Oxford!

It was exciting to be part of the event, and fun to catch up with some old faces from around Oxford - a big shout out to the Manny Road boys!

We hope Sue & Ralph are enjoying their honeymoon on the Coromandel Peninsula and we wish them all the best as husband and wife!

Hi guys
It looks like you guys are having a wonderful 3 1/2 month adventure, but what you don't have is tickets to see Arcade Fire AND Kaiser Chiefs (seperate shows)... I have to make myself feel better somehow as I stare at your beautiful pictures from my desk at work!! Anyway, despite our jealousy we miss you and we're glad you are having a wonderful time.
