Work place romances ~ love them or hate them, I have to fess up, that's how I met Ella. My parents also met when they were at work, my sister too... and countless of our other friends. I mean, the average person spends 8hrs or more at work per day.... some people see their work mates more than their own family (although some choose to do so to avoid going home..haha).
Well, today "we" (I'll get to this part later) got to witness a really touching wedding ceremony between Nelson and Mandy. Nelson first came to know Mandy when he landed in Canberra and was doing a 'thing' in the neurosurgical ward. Fresh from Nu Zeeland, it wasn't long before Nelson fell for Mandy.... ok, we've seen it all... on countless dramas: ER, Chicago Hope, Greys Anatomy, Scrubs and closer to home, All Saints: these work place romances between medico professionals never work out right? Well, not these 2! The love that Nelson has for Mandy is just amazing... the way he gazes at her, the way he gushes over her... it's electric!
Congratulations Nel + Mandy... what a day and night on the harbour...I can't stop bobbing from side to side.... argghhh....
Oh, I promised to elaborate about "we".
My sister in law, Carol was part of the bridal party.... "so what, you say?" well, as it turns out, Carol's a buddy of Nelson and so in true spirit, Nelson asked Carol to be part of the groomsmen. Got your attention yet? That's right... a female amongst the groomsmen.... I think they call them grooms-maid or grooms-woman. It was a first for me... but Carol did really well. Part 'bro', part 'sista'.... well done, Carol! You must share some of the pictures from the buck's night.
Alright, enough of me...here are some highlights.... got to also thank Ella for driving Carol and I around...fresh from her 5 day work conference (hmmm...we know what they're all about).
If you're wondering, Nelson's offering mate's rates on plastic surgery... just mention promo code "nelson-HEARTS-mandy"! I'm booked in for some butt implants....oh wait, can I say "butt" here?
