So, Joe and I are surviving the Christchurch aftershocks by becoming very self-absorbed in our wedding photos, which have finally all arrived.
You can see them at http://joe.47north.org/wedding.htm (and at the professional site you'll need Joe's last name, it's Powers).
But let's be honest, you'll tune out after the first 300, so here are a few of our favourites. It was a great 3 weeks for us - full of family, friends, sunshine and BBQs. Highlights included an epic beer pong tournament, a hen's night in Las Vegas, watching our two families try to understand each others accents, and discovering gross American consumerism at its best (read WallMart and Taco Bell at 2am).
Drinking games on the stage we built in the Powers' backyard..."we" in the most liberal sense of the word...
Dancing lessons (our 'waltz' was Elephant Gun by Beirut)
Bridezilla moments...
On the big day...
Mum actually helped design my dress...
Meet the parents...
It rained after the ceremony but cleared up perfectly for some photos...
Joe's mum made the cake...
Zac did a great job of playing MC for the night and there were some hilarious speeches from Dad and Joe's brother Jeff.
You-know-who carve up the dance floor...
Siblings promptly ignoring elder sister's advice...
Jeff serenades the crowd...
Milly lets us know who's next in line...
All up it was an awesome day - can't wait to have a champers with you all at Lismore and introduce you to my husband (yeah - that's right, I can throw that word around now).
In other, and to some of you more relevent, news: Rugby World Cup tickets are now on sale so if anyone is tempted, visit http://www.rugbyworldcup.com/ - you know you have a place to crash in Christchurch.
Love Kate

Kate, just stunning shots (with the exception of bridezilla..) Kelly sat there and checked out all 300 - Every 3 minutes or so, she'd get excited and call me over, so I saw a smattering of the best.
Kate, don't worry about overdoing the wedding shots. It's about a fifth of the pics I've seen of Harry and he's not even married yet! Lots of heart on display here and your in-laws look welcoming.
Your family and cousins scrubbed up pretty well too. The pic of John makes him look like an extra from the Sopranos who's just been kissed on both cheeks.
PS: buy a copy of the September issue of NZ Motorcycle Trader magazine - in the newsagents now. Our Vietnam story is on p76 and check out p94 onwards.
300 photos?! Man, rolls of film must be huge these days.
INTERCEPT!!
luv mil
Millicent - it looks like you were the only girl really trying. I can't see Annika - where was she?
Amelia! Is this the photo you told me they were planning to use in the dictionary under "dignity" ?
Lovely photos Kate, looking forward to being in the stage 2 wedding photos at Christmas.
