We had a picnic at tiny McKell Park in Darling Point this afternoon to mark several birthdays including Sy's and Hn's. We had set ourselves up in the space above with other picnic groups around us only to have a woman inform us half an hour in that she was setting up for a wedding to commence two hours later.We moved to another spot about twenty metres away and continued our picnic there as preparations for the wedding continued. It turned out to be a Jewish wedding with a canopy and violinist playing Jewish tunes and melodies from Fiddler on the Roof. The violinist had to compete with the thump, thump, thump music drifting off the harbour from nearby leisure craft but he provided a pleasant background to our picnic.
The fairly formal dress of the wedding guests looked a bit strange in the park environs but gave us plenty of opportunities for gratuitous bystander assessments.
Turned out to be a good afternoon.
Glad you had a fun afternoon!! A wedding and birthdays all in one!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely afternoon you must have had.
ReplyDeleteThat was where we met the celebrant for R's sister's wedding. She was conducting one there after she met us. It was very nice and not too big.
ReplyDeleteThe harbor definitely makes for a nice backdrop! I loved your "bystander assessments" comment. As only a gay man can give I assume, right? :-)
