The wedding of Peter and Fiona Hollaway was in the old St.Mary's Chapel on the bay at Port Douglas. The town used to ship out sugar cane from the wharf at this bay. There was a crocodile in the water next to the church, but it was a beautiful place otherwise. The reception after the wedding was in an old sugar cane shed. I really liked the food at the reception. They called it "walking the fork." The caterers kept bringing around food. My favorite was a scallop with pork belly on a spoon and the fish cakes were awesome!Grandpa's favorite was oysters in pink champaign. Grandma liked the prawns and calamari They played a lot of American music like "Party Rockers"and Michael Bubblie although I really enjoyed hearing Australian songs too. There were speeches and toasts and we had a lot of fun at the wedding in Port Douglas.
Sounds like fun...I'm not so sure what "scallop with pork belly on a spoon" would look like, but it sounds good.
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered what Port Douglas is like and was so lucky to see an HGTV house hunting program on TV right after you left on your trip that showed a young New Zealand guy looking for a home to buy there. What a gorgeous little town it is, a real jewel on the Coral Sea. Can't think of a prettier place to have a wedding.
