‘I think that I shall never
see, a poem as lovely as a tree’
My latest bride, who calls herself
a‘tree-hugger’, not only believes in the beauty of trees, but decided to
exchange her wedding vows in front of one of her favourites - a three-hundred
year old Moreton Bay Fig Tree at the Old Petrie Town park.
Apparently in the early years the area was
pretty well-covered with those trees. But like many other places, this one
was found by the early Pioneers and their sharp axes. So today you may only find one or two of these trees. As did my bride.
Apart from the setting, another unique thing about this wedding was how the wedding rings were carried by the bride's best friend. I won't pin-point the exact location, but they were somewhere in the vicinity of a V neckline and used for the purpose of tucking things in by women since forever.
I've attached a video in memory of the trees that managed to survive against all odds.
