Newly Weds: Manfred & Katrina T.
At some point in my life I really disliked weddings...not just because of EVERYTHING that leads up to the ceremony...having to dress up, getting drenched in a suit on a hot day, socialising with people and the rest of it...but A LOT because I'd feel sad for myself when seeing them together and knowing that they'll have each other for the rest of their lives while I'll probably be single forever. It may well be true! I'm not that young... When I get invited I make it a point to attend IF I CAN to honour their decision to commit together to a marriage. I'm probably happier for them than anyone else because I've always been single.
Then again, The Man of Sorrows attended a wedding and performed his first miracle. Miracle because of its complexity. He changed water into wine. Even for a guy like me...I can pick up ingredients from the shops and put together a dish on a Saturday night. To turn water into wine requires a combination of ingredients, a specific process and a certain period of time. What I'm talking about is something that is out of the ordinary. That's why wine making, tasting and competing for awards is a real skill! It's a craft, it's an art form.
It's been a while since I attended a wedding and it was my first time attending on a boat. There were lovely views on the river and it was nice and cool in the evening with the breeze. I had a pleasant Saturday afternoon all the way to the night!

My friends and fellows ...
I'm still having problems where I am on the internet, the connection does not support the SL, so it gets a little hard work ... But so it'll normalize with the last post! Thank you for caring and for your patience. <3
Kiss for all <3
There was some festival going on where the top two universities in the city had some kind of competition about who could get the most food and drink for free from local bars and restaurants
The crowds were getting to be at a dangerous level and more were pouring in down George Street.
If there had been an incident and then a panic, where would we go?
Over the Canada Day longweekend, my girlfriend and I were able to go up to the Bruce Peninsula National Park. There is just so much rugged rock and blue water there. An excellent place to hike. It was a hot day so the cold water was refreshing.
The May long weekend always brings the annual river run. The idea is to build something that floats (hopefully) and float down the river and over the light rapids. All the rafts usually sport chairs and coolers. The second one here comes complete with a picnic table! We overheard one group proclaim that maybe they should have brought a paddle as they approached the rapids. If they successfully make it down the river, there is a nice beach area where they can all gather later in the afternoon. It was a bit overcast today, and the water is cold, so hoping not too many people ended up in the river!
Designed by architect Sidney Badgley, Massey Hall was completed in 1894 at a cost of $152,390.75.[4] Construction was financed by Hart Massey of Massey-Harris (later Massey Ferguson) holding company. The hall's debut concert was on June 14, 1894. In 1933, the Massey Foundation undertook further renovations to the hall. It is currently used for a variety of events and is operated by the same corporation as Roy Thomson Hall.
A local crashed his car into the side rails, when going through the bend to quickly... It was his dad's car, and second car he crashed in a week. We gave him a lift to the next town.
The Ed Mirvish Theatre is a historic film and play theatre in Downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was initially known as the Pantages Theatre, then became the Imperial Theatre first as a huge cinema and then a six screen multiplex. Garth Drabinsky purchased the theatre and reopened it as the Pantages. In 1989 its first musical Phantom of the Opera opened with Colm Wilkinson as the Phantom.
After Drabinsky's company was liquidated by the courts the Mirvish family purchased the theatre and reopened it as the Canon Theatre. After family scion Ed passed away the theatre was renamed in his honour.
Once the sun had disappeared, the sky looked quite eerie. There was a haze in the air which added to the depth of colour.
Some shots from an amazing weekend over in Ireland with my good friend Leigh. One of the best weekends I can remember...and I'll hopefully be heading back for more sometime. It's such a beautiful place.
