After leaving Christchurch we headed to Ashburton for a couple of days before moving onto Timaru to meet up with our Southland family so we could attend our fourth wedding in as many months. It was such a shame that the weekend was so wet and miserable after so many weeks of such beautiful weather but such is April weather.
Of course a wedding is not about the venue but about celebrating the lucky couple's special day. There was plenty of room for all to squeeze into wedding reception area and for us to witness the ceremony.
An Elford/Hastie gathering is not complete without Bruce bringing out his pipes and Saturday was no exception. The newly weds were piped into the wedding breakfast in style, and then we got an encore to announce that supper was served.

The weekend was rounded off on Sunday morning with a shared brunch at a local restaurant, before we all headed away - some back to Invercargill and Gore, some to Christchurch and for us to decide where our next trip would be. As we need to be back in Geraldine by Wednesday (for the BIG birthday) we decided that we would explore some of my 'old stamping ground' of South Canterbury.
