Pastor Q in Paradise

Yesterday I happened to be in-world to answer an urgent IM from a woman named Darla Catteneo about a wedding. As these things always go, when I arrived she wasn’t there.

But, while I was writing a notecard for Darla, I received another urgent call to see if I could manage a wedding in an hour’s time.

So, there I was, madly preparing for a rush job for Stella (whose Pastor had a RL emergency), and I was contacted again by Darla. “Alas,” I told Darla, “I’ve already taken an emergency booking.” Guess what! Same wedding. What a relief.

So I met the very charming Darla Catteneo, officiated at a happy wedding with Stella and Dave and enjoyed myself immensely.

Another good day in-world. That’s Stella in the photo.

A small selection of Weddings from the last 8 weeks.

Sometimes it’s not possible to take a photo . You know how it is, people with wings, bling galore, AOs, huge inventories etc will slow down the whole Ceremony and I dare not add to the load by snapping off a few pics

Then I’ve come home to have a look at my photos and discovered the light was all wrong. I’m not a photographer. Not at all.

Let me tell you that I derive more enjoyment from SL Ceremonies, especially weddings, than those in RL.

After all, what chance do I have in RL of officiating in my very own cathedral, based on the Wells Cathedral in Somerset, England? Then there’s my private beach with the Kampong, copied from a gorgeous longhouse in Bali. The beach is landscaped like Darwin, Australia, and I like nothing better than to relax with my 2 pooches from the Virtual Kennel Club and gaze at the sunset. I have had some lovely weddings here.

I’ve also performed weddings in the clouds, in deep leafy forests, in fairy dells, in chalets in the snow and, on one memorable occasion, underwater

The brides are all beautiful too
