Sydney
– Venue Research
From time to time during the conference week, we took time off and went
out looking for possible venues for the 4th International Mush Conference
which is scheduled for October 20, 2005 – concerning the wedding
ceremony as well as the conference itself.
The ceremony:
11.10.2004: Starting
out research trip together with Deb's mother, Edith
A
first look at the Garrison Church
Returned
there on Friday to have a meeting with the Anglican reverent
Margrethe
was here with Frederik
Thursday
14th of October: The
Danish Church in Pennant Hills, 20 kilometers out of town.
Had a really nice meeting with the Danish Minister, Torben Ebbesen,
and put our signatures on a piece of paper – the socalled ‘Notification
of Intended Marriage’.
St
Stephen's Church near the center
IMC
provided us with a helicopter so we could take a good look at St Mary's
Cathedral – where Deb was baptized, and where Deb's mum and dad
were married
St
Mary's Cathedral is located right in the heart of the city, next to
Hyde Park
So
big it can only make you feel very small.
Entrance
to the park behind Vaucluse House
A
water fall trickles in the background in this secluded corner of the
park
Lovely
site for a picnic, that's for sure. But the place to have our wedding
ceremony?
