We Have The Technology

Be sure to tune in this Thursday 3rd March because I will attempt to post a few pictures LIVE from our nuptials. They will be of the shoddiest, low-resolution cameraphone kind. My grasp of mobile technology can be described as "shithouse" at best, so if it doesn't work please don't come after me with sharp knives.

I tried to send a test pic to WNP via Flickr but it just won't bloody work, so just check my Flickr page every now and then coz that is where the grainy delights will be. Hopefully.

At a very rough guess you may see a trickle of images around 7PM Edinburgh time (GMT), which translates as:

11AM San Francisco
1PM Guatemala
2PM New York
4AM Tokyo (Friday)
6AM Sydney (Friday)

So Mothership, set your alarm!

Update: Wedding pics have now been archived. Thanks for all your good wishes!

This just shows, for the millionth time, how annoying it is that Queensland refuses to adopt daylight saving. Sydney's 6am is my 5am... but I'm keen. I'll be up and throwing rice at my laptop - waiting for cookies to be replaced by LURVE.

7 · Jim said:

Hope everything goes well!

8 · Gordon said:

I can almost see the headlines now - The Queen of blogging goes geek on her wedding day.

Brilliant.

Have a wonderful, wonderful day.

And then again for the next two!

9 · Kirsten said:

I'll get some confetti in too. Might have to hoover it out of the keyboard afterwards.

Maybe I'm a geekette too (OK, I am) but I think that's the coolest idea I've heard for ages - and will definitely be watching.

10 · Jen said:

Yay, I'm so excited!

11 · Nic said:


This is the event of the year! I will be shocking everyone by coming in to work before daylight (the internet connection is better here - hee hee!). Can't wait to see you guys all smiley and hitched!

YAAAAAAAY!!
- Nic

I'm so glad it's a slow morning at work, so I can devote my attention to constantly refreshing and hoping for more photos.

Hooray for the romance of the internet!

Enough exclamation points? Consider them as substitute for confetti.

"Marriage is popular because it combines the maximum of temptation with the maximum of opportunity."
- George Bernard Shaw, Man and Super(wo)man.

The whole pleasure of marriage is that you two are in charge and no one else. Enjoy. Treasure. Celebrate. Any excuse to grab the moment!

Congratulations; may the honeymoon never end ...

61 · Rosemary Grace said:
