Default Discovery & DeathXR 'tie the knot'

Hi all, looooong time no speak!

I've been letting DeathXR do all the talking for me for a while but thought i'd better pop back in to tell you all our news. Last week we snuck off to Castaway Island in Fiji with the kids (who had no idea we were going) and whilst there we 'tied the knot', literally, in a handfasting ceremony on the beach. No traditional white wedding for us :evilsasmo

We had a great time. Weather was perfect, food was bountiful, accommodation excellent and staff were great. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants a tropical island escape.

Here's a couple of pics, hope they work!

(for those of you who don't know us, we met through this forum - or at least the forum this one spawned from - many many moons ago)

...and all the horsepower was attached to boats (one with 400 horses!)

Castaway Island was most most excellent. I wanna go back already...

Awesome stuff guys! They are stunning photos too, I think they are heaps nicer and much more original than most wedding pics! You couldnt ask for a better backdrop than that, on a tropical island.

Another couple meeting on the forums (well FF.com) much like myself and Cobra! I hope that if and when we ever get married, the setting is as good as that!

Congrats!

Congratulations

I went to Fiji last year but start at Denaru (sp) Resort on Naru i think it's called. We went for a day trip out to castaway island for snorkeling, very nice place to be.

Hope you enjoyed your day
