An Adventurous Wedding!

This couple decided to marry in Victoria on the Puffing Billy Steam Train. As a surprise for the 20 overseas guests coming from overseas the couple decided to organize an unexpected show as part of their wedding celebrations.

The couple celebrated their marriage at Ferny Creek, and after which the guests and the newly married couple boarded the train to be given hors d'oeuvres by the train driver and the train conductor.

Suddenly, terrifyingly a band of bush rangers rode over the hill, held up the train and proceeded to carry off a screaming guest. The unfortunate guest was then tied to a tree while from one of the train windows a mad Irish woman was calling out to them to take her too. The British red coats - soldiers - appeared also on horseback, to chase away the bush rangers and rescue the guest.

After all this drama the train puffed its way up to a bridge where it stopped. The groom carried his bride across the bridge to the cheers of the guests and members of the relieved public.

The Reception took place at the end of the line, where once again the conductor and the engine driver served the food and drinks. It was a great party which of course ended on time as the train had to stay with its timetable.

The verdict of the guests heaps of fun and a credit to the steam train society who were all part of the proceedings.

Now should you wish to try and find any of the paraphanalia that would have been used by the historical society to create the backdrop to the bushranger themed wedding a good place to go would be to ebay - so if you are interested just click the article header and for your ease it will take you straight there!

The Creation of Woman


One day, after a near eternity in the Garden of Eden, Adam calls out to
God, 'Lord, I have a problem.'

'What's the problem, Adam?', God replies.

'Lord, I know you created me and have provided for me and surrounded me
with this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals, but I'm just
not happy'

'Why is that, Adam?', comes the reply from the heavens.

'Lord, I know you created this place for me, with all this lovely food and
all of the beautiful animals, but I am lonely.'

'Well Adam, in that case I have the perfect solution. I shall create a
'woman' for you.'

'What's a 'woman', Lord?'

'This 'woman' will be the most intelligent, sensitive, caring, and
beautiful creature I have ever created. She will be so intelligent that she
can figure out what you want before you want it. She will be so sensitive
and caring that she will know your every mood and how to make you happy.

Her beauty will rival that of the heavens and earth. She will unquestioningly
care for your every need and desire. She will be the perfect companion
for you.', replies the heavenly voice.

'Sounds great.'

'She will be, but this is going to cost you, Adam.'

'How much will this 'woman' cost me Lord?', Adam replies.

'She'll cost you your right arm, your right leg, an eye, an ear, and your
left testicle.'

Adam ponders this for some time, with a look of deep thought and concern
on his face. Finally Adam says to God, 'Ehhh, what can I get for a rib?'

The rest, as they say, is history.
