Royce & Caroline
They were at the top of a look out viewing the picturesque lake below Wanaka where Royce had it all planned out in his head to 'pop the question', but there were Taiwanese tourists filming themselves and it kind of ruined the moment. The Taiwanese were very eager to include Caroline and Royce in their film and even asked them to wave to the camera as they panned past... Well it was a nice walk anyway. Descending down the track only minutes later, Caroline exclaimed "We should have asked them for a copy of the movie", and in that moment Royce had an idea. They turned around and headed back up the mountain and stopped and asked the Taiwanese "Would you mind sending us a copy of the movie?... and infact would you mind filming us a bit more?" They agreed and then Royce got down on one knee and proposed to Caroline. Caroline was overwhelmed and ummm well the Taiwanese... they were over the moon, guess they had just captured their very first proposal on tape!!! Roll on a few months and an overcast morning arrives, but no rain, yeah!! (You have to be secretly happy about this when you're in the middle of a drought!) Caroline is Malaysian Chinese and so it was only appropriate that the day began with a traditional Chinese tea ceremony...

It's great to have family around who are prepared to feed you so you don't get curry on your dress!!

Off to Mona Vale, Royce's family farm from 100 years ago, no longer in the family so a real treat to be able to take one's photographs there. Lots of limestone cliffs and century old trees.
