We've got a couple family members in to day, 27 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 2: but the majority are here in the territory, mostly in 28 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 2: our springs, so they'll be coming up, traveling up, looking 29 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 2: to come visit for our special occasion. 30 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: Now, you've had an interesting lead up to this day though, 31 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: haven't You've had to postpone the wedding a couple of times? Now? 32 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, because we were living in our springs, we got 33 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 2: engaged and then we were looking to get married in 34 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 2: twenty eighteen, but due to me having to go back 35 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 2: and do some work, had an opportunity that sort of 36 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 2: put that on hold. And then we looked out planning 37 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 2: for twenty twenty, but due to COVID obviously that didn't 38 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 2: go ahead. So then we sort of just look for 39 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 2: a date sometime during the dry up here in darw And, 40 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 2: which was the thirty first July. 41 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: Well you what, mate, what's your fiance's name? 42 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 2: Her name's Kirby. 43 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 3: Sorry, can you say that again? 44 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: Kirby kirbybe Oh, well, I'll tell you what I understand 45 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: that Kirby is a fantastic organizer and that she has 46 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: done a fantastic job in terms of organizing things. 47 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 3: But David, mate, you were given one job, is that right? 48 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 2: Yes, that is correct. Basically, she's she's she's the engine 49 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 2: room of our family. She does everything. Without her would 50 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 2: just come at a standstill. So basically she took on 51 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 2: board everything. She gave me one job from the beginning 52 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 2: a few months ago. Oh, pretty much last year when 53 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 2: we had to postpone so I thought I just left 54 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 2: it last minute, and that was the book accommodation for 55 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 2: our wedding night. 56 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: Now, mate, you are in a spot of bother because 57 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: you can't actually find any now. 58 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred. I've been looking since probably early started 59 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 2: this year. I did a quick look around, but unfortunately, 60 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 2: due to the wedding dates, the day we picked he's 61 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 2: actually the day on Cuple weekends. So it's probably the 62 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 2: biggest time in daw And I guess in terms of 63 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 2: people come in to dow And and accommodation has just 64 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 2: been snapped up.
