Nathan looking a little sheepish - why? Do wedding make you nervous?!

Craig, Tracey & Gayle waiting for the ceremony to start!

The reading being read by Jen's sister, with everyone listening intently!

Jen & Phil enjoying some of the local entertainment...

...from the Wellington Ukulele Orchestra! Awesome!

Post-nuptials - guests gather outside Old St Paul's.

Anyone else notice the English theme here?! Nathan & Joanna think about hitching a ride back to London due to the flight chaos!

The 'appy couple!

As the taxi was blocked in and booked, we tried the bus! Which was fine until some serious amounts of smoke started to pour from the engine. To the Subaru Batman!

At the reception at Wilton House where Hen & Stag party members compared the 'lost weekend'.

That's a lovely shot!

The cutting of the cake - classic shot!

Joanna, Jen & Tracey enjoying a glass or two!

I want to see crazy faces! Hmm, I think a couple of people could have tried a little harder! It was late and there was dancing to be had...

Ladi6 on stage - one of the great surprises!

VID: This dude was obviously on something - I'm talking strings! I was wondering how can you dance like a Thunderbird this well?! Do you think that his real hair too?! Bogans! Just can't keep them away!

18.01 When Prince William came to town!

There was a lot of excitement in Wellington for the visit of Prince William. So as we were in the area, Jo and I decided to head down to the Supreme Court to view the future King of England.

With some clever positioning between two groups of kids (one with some flowers) I managed to get into the second row. After an hour's wait under warm clear blues skies (only the third one of the summer so far) Jo joined me again after returning to work.

The Prince arrives in a Crown Limousine, and Jo gets a special wave!

Just after the Prince shook my hand, as he looks for the next one coming out at him from the crowd!

The Prince continues down the line, with the press catching every shake!

The following video was taken from One News. Look out for me at 1:03 standing in the crowd (in the yellow T) as Abby does her piece to camera, and then at 1:39 standing behind the really annoying girl in purple being interviewed.
