I've journeyed back to Australia for a couple weeks for a few reasons. 1) To spend some quality time with my PhD; 2) Play a bit of soccer with the soccer ladies and get back into some semblance of fitness; and 3) the wedding of Nicole Kuepper and Joel Russel.
Nicole Kuepper (a.k.a. Nickel Copper) is the darling of the UNSW PV Centre. Two massive murals featuring her glowing face and an inspirational quote from her grace the scaffolding of the new Energy Technology Building currently being built on lower campus. Here are John & Cath hanging out with our friend Nicole:
Nicole & Joel are a true power couple. Joel's dad is a diplomat, so somehow he's in diplomat training now and the two of them are living in London. Nicole's also been working full time there, and writing her thesis at the same time. Friday she went for the trial make-up & hair-do, got the OK from Stuart to submit her thesis, went down all done up to submit, then and hour and a half later was down at City Hall getting her marriage licence! Life at 100 mph.
The wedding was great. It was at a botanical gardens, so beautiful, if somewhat cold. Here's a bit of a blurry shot of the ceremony:
After the ceremony there was champagne & nibblies, a double-rainbow graced the sky, then it started to rain a bit and we all headed indoors for more food & drinks. The guys watched the NRL grand final. Dinner & speeches were fantastic. And then we danced until 3am. Great night.
