About
For about 25 years I have been presenting the weather with Channel 10. I also host numerous events around town. As Ambassador of the Lost Dogs Home, and a dog owner/lover, Australia Day Ambassador and Variety Club Ambassador I'm always hosting community events. Weekends are also spent with my wife and kids (lots of sport) and catching up with friends, as well as marrying couples. I also love to travel, and do so early January & early July.

I would suggest putting 2.30 on the invitation or 2.45sharp (there is always bound to be guests arriving late) intending to start your ceremony at 3. This still leaves plenty of time for photos ... the last thing you want to be doing is rushing your photographer. Enjoy your wedding ??.
