Yesterday, on a steamy Queensland summer’s day, Team Kerle united with Team Hawkins to celebrate the wedding of Sophie & Rodney. It will live long in our memories for many reasons. But mostly, as usual, for the people present, the lives they have lived & the love they all have for each other. The next Bledisloe Cup match can only be more interesting………….

The magnificent Sheraton Mirage, at Main Beach on the Gold Coast was where the story of the day began.

One more for the beautiful Kerle sisters.
This was our last wedding for 2009 & in our wildest dreams we couldn’t have asked for more. More intimacy, more laughter, more history, more beauty would not have possible. We are truly blessed to have met you all & shared this day with you. We will always hold it dear in our hearts. Thank you for this window into your family & your lives. Love Ben & Jodie xo
