In 3 weeks time people, we will have had what I believe to be our first EO wedding.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
On November 1st Stephen and Judy are getting married in a sunset ceremony on
the beach at
Wallaroo, South Australia.
Muddy and Trippin met on EO several years ago, and after a lot of internet dating a romance has blossomed, with Judy moving to
Adelaide from
Brisbane, back a couple of years or so ago.
I first met Muddy when he bought his first 4wd, after many posts on EO (Then, "Stephen L." ) while waiting for his new Prado to arrive and be delivered, about 3 odd years ago.
When in need of somewhere to drive it the next day, I invited him to my house to meet for a coffee, and the rest is history.
Dragging him along on a very mixed array of 4wd events and camps over the next couple of years, he entered a very steep learning curve from the previous Honda civic, at times giving the Credit card hell to get the things that you just have to have to be into 4wding and
camping.
We managed to get him and the Prado this far without major incidents, but it did spend an anxious hour or two teetering on its left 2
wheels in the sandhills at
Robe one afternoon while waiting for a winch !!!
I first met Judy when she attended one of our pre Xmas EO picnics at Carrisbrooke
park at Salisbury a few years ago, while on holidays in SA.
They are both good friends and members of the YP 4wd club, and other than a bit of time off in the last 12 months to get the new house ship- shape are regular participant's in the 4wd scene.
A feast and a weekend
camping at
Wallaroo will see most of the detail covered, but a major hurdle has arisen?
What do you buy an established 4wd couple who have most of what they need for a wedding present???
Many outrageous ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers Pesty
