A Very Aussie Day

Ok. Ok. It's been a while since we've posted a blog. I promise that we're making up for it now. On the Saturday before Easter weekend, we attended an Aussie wedding and an Aussie Rules Football game. So, it was a very Aussie day.

This wedding seemed pretty similar to weddings back home except this one had an "afternoon tea" following the ceremony. Basically, everyone who was invited via Facebook was invited to afternoon tea and the real guests were invited to the reception at the country club. Yes, even the Aussies use the heck out of Facebook.




The Aussie Rules Football ("Footy") game was interesting to say the least. The field is in the shape of an oval and is really huge. Our pictures do not do it justice. The players are very fit but those short shorts really take away from their masculinity. We had no idea what was going on but we had fun hanging out with Shawn's classmates. They made us laugh even when we're trying to take a picture. Oh, those Carnegie Mellon kids!
