Ferries had been cancelled for 24 hours due to the cyclone, meaning that most of our vendors couldn't make it to the island. Oh, and there were cartwheels galore, and dancing like fairies (while wearing wings), and all of my favourite things.ДЄfter months of making sure we had equal numbers on each side of the bridal party, the two groomsmen who'd come all the way from the USA to Australia got trapped by the rising floodwaters and missed the ceremony.ДЄ lot of our guests made it to the island at the very last minute. To me, a cartwheel is an expression of joy, and there is so much joy when you get to marry the love of your life!.

Star Wars was dotted throughout the wedding: my self-made purple lightsaber earrings, the Ewok Celebration song as our recessional, Han and Leia plushies made by a dear friend on the bridal table, and unsurprisingly, we got several Star Wars-themed gifts. The cake (made by my amazing sister-in-law) had three layers: the beach/ocean at the bottom, the sky was the middle tier, and the top tier was space (complete with Han, Leia, and a Y-wing on top). We still had a great indoor party, and the decorations and wedding cake encapsulated our theme. The stars part came later: we'd envisioned an outdoor reception, although that also got moved due to cyclonic winds. But I was a determined bride - we'd come to the island for a beach wedding, so I wasn't going to give that up.

We were sinking into the sand during our vows! Water was everywhere and the wind was ferocious. We embraced the outdoor theme, but with the remnants of the cyclone and our original beach location flooded out, we had to improvise. I love the beach and I love space, so although you wouldn't think those ordinarily go together, we somehow incorporated both.
