<strong>Twenty</strong> Seasons OnCathy Phelan with thebridegroom.Australia had already left to be in England in time to makearrangements. Many of us were aggrieved that John wouldnot pay our expenses in order to attend his wedding, so wedecided to have a surrogate ceremony before he left. Ourwhole Presentation evening was turned into a weddingcomplete with reception. The bride was a store mannequindressed in Karen Irvine's wedding dress. I was the minister,Percy the father of the bride, Ann Hall the matron-ofhonourand the whole first eleven were the bestmen. It was alovely wedding with the speeches providing much humour atJohn's expense, particularly the recounting of the story of howhe lived through the time when several friends shared his flatin Holder.
