Making it legal Pt 2

We finally arrived in Broome and Kylie took us to the first destination - to buy Maccas to eat on the beach. Small things but as Linda, Belinda nor I had tasted Maccas or seen the ocean for over a year it was simply amazing.
 
The sky and ocean was so blue, the breeze warm, the sea clear and the sea smell was just divine.
 We had on our agenda to see the staircase to the moon; a natural phenomena when the full moon rises over a low tide on the mudflats at Broome creating a staircase effect.
We got some drinks, chairs and settled into the sunset and moon rise and the wait was well worth it. These photos do not do it justice.

Finally the big day arrived and we spent the morning exploring Broome. We visited the market, enjoyed milkshakes and smoothies in China town and soaked in the sunshine and ocean breeze again.
 
Then we all went home to get ready for the big moment but not before collecting these beauties.

The next hurdle was to get the politicians who rule our lives to vote in favour and to make marriage equality legal. Before Xmas in 2017, marriage equality became law. Linda and I were free to make our relationship legal in the eyes of society and the law. We had previously booked a holiday - a long weekend in Broome for March 2018. Now it seemed only natural to "make it legal". To add to the excitement was that it was a Pride Weekend in Broome with a Drag Show and all things celebrating Gay Pride. We booked a celebrant and immediately started to organise all our paperwork that proved that we were who we said we were and that we were free to marry.  Just like everyone else who gets married....marriage equality already working for us. The next step was to find two witnesses. Who better than our Kimberley sisters, Belinda and Kylie. Belinda li...
