My eldest brother Tony and his wife Ruth were married in 1963, a few weeks after my 21st Birthday.
My younger sister Anne married Trevor soon after mum and dad returned from their 'Big Trip' to Europe in the mid-Sixties.
Mark and Jenny married in 1970, three years after my father died.
My youngest sister Cathie married Bob on the Gold Coast while I was living overseas.
The closest Michael got to marrying was to dress-up for Tony's wedding.
Bill, the first-born of Tony and Ruth married Mindy at St Canice's in Sydney in July 2009.
Vicki married Simon while I was living overseas.
Jonathan and Birgitte married in Copenhagen
Justin and Erin married at Toowong in Brisbane. What a pity I missed this wedding.
Jacqui, the youngest of Tony and Ruth's seven children married Satya from Hyderabad, India in Melbourne in July 2010.
Two months later in September 2010, Jeremy and May, a beautiful woman of Sudanese and West Indian origins, and both specialist doctors, married in the highlands of Scotland.
Anne and Trevor's eldest son Mark married in the Nineties before Connie passed away.
Their late son David married while I was overseas.
Anne and Trevor's youngest son Michael married Chilean Tamara in the church opposite where Nanna Con lived for her last years.
Michael and Connie together a few months before Mum's death in 1996.
My godchild Lucy, first-born of Mark and Jenny, married Anthony Harding at St Anne's in Fortitude Valley while I was living overseas.
Mark and Jenny's second daughter Emily married Michael Tritton in All Saints Church Wickham Terrace in Brisbane.
Son Tim married Yuki from Japan in Mark and Jenny's garden at Buderim in Queensland.
Fourth of Mark and Jenny's children, Andrew marries Meg by the Brisbane River in September 2014
Bob Alexander was a proud dad when eldest son Dan married Kelly McVeigh at Tugun on the Gold Coast in March 2010.
Second son Paul married his long-time sweetheart, Kim in an intimate ceremony on Hamilton Island in August 2010.
And here is a 'milestone' picture of mum and dad in 1966 taken in what was then only an igloo for a Terminal at Brisbane Airport. Family and friends were farewelling them on their first round-the-world trip after the 'kids had gone' and dad was retired.
I've just turned 68 and here is the 'Official Portrait'.
