WELLINGTON resident Anna Rouse married Damian Lodge on Saturday, October 20, inside the Cathedral Cave at Wellington Caves. Anna is a nurse at Dubbo Base Hospital and Damien is Academic Dean at Palmerston North University in New Zealand.

Guests came from Wellington, Byron Bay, New Zealand, Tasmania, Wagga Wagga, Bathurst, Singleton, Canberra, Orange, Goulburn, Dubbo and Brisbane.

The reception was held in Wellington at the Duke of Wellington Function Centre and B&B.

The food was prepared by Head Chef Toby Rouse from Press in Dubbo, chef William Rouse from Brisbane, and assisted by Restaurant Manager Miller Rouse also from Brisbane.

Sophia Rouse sang for her sister as she walked down the aisle, accompanie­d by her Uncle Simon. Mum Laurie decorated the tables and Dad, photograph­er Colin Rouse, took the photos

Damien’s aunties from Tasmania made the beautiful fruit cake, Uncle Dave Rouse drove the bus from Dubbo to bring all the guests from Dubbo to Wellington, and friends and family all pitched in to help decorate and set up the wedding. Anna’s beautiful friend Jus did the bride’s makeup and hair.

The whole family including friends helped to make the day a wonderful fun and love filled day.

Al Smith from Dubbo entertaine­d everyone, singing throughout the night and then Damien, joined by his old band The Dogs, kept everyone up dancing. Wedding guests in the Cathedral Cave
