The heartwarming roars of laughter at the wedding reception from the the guests, and especially the newly wed Mr & Mrs Fabik, as we watched the Serpies’s kind and creative video greetings for Kristy and Mark was memorable for all the right reasons.
As just reward for her clandestine efforts last September, Kristy’s aunt Bette had the pleasure of filming swimmers and their messages, and being on the day of the All Clothes race this augmented the dress-up sense of occasion. It was a family affair as Ashleigh McIntyre, Kristy's sister post-produced the video.
On their wedding day, Kristy and Mark, who both looked fabulous, had no idea of the video treat which awaited them when they were asked to look into a wall mounted mirror. Before their eyes, the mirror transformed into a video screen where they saw the familiar faces and sights in the video here on this page.
The video:
We Serpies were in Newcastle, NSW, for the wedding of two Serpentine SC lifers, Kristy McIntyre and Mark Fabik. Present included Sydney-based Serpies in Victoria Ross, and the happy couple, Melbourne’s Ange Johnson, and the rest of us London-based in body and in kindred spirit.
Congratulations from all at the Serpentine to the happy couple. The photos tell more of the story over a few days of the odysseys of various swimmers as we made our swimming way to the wedding venue.
