Kerrigan and Michelle celebrated their Marriage in a
Fairytale Wedding Ceremony & Gala Reception, shared by
the couples Family and Closest Friends, on September 28th 2007.
Kerrigan had ever laid eyes on. She of course had eyes only for
him, her handsome Groom.

harassed by false allegations which were triggered by jealousy and
desperate attempts to destroy the couples happiness, but Family

overcoming their secret torment and for their strong determination
and absolute faith in God, that nothing and no one was going to
ruin their perfect day.

travelling unaccompanied in the 1939 Mercedes Benz on the
somewhat long journey ahead, during peak-hour traffic on the
Eve of the Footy 'Grand Final' - neither could she!
So the couple travelled together, hand in
hand, side by side, reading through some of the heartfelt
wishes expressed in Wedding Cards given by faithful family
members, moments before they stepped into the car.

....Walking the Red Carpet
The Ceremony was sentimental and romantic and in true
Kerrigan & Michelle fashion, it was totally different and
unique.
Here Comes The Bride
the organ played 'Here Comes The Bride'
and Michelle walked down the aisle.
She was glowing and looked as pretty as a picture.
But once the Ivory-Clad couple met, the music changed to the
haunting theme of "A Summer Place".
They repeated their self-penned Vows looking into each
others eyes. Every member of the 120 plus guests present
were touched by the couples sincerity.
Two other special songs were "The Ceremony" by George Jones &
Tammy Wynette and the couples signature tune, "My Kind Of Woman,
My Kind Of Man" by Vince Gill & Patty Loveless, which was played
that Memorable Day on May 16th when Kerrigan got down on one knee
and proposed to Michelle aboard a Gondola on the Yarra River.
(Check out the Link to their Engagement at the Bottom of the Page.)
Singing the Above songs to each other
The two Hymns sung were "Voice That Breathed O'er Eden" & "How Great
Thou Art".
But Who's Counting?
"With Pleasure"
The Blessing
And a Thankful Word of Prayer
For the Perfection the Lord Blessed Upon Them

Walking The Red Carpet

and wide to be there. Some as much as 24 hours. The guest list
included the Mayor, Minister of Parliament, about 7 Pastors
and Councillors from the Casey Shire.

then it was time for the three couples of the Bridal Party to
make their entrance. Kerrigan's sister Junette was also
present and eldest brother Leon had made a special visit
to wish the couple minutes prior to them leaving their home for
the church.
and a sea of smiling faces as their signature tune "My Kind Of
Woman" played in the background.
They cut the Ribbon....
....Overcoming a minor glitch, pointed out by Michelle and hardly
concealed by Kerrigan's contageous laughter....
And then they cut the Wedding Cake,
laughingly overcoming yet another minor glitch.
The cake was a magnificient 3-tier structure, made in the shape of
an Ivory Grand Piano, similar to the one in their home, often played
by Kerrigan and on which he writes some of his songs.
Which 'Key' do we Cut Through?
Middle 'C' is it?

And then the Toast!
The colour scheme for the Evening was Gold & Ivory.
Everyone present claimed to have an awesome night, complimenting the
food, the sheer elegance surrounding them, the beautiful ambience and
most of all admiring the True Love expressed between the blushing Bride
and her smiling Groom, whose only disagreements are still questions of
"Who is Luckier than the other to have one another in their life and Who
loves each other more?".

and they did so with style, to the tune of their favourite song,
'My Kind Of Woman, My Kind of Man',
seemingly floating on clouds, literally,
created by a special 'dry-ice/smoky' effect.
This was followed by another waltsz "Could I Have This Dance" when
everyone else joined them on the floor.
Moments Of Madness
Sri Lanka and although that was a fantastic surprise
it was still not the highlight of the night.
Neither was it when Kerrigan serenaded his Bride.
..................................
The ultimate climax of the night was when 'Michelle' sang
to 'Kerrigan', taking his breath away as she sang "Good As Gold."
The Groom was sitting a few feet away from her, on his haunches,
admiring her through loving eyes. She in turn meant every word she
sang with love overflowing in her eyes. The couple couldn't tear
their gaze away from each other and just for a few moments were totally
oblivious to everybody else around them.
Although Kerrigan insists Michelle's Dedication was the Highlight
of the night, it was no ordinary moment when he sang "Falling In Love"
to his Bride and reached out and took her hand in his at the
appropriate time.

private Marriage Ceremony which took place on August 17th.
Despite getting dressed by 10.30 in the morning they still had
lots of energy in store.....well perhaps not 'lots', but 'enough.'
They were whisked off to Parliament House in the city of Melbourne
for more photographs after Midnight.
