Tamika was attended by bridesmaids Krystal Brewer, Shiralee Connors, Nikkea Walker and junior bridesmaid Shynese Connors.
Casey’s groomsmen were Cliff Woodham, Jack Finnerty and Krestan Connors. Blake Connors took on the role of ring bearer and Makayla Connors made a very cute flower girl.
Tamika’s beautiful gown was the result of many months of hard work on the part of her mother, Shellie Walsh, as were the abundant decorations at the venue. Her father David is now looking forward to having some semblance of order restored to their home!
One outstanding item Tamika was delighted to be wearing for the occasion was a beautiful laced pearl necklace previously owned by her paternal grandmother.

The usual athletics meet on Friday January 30 was cancelled due to the excessive hot weather. However, a special gathering took place especially to draw the raffle.
The lucky ticket holders have been contacted and are: Cathy Close, Finley - $150 Visa Gift Card; Warwick Dougla, Finley – Guess Watch; Colleen from Tocumwal – Frank Green Drink Bottle; Sarah Gray, Finley - Aussie Man Hands Gift Pack; Jody Brown, Jerilderie - $30 Manto’s Produce and Providore voucher.
The organisers would like to thank the communities of Finley, Tocumwal, Berrigan and Jerilderie for their support in making it possible for the young athletes, some for the very first time, to gain experience at the regional carnival.
It is expected that a report on the visit to Wollongong will be available next week.
