Open homes and public inspections are now legal in some parts of the country while other gatherings such as a funeral, weddings and family barbecues are still limited to a small number.
That disgusting piece of information is why a young Betoota Heights couple has decided to tie the knot this weekend inside a River Road open home inspection on Saturday.
Oscar Dearden and Amy Coleman are hosting it there because they want to invite more than ten people.
They’d already paid the celebrant and caterers earlier this year and had locked in a date. While friends from overseas can’t come, nor ones from the South or the Territory, they’re still expected well over a hundred people to show up at the inspection.
“It’s a bit sad, isn’t it?” said Oscar.
“That real estate is so important in this country that it’s the first public gathering to open up again. If I could get away with it, I think I’d kill a real estate agent. Or even better, a landlord.”
Amy hit Oscar firmly on the arm and told him to shut up.
“Don’t listen to him,” she spat.
“He’s just being silly. We are just making the best of a bad situation! We have to operate within the law and this is the best we can do. It’ll be nice to have some of our friends there but it’ll also be sad because so many can’t come,”
“At the risk of sounding like a rugby league player who’s just be caught with his pants down, it is what it is.”
Oscar laughed.
“I think she means, ‘Life’s a bitch and then you die!'”
More to come.
