Default getting married today, what knot for the tie??

getting married this afternoon at the colebee centre...
for those of you in the sydney area, you will know (maybe) the nurragingi reserve, and the colebee centre...
thats where its being held at, in doonside...
cant wait, should be good... hopefully the weather is like it has been the last couple of days...
one question, what type of tie knot do i have to use?
but other than that, should be a great day...
will have pics for those interested...

Being a Ford forum it will have to be a Windsor knot !

Out of all the things to be worried about....you're worried about the tie knot?

HAHA! You've got a very relaxed view on things.

Hee hee hee.
Exactly ... good material for post of the day

Congrats on the wedding ... hope you have a great honeymoon.
I know exactly where you are getting married ... not far from my in-laws place.

At least they managed to clear most of the brown snakes out of the reserve ... was closed for a while due to it being overrun with them.
