Hi Derek
I know why I'm active at 4 AM Sydney time, but you? -- even allowing for the 3 hour difference.
The drawer.
The sides are quarter sawn and shouldn't move much, if at all. And I don't recall seeing the back, but conventionally it will be shorter than the sides.
Which just leaves the front.
Two options I can think of
Pack a block plane when you travel to the wedding -- just remember to change out of your suit before making any adjustments.
angle the top and bottom of the drawer front so that if it does expand too much it is only binding over a very small width.regards from Alberta, Canada

My thanks for all the kind words to all, especially those who offered opinions since one of the reasons I post to to create discussion. There are just so many ways to do joinery, and so many takes on design. We all benefit from the diversity.
This has been an interesting build (they have to be interesting, otherwise why do it?). A challenging design to reproduce with hand tools. The first time I had attempted mitred dovetails. That was interesting. It came together very satisfactorily in the end. I am in awe of the top - that Jarrah is simply stunning ... far more so in real life where you can see the chatoyance and fiddleback.
A couple of better photos (perspective is everything) ...
Thanks again.
Regards from Perth

That really is a beautiful piece, Derek. Something you should be extremely proud of.
