Their Perfect Romance |
| When I met Jared, I was being introduced to my boss! First, I |
| fell in love with his looks but over the months, it became more |
| than that for both of us. i was at his house with other staff |
| and friends to watch a grand final match and he told me he |
| loved me. We began that day (4 years ago) to plan our future. |
| after a couple of years, we got pregnant and were overjoyed. |
| Jared proposed at a nature reserve with a massive waterfall in |
| the background and a beautiful lake in the foreground. i was |
| thinking how romantic it was, when Jared spun me around and |
| got down on one knee and asked: Will you marry me? my first |
| response was tears (i was pregnant!) and then i said yes. We |
| eventually walked back to the car park and there were my |
| parents waiting with champagne for everyone. |
| Their Ideal Wedding |
| We started planning the wedding after our little girl was born. |
| our wedding day signalled a new phase in our lives, as 5 |
| days before we received the keys to our brand new home. |
| So we honeymooned in our new home with our 19 month old |
| daughter. |
| my wedding colour was white with touches of gold and red. We |
| didn’t go into debt for our wedding but paid off each expense |
| as it occurred. |
| We live on the Sunshine Coast and wanted something different |
| to a beach wedding and found the Sanctuary. its décor was |
| straight after my heart with chandeliers, vintage mirrors, |
| elegance and old-world ambience. Yet it has an enormous |
| wooden deck overlooking acres of beautiful grounds and |
| rainforests. our guests had plenty to look at while they were |
| served drinks and canapés during our photoshoot. |
| Their Unique Choices |
| My mum paid for my wedding dress. it was from hills in |
| hollywood, and the first one i tried on. it was so feminine with |
| all the lace, yet glamorous and sexy as well. the bridesmaids’ |
| dresses were simple red strapless cocktail dresses. my little |
| girl was the flower girl and her dress had the same red but |
| with a tulle skirt and lots of tiny red roses to match the red |
| roses in the bouquets with the added touch of gold ribbon. |
| my bouquet was a tear drop with lilies as well as red roses. |
| our cake was from Cake inspirations and was three |
| rectangular tiers with gold ribbon around each tier and a |
| cascade of red roses. another touch of gold was Ferrero |
| Roche chocolates for our guests. they looked superb |
| against the gold and white tablecloths. on our table was a |
| 5 tier candelabra. |
| We chose artisan Photography because andrej was a |
| friend and colleague. and we knew that with Queensland |
| Photographer of the Year award under his belt, our photos |
| would be fantastic. • Thank you for your story - Ideal Bride |
