Their Perfect Romance: |
| Ryan and i met through mutual friends. We |
| were part of the same circle of friends but for |
| quite some time our paths hadn’t crossed. it |
| was after an AFl game that everybody met |
| up at Ryan’s place and you could almost say |
| it was love at first sight. Well, it was definitely |
| love of his sexy Scottish accent, that drew |
| me to him and we have been together ever |
| since. it was at his 30th birthday party that |
| Ryan proposed. I was a bit surprised when he |
| tapped on his glass as I thought there wasn’t |
| going to be any speeches.I just thought he |
| was going to say a little ‘thank you’ speech, |
| but instead he called me over and then, |
| right in front of all our family and friends, |
| he proposed! it was so good to share that |
| moment with those who love us. |
Their ideal Wedding: |
| We had our ceremony and reception |
| at the Victoria park Golf |
| c l u b . |
| The chaplain from Ryan’s old school (bbc) |
| married the two of us. being Ryan’s rugby |
| union coach, he had played a very special |
| part in his life! The theme of our wedding |
| was definitely Scottish. Quite a few of |
| Ryan’s family flew over from Scotland and |
| there were men in kilts everywhere. Ryan’s |
| dad wore a kilt for the very first time. Ryan |
| and the groomsmen all wore kilts. We had |
| bagpipes as well. The girls and I were piped |
| down the aisle and they also played as the |
| wedding party left the ceremony. |
| We had a traditional Scottish grace at the |
| wedding reception and a member of Ryan’s |
| family representing those living in Scotland |
| officially welcomed me into their family. it |
| was very special and meant a great deal to |
| me. |
Their Unique choices: |
| The navy of my bridesmaids’ dresses |
| complemented the tartan of the kilts. I just |
| loved my creamy and ivory bouquets from |
| Daisy days. We had live music from The |
| blue cats. They were great. They looked |
| like Buddy Holly and the crickets and even |
| sounded like them. Melissa McMicking was |
| our photographer. I don’t think the day would |
| have been the same without her. She made |
| the whole experience fun and was able to |
| get our photos to us within the week, which |
| meant we could take them with us on our |
| honeymoon. We honeymooned in Scotland |
| for a whole month, meeting lots of Ryan’s |
| relatives.It seemed like a huge continuous |
| wedding celebration. |
Their Bridal Insights: |
| Don’t let all the details cloud out the most |
| important thing. A couple of days before the |
| wedding,I had a bit of a melt-down and Ryan |
| put his arms around me and told me the most |
| important thing about our wedding day was |
| that it was the day he would be marrying me |
| and that meant it was going to be perfect. |
| And it was... • |
