| Their Perfect romance: |
| We have been together for more than seven |
| years. so when we went to Europe for a six- |
| week holiday, I was pretty certain, I would |
| come back an engaged woman. Not so. |
| There wasn’t ‘the right moment’. Not in front |
| of the Eiffel Tower or on a gondola in Venice! |
| We came back home and then had a short |
| holiday on day dream Island. We were on a |
| remote beach with no one around and Phil |
| got down on one knee and proposed with an |
| Irish Claddagh ring he had bought in Ireland. |
| We later had a ring designed. |
| Their Ideal Wedding: |
| We got married on a very rainy New Year’s |
| Eve. I had always wanted fireworks at my |
| wedding and I knew for sure I would have them |
| if we picked that date. Also there will always |
| be fireworks on our wedding anniversary |
| and we are never going to forget to party! |
| We were married in the historical |
| sandgate Baptist Wedding |
Chapel. Our| wedding was actually the final ceremony | | before it closed its doors for good. One of | | the highlights for me was when my 2-year- | | old flower girl stepped into the aisle and saw | | Phil standing at the front. she is my niece | | and when she saw him she gave him a great | | big wave and then ran down the aisle and | | into his arms, something I would have like | | to have done! | | Their unique Choices: | | The rain clouds and the heritage look of | | the wedding chapel made an awesome | | background for our photographer, Annette | | from Antonietta’s Photographics. The photos | | are just stunning. Because of the rain, we | | had the rest of the photos taken at uQ and | | its gorgeous sandstone walls. Annette was | | fabulous, we never stopped laughing and | | she was so much help throughout the whole | | day. | | We had our reception at the Victoria Park Golf | | Complex Marquee. We were going to have | | lamps lit to mark the entry into the reception | and also have a Cigar Lounge for the
|
| men but the rain gave us the opportunity to | | be flexible. | | Being New Year’s Eve, I didn’t have too | | much trouble finding everything I needed, | | except the cake, so I went with scrumptious | | cupcakes from shingle Inn. | | Ironically it was the drought that made my | | choice of flowers impossible. I really wanted | | david Austen roses but even with the best | | efforts, they weren’t possible. | | At the reception we had a special table -a | | Love table -with antique-framed wedding | | photos of our parents and grandparents, | | a guest book, an antique box for gift | | donations. | | We all watched the fireworks and saw in the | | New Year. | | Their Bridal Insights: | | sleep in if you can, seize the day and | | deliberately relax. start planning early and | | put everything in a folder for easy reference. | | • Thank you for your story -Ideal Bride |
