| Their Perfect Romance: |
| We met through work and it didn’t take long |
for us to know we had something special.
|
| The night nat decided to propose is a funny |
| story to tell our grandchildren. He’d rung |
| and asked me to meet him at the beach |
| straight from work. He had gotten off work |
| early and picked up the ring and was going |
| to surprise me but when he was leaving he |
| realised it would be too dark and turned |
| around, went back home thinking he would |
| spell out the proposal in tea light candles in |
| our bedroom. Very romantic. Unfortunately, |
| he spilt wax everywhere and realising I |
| would have been waiting too long already, |
| grabbed all the candles and threw them in |
| the cupboard. When we got home, I went to |
| the cupboard to look for something to wear |
| and he panicked and before I could get a |
| good look at all the candles, he fell to one |
knee and blurted out his proposal!
| Their ideal Wedding: | | We had a very special wedding ceremony. | | nat’s grandmother is a marriage celebrant | | and she was the one who married us. She | | has some unique aspects to her ceremonies | | and one is the exchanging of roses. it was | | a very personal and meaningful moment for | | both of us. | | We had our ceremony and reception at | | the Victoria park Golf club and left all the | | details in the capable hands of their events | coordinator.
| | Their Unique choices: | | I had my sister as my flower girl and my | | bridesmaids’ gowns were very special and | | unique.I know because I designed them. | | My dress was from Winnie bridal and I adored | | it. When I saw it, the mannequin was wearing | | a stunning necklace of Swarovski crystals | | that, to me, made the gown extra special. | | So that necklace is now mine and of course, | I wore it on my wedding day.
| The wedding cake was made by a friend and | | was so beautiful and so special that we still | | have it. Our guests had cupcakes. | | Our wedding photos were something really | | special. Our photographer was ben from | | XSiGHT photography and Video (infinity | | Studios photography). They were amazing. | | We’d already had our engagement photos | | done by them so, of course got them back | | for the wedding. ben asked me to consider | | to a ‘Trash the dress’ shoot.I didn’t have to | | decide straight away, but once i got over the | | initial idea of exposing my beautiful dress to | | harsh conditions, nat and I really enjoyed it. | | We have absolutely beautiful photos. They | | are still on the ‘Trash the dress’ website. | | Their Bridal Insights: | | don’t stress especially on the day. You can’t | | change anything then, so just go with the | | flow. Make sure you have what you want, so | | you have no regrets and if you are thinking | | about trashing your dress. do it! • |
