How/where/when did you meet – and what were your first impressions?
We met in February 2014, out in St Kilda at a bar through a mutual friends. We were both the designated drivers for the night.

MB: Dan is a landscaper with his own business, and I am a youth worker for children under the guardianship. We live in Eden Hills, SA which is a lovely green/leafy area in the foothills of Adelaide. We have a one-year-old son, Noah, and two dogs, Lulu and Frankie.
We met in the summertime – seven years ago. Amber (my maid of honour) and I were going out for a night of champagne and dancing. Ryan and Paddy (our ring bearer) had just finished a game of cricket and had been drinking beers in the sun.
I think we also knew we’d spend our lives together earlier than usual relationships due to the fact that four months in, Matt was deployed as part of his defence force job. Being away from each other for seven months definitely had its challenges but it also solidified our commitment to each other and that we could face any other challenges that could come our way.
We both grew up in Melbourne and come from big families. We love spending time with friends doing activities like walks, frisbee, picnics, lunches and dinners. We are wine lovers and both currently doing wine education courses.

A&G: Most of all, we love the mountains!! Whether it’s climbing, skiing, or just walking in nature we live as much of our lives outdoors as we can. So much so that, since getting married, we’ve moved from London to Boulder, Colorado and are spending our time roaming the Rockies!
“It was so amazing to be out and enjoying a nice dinner with friends and family after such a long time. The happiness and love we received on that day had us smiling for days and days after”

Pip: I absolutely love to cook, bake and be creative. You’ll always find me in the kitchen creating recipes from scratch to share with my family and friends. I am currently finishing off my Floristry Certificate with the hopes of creating beautiful arrangements for other couples. If I’m not in the kitchen or being creative, I’ll be spending time with Tyler and our dog Benji. Each weekend you’ll find us out for walks and grabbing a coffee.

I was born in Amsterdam and Vincent grew up a train ride away in Haarlem, but our relationship was built in a country that was foreign to us both. Living in Australia, so far from family and friends, meant we had nowhere to run when things were tough.
“The minute I met her at our friends house I knew she was the one, she made me a bit nervous so I didn’t really talk to her much that night but when I convinced her to move in as a roommate I knew we would be together forever.”

Antoine proposed on our doorstep. It was the middle of the day and he was supposed to be at work.
