In the beginning, our relationship was a case of right person, wrong time. At 21 and 22 respectively, we both had a lot of growing up to do and ended up parting ways.
Steph and I both wanted timeless, classic elegance balanced with a contemporary chic style for our wedding and we were in luck when the perfect venue in Adelaide was available on the date of our anniversary.
I wanted the big white wedding, but wanted to have it on my family’s property, by the river and surrounded by the vines.
We’re both real estate agents. We live on the coast in NSW where we spend as much time as possible in the ocean.
Nick always has a way of knowing things way before I do. He told me pretty early on that he would marry me – and like most things – he was right.
We wanted it to feel relaxed, intimate, and charming, with an emphasis on the relaxed part. We just wanted everyone to have a good time and wanted to avoid too many stuffy wedding formalities. We also didn’t want to get too swept up in the commercial aspect of it all by spending silly amounts of money.
Like many modern-day fairy tales, ours started in the virtual world. When we first met, we didn’t know it at the time, but we lived within a stone’s throw from each other.
For our first date Hen dragged me away from the library and took me for a flight around Dunedin and the Otago coast in a Cesna followed by lunch. It set the bar pretty high!
Steven was always my “what if” and it turned out that I was his...
It was quite early in the dating game that I knew Matt was someone I could see a long and happy future with. I loved how we both shared an equal passion for Architecture and Sport which is quite rare in our industry. I recall sending Mum & Dad a text telling them I had met someone following a dinner at Mexico and that was probably the moment!
I am absolutely in love with Paris and Lennard and I had just planned our first trip together since Covid to Paris. He knew my dream was to stay in the Shangri-la in Paris with the Eiffel Tower view so he surprised me by booking the most exquisite Prince Bonaparte room and got down on one knee there with a view of the Eiffel Tower in the background.
Tell us a little about yourselves, what you do, what you love…
Tim and I consider ourselves ‘introverted extroverts’ and tend to shy away from big events or celebrations surrounding ourselves. So, the idea of eloping was something that really suited us and what we had envisioned for a wedding.
