Real Wedding

With a breathtaking view of the fjord and the sensation of being entirely alone in the world, Patrick surprised me back by proposing.

That’s when I realized that I didn’t want to be with anyone else and that Matt was the only one who could make me laugh as hard as that and shared the same sense of humour.

We wanted our day to feel calm and relaxed. Our biggest priority was that it felt like a true reflection of us and our love. And that our guests had a great time.

We both look back over this night so fondly because it felt like we could be anywhere in the world, and it wouldn’t matter as long as we were together.

In the beginning, it was just hanging out as housemates/friends, watching movies, and going on hikes, then it became the night conversations about what we wanted to do with our lives and where we wanted to go travelling.

After months on end living through Melbourne’s lockdown, not being able to leave our suburb or see anyone else but each other, this could kill a relationship, but we had so much fun and found we could be easily entertained just the two of us.

We would laugh freely and share our deepest and most embarrassing secrets from the very first date.

Since then, we have gone through ups and downs together and apart, but all roads have led us back together and to our wonderful wedding.

I knew pretty shortly after dating that our relationship was different than anything I’d ever experienced, and I couldn’t picture my life without him.

We started drifting towards expensive yachts but fortunately someone from one of those yachts dived in to save us. We eventually found an intimate spot and I proposed.

We met 7 years ago at a marketing event in Spain, and from the very first time, we knew that we were made to be together.
