Real Weddings

Simon also remembers this trip as a key time in their relationship, it was the ease at which both our lives were able to combine and become one.

There’s something so special about finding a best friend in someone, someone you can be vulnerable, ridiculous, frank and raw with.

We were in our own world from the start and knew it would be the beginning of a grand love story.

There was not a defining moment as such for both of us, but there was never a time either of us could imagine being without the other.

When we started dating, everything just felt perfectly right, like we were where we were meant to be, and every day has been better since then.

As they went from friends to dating to married, that feeling only ever got stronger. Maddy was always the person he was going to spend his life with.

He felt like someone I had known my whole life, and it was just easy and fun.

When I realised that every time we picture our future, we are in each other’s picture.

We both treasure banter and humour in our relationship, like being outdoors, eating good food and spending time with our son Jack and fur baby, Eddie.

We were re-introduced at the footy club Ned plays for 6 years ago and we immediately hit it off, and the rest is history!

We had so many fun times in the early stages of our relationship that I knew I wanted to continue this for the long term.

We knew within a month of dating that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together.
