Rebecca — Mike and I met at high school when I was 16 and he was 17. I’d actually had my eye on him for a while. We officially met through mutual friends and went on a date shortly after. When he picked me up, he was interrogated (as a joke) by my brothers about … Read more
Jake – I had planned a romantic surprise proposal that I guarantee Katherine would have seen coming a mile away… However on Christmas day, we shared a beautiful morning together onboard in the South of France, so I decided the time had come for me to get out the engagement ring that had been burning a … Read more
We met the old-school way, at the local pub back in 2013. I was just 21 years old, newly single and ready to party. Tim was out with his mates from the footy club and had been celebrating a win for several hours before our paths crossed. We may have been young, but Tim had … Read more
Quite unremarkably, we were on the subway up to Harlem for a friend’s birthday, deep in conversation about what we saw for ourselves in the future and the kind of lives we hoped to lead. Our hopes and dreams felt very much aligned, and we have both since pinpointed that subway ride as the moment … Read more

Spent 4 years together, and we are still independent ourselves, but we are also inspired by each … Read more
Finn works in professional sailing, and I work in marketing. We both love getting away and heading outdoors. Whether it be camping, skiing or sailing, as long as the day ends with a big bowl of pasta and a bottle of red, we’re happy. We both love being in the kitchen and entertaining family and … Read more
Jenna — I realised fairly early on in our romantic relationship that this was it for me.  It was this feeling of total calm – I no longer felt the need to question where I was or what I was doing, I stopped comparing my life to anyone else’s and was just truly happy with … Read more
We loved having the opportunity to elope privately before having a larger wedding celebration with family (which we are still planning!) Eloping took a lot of the pressure off of planning the perfect wedding, and it allowed us to focus completely on each other and on our relationship
The whole week leading up to the wedding it didn’t stop raining, and that continued on the day. We only had one option, and that was to embrace it. I honestly wouldn’t change a thing. The rain made it unforgettable!
We were never very taken with the ‘traditional’ wedding style. We really wanted to create something that was true to our own style – it had to be colourful, full of fun, and of course, include some deliciously big sleeves.
