As this was not just a celebration for Eli and I, we added other special touches with wearing my Grandfather\u2019s war medals on my dress, or finding photos of every guest with Eli and I to take home as a thanks, to wanting the bridesmaids to find dresses that was their personality style and different to each other. We wanted everyone there to know how important they are to our lives and our relationship journey so we hoped everyone felt represented by our wedding vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Tell us a little about yourselves, what you do, what you love\u2026

Aside from that, I\u2019m also proud to be running a Netball Club\/Community (with incredible women) which I founded over 5 years ago. On the days Eli has heard enough of social justice issues, I take a break and go horse riding, drink margaritas with the girls and eat with my family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
