Tell us a little about yourselves, what you do, what you love, what is unique about you and your relationship\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We met at a mutual friend\u2019s (and future groomsman!) 21st Birthday, in March 2013. Atfer talking for hours at the party, Jack asked Clementine to ‘hang out in Melbourne sometime’. Our first date was one week later at a caf\u00e9 on Lygon Street. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

We walked all over Carlton and talked for hours! We were just 21 year old Uni students when we met, and have now been together for 7 years! We like watching old classic movies, exploring Melbourne and Victoria together, and going to concerts and the theatre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jack proposed in December 2018. The night before Jack told Clementine that he was taking her to lunch at Sydney\u2019s Aria restaurant overlooking Circular Quay as an early Christmas present. Waiting for here there was a huge bouquet of peonies (her favourite flower) which Jack had gone to great difficulty to find out of season! Afterwards, we went for a walk in the Sydney Royal Botanic Gardens and it soon became clear Jack was leading somewhere, until we came across a beautiful picnic laid out under a huge old Moreton Bay Fig tree overlooking Sydney Harbour (secretly guarded by Clementine\u2019s Maid of Honour to be), and Clementine finally realised what was happening and started to cry! Jack got down on one knee and proposed with a beautiful ruby ring, and Clementine said yes! It felt very private, quiet and beautiful underneath the fig tree together. Jack had one last surprise, and had booked a suite at the Shangri-La Hotel, looking over the harbour, where we danced around our suite celebrating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
