“Ben and I were married at Glengariff Estate in Dayboro just before sunset. As cliché as it sounds, it really was the most amazing day of our lives so far! It surpassed all of our preconceptions of how we dreamed our wedding day to be and we will never forget the emotions we felt that day. Ben and I wanted our wedding to be expressive of who we are so we had a fun red, black, white & polka dot theme. We carried it on right down to the inside of our cake!
On the day we were incredibly lucky to have great weather as the day before our wedding and the day after it poured down rain and flooded at our venue. But for a bride, I wasn’t too worried as Ben has always been a lucky charm and even if it did rain, we would still be getting married so what more did we need?! Ben and I opted to meet up and have photos taken prior to the ceremony. This was so there wasn’t a big gap between our ceremony and when we got to mingle with our guests at the reception (and play in the photobooth!). Ben and I met up at the Stamford Plaza where the girls and I got ready. We popped next door for a few photos at the Botanical Gardens before going to the powerhouse and then heading off to the ceremony separately!
My most memorable moment of the entire day was holding Ben’s hands and hearing him say the words ‘I do’. I will never forget the joy, love and honour I felt in that very moment. Realising that no matter what life brings I will be fine as I will always have him by my side. I don’t need for anything else.
My advice to future brides and grooms is when the day finally arrives, just go with the flow of the day. Chances are that something is going to go wrong, run a little overtime or be forgotten, but on the day none of it matters. The day will still be amazing and you need to enjoy it, every minute, as the day goes so fast!”
