24.04.24

It was amidst the hum of engines and the scent of grease, when Brianna’s eyes first caught sight of Nelson, eight years ago during a chance encounter at Caloundra City Autos.

She was dropping her brother James off for his work experience shift when she spotted a super hot mechanic in the yard. Nothing came of it though and the years flew by until 2019 when fate intervened.

James had lost his license again, which was great news as it meant Brianna found herself back at the auto shop, where she could indulge in a harmless perve session on her brother’s dream boat co worker.

He was walking across the yard to his car, wearing his multicoloured lensed sunglasses and he was seriously hot. She couldn’t NOT add him to Facebook. And when he posted about the passing of his families dog, she knew it was her time to shine.

27.04.24

It all began in the hallowed halls of all Souls St Gabriel’s, all the way back in 2013 when Isabel was a ripe 13 years old, navigating the tumultuous waters of early adolescence.

Amongst her cohort, there he was. Wearing that renowned silver and black striped tie, surrounded by his friends, probally having a laugh at his own silly joke… Noel Bridges.

She found herself drawn to him, perhaps not fully understanding the gravity of her feelings at the time.
He seemed kind of weird and desperately needed a hair cut but that fleeting second they first spotted each other, inside one of Charters Tower’s most historic establishments began a series of events, albiet slow moving ones that would build the foundations of their one day incredible relationship and ultimately lead them to their future as Husband & Wife.

They maintained a distant and platonic peer relationship, their paths crossed intermittently over the years, all the while with Isabel harbouring a secret crush on Noel while he remained oblivious to her affections. Until Isabel discovered that she couldn’t ignore her feelings any longer, when spending the afternoon with Noel’s sister, she surely proclaimed ‘I’m going to date your brother one day’.

24.04.24

It was a chance encounter, the figurative passing of ships, when Danielle & Nathan first met 5 years ago at the Burdekin Growers Race Day.

Nathan was pretty blind but he reckons it would have been a nice day and he distinctly remembers thinking ‘Oh she’s not bad’, before their passing introduction had ended and they went their seperate ways.

There’s a slight running disagreement over what happened next - who was first to partake in a Facebook stalk and initial message but it happened and so began a conversation, albiet a slow one, that would change their entire lives.

In time, the messages became a little more frequent, the responses a little longer and eventually, Nathan asked Danielle to dinner.

He arrived to her house, picking her up for their date at Shop Six Pasta Bar and juuuust to be polite as they were leaving Danielle offered ‘we can take my car if you want’ to which Nathan agreed. So off they were, Danielle driving to the date that he asked her to, weird flex, but okay.

During the trip, Danielle was skipping each song 30 seconds in, one of her favourite things to do, to which Nathan retorted ‘do you ever just let a full song play’…. Whoooo did this guy think he was. Surely not the kind of guy bold enough to let Danielle pay for their date after critiquing her song skipping habbit? Precisely.

As they were approaching the counter Danielle, solely for the sake of seeming equitable offered ‘I can get it if you want’… to which Nathan responded ‘oh righto… cheers…’.

Immediatley Danielle sensed that this guy wasn’t a chivalrous gentleman type and was regretting even agreeing to the date. And Nathan was as confused as ever as to what had gone wrong. The first date vibe was off, and needles to say they weren’t in a rush for as second.

20.04.24

It seemed like a nothing out of the ordinary, very normal non eventful trip… except for one key piece of information that Jade casually mentioned to Em. They were going to be photographed for a restaurants promotional purposes… because a New Zealand photographer just contacted him out of nowhere needing 2 random Australian’s for a branding shoot across the ocean. It made perfect sense. 

The photographer was taking images for The New Zealand food and wine magazine and had asked them to be the models, having their photos taken at the various locations she would be visiting. 

Mhhmm. 
It was a fancy winery resort, they would get a 3 course dinner and local wines provided free of charge and would be acting like extra “models” for the magazine. No, that’s not suspicious at all. 

They met at the arranged transportation, headed for the ‘commercial shoot’ and following the GPS, it occurred to them that they were becoming increasingly closer to the airport. As they pulled into the entrance of the heliport, Jade wondered ‘sh*ttt, how do I play this off?’

Jade stared open mouthed, the most genuine look of shock he could attempt and exclaimed to her “What the hell! What if it’s a helicopter taking us to the restaurant?? WOW, they’ve really covered everything”.

He was in prime acting mode, delivering what he thought was a golden globe worthy reaction, certain that his future wife was blissfully ignorant to his mastermind plan of proposal.

06.04.24

It was within record time - 24 hours to be exact, once the initial swipes and introductions were made, that Dylan tried his best to lock down the bright and beautiful blonde that was filling his inbox by instigating the discussion of a first date. 

He’d recently graduated form the Australian Airline Pilot Academy and was in the process of relocating from Brisbane on his way to Adelaide, but stopping to visit some school friends along the way. 

Enjoying a night of beverages, laughs and meaningful conversation, he was allowing himself a little reprieve after 12 months of rigorous training and so when his mates playfully grabbed his phone and downloaded tinder as joke he nonchalantly brushed it off unphased by their humour. 

But by the time the new graduate arrived to Kent Town, ready to explore his new home, he realised that his housemate after meeting a new acquaintance, didn’t surface from his room very much. And so in bid to meet new people himself, naturally it made sense to Dylan to revert to his newly downloaded app. 

He partook in a quick swipe session, carelessly shifting his finger left for so many potential suitors that just didn’t meet spec or capture his interest until he came across the aforementioned kind looking blonde and immediatley he needed to double take. 

Was he in shock? Was this a bot? Surely it was a fake tinder account because no one in this world is that naturally stunning. Still, he decided to risk a conversation with a phoney profile and at the possible expense of his pride, he swiped right before beginning a conversation that would change his entire life.

24/10/2023

The 24th of June, 2018 will forever be a date etched at the forefront of Anna’s mind. A date of such significance to her, that she will always recall as a monumental, life altering occasion.

Yes. It was the first time that she ever watched a State of Origin game.

She was at the Julia Creek CSA building with her housemate Amy and after elatedly witnessing the might sky blues win, they were about to make their way home.

When from out of nowhere, came a strange voice, ‘Can I walk you home?’.

Kalan had been on the drink for about 3 days with a couples of mates and after a gathering to do some footy training and watch the big game, he spotted Anna - the new girl in town, who was all the talk. She had the longest legs, and a cracking smile and he immediatley knew who she was once he’d spotted her.

Anna had arrived to work for Dane and Georgia and Georgia - Kalan’s coworker at the council, had been giving him some not so subtle hints about how great Anna was, and that maybe he should pursue her.

“Gee, Georgia’s right. She is a pretty good sort’ he thought to himself and with the metaphorical bruises of a QLD loss and a lot of liquid courage, he decided to take a leap of faith, and approach her, asking if he could work her home.

The perfect way to instigate conversation and find reason to spend prolonged time together….

Except… Anna lived 50 metres across the street and didn’t respond too favourably to a strange man, whom she’d never met, asking to walk her home at night.

21.10.23

Despite her actual date being a mere 30 centimetres away, Jess immediately wished that it was actually Scott, that her bosses - his parents, were playing cupid for.

She was speechless and if you know Jess - that’s not a frequent occurrence. Here was this tall, dark handsome man seated beside her, smelling so damn good, with the most mesmerising brown eyes and charming smile.

She was giddy, crippled with shyness, butterflies filling her stomach like she’d never experienced before and her heart was beating so fast she was certain she might pass out.

They arrived, and the nerves got even worse! His smile, his eyes, his voice, his laugh. She was melting.

His mum suggested they get a drink. ‘What a great idea! A wine will definitely calm my nerves!’, she thought. And then began a conversation between the two of them, where Scott’s Mum began asking Jess if she had any single friends that would be a good match for Scotty. ‘UM, ME’ her brain shouted, followed by her mouth quietly suggesting it.

It was 2 months in that they shared an unexpected conversation, when Abbey asked Billy 'where do you see yourself in a years time?’

Without missing a beat, Billy looked at her, and confidently answered “engaged to you”.

Abbey, shocked, immediatley laughed it off and thought ‘this guy can’t be serious’, completely unaware that he already had a plan in place.

Months later, Abbey had planned a mini photoshoot for the two of them. It was entirely her idea, as they’d been living together for a few months and she wanted their house to feel like home with some nice images to decorate the walls.

She’d found a photographer, and booked it in, unbeknownst to her that Billy had actually contacted the very same photographer, giving them the heads up, that he wanted to propose during their photos.

It was sunset, they were in the fields at Palleranda and when the photographer instructed Abbey to turn around and pose with her back to the camera, Billy knew it was go time and was beside himself with nerves.

Weird she thought, but she obliged and after being told to turn back around she turned to find Billy, shaking like a leaf, on one knee, holding out a ring.

Mackenzie and Reuben's love story began on the illustrious John Flynn college campus where their paths crossed, thanks to their mutual friend Jake Clifford. 

Reuben had just moved to this sunny city to pursue study and football dreams and was immediatley drawn to Kenz when his friend first introduced him. 

Mackenzie had the brightest smile and seemed like such a genuinely happy and bubbly person, so trying his best to impress, he said ‘Hey, I’m Reubs’ in his deepest, perhaps forced tough voice. 

‘What the heck, why is your voice the way it is’, she thought, before checking out his black stud earrings, his footy boy haircut and his delicious muscles that were on display in a singlet. 

He didn’t seem like her usual type, the earrings were a bit of an ick but the muscles did things and he seemed like a sweet man. 

They were only seconds into meeting but they both experienced an unexplainable connection. They were drawn to the other and had a sense of knowing, even then, that the other would become a big part of their life.

07.10.23

A blissful 7 and half years later, Ben took the initiative to arrange a trip away to Airlie Beach.

Lauren was full of anticipation. ‘Surely now is the time', ‘You'll be coming home with a ring', her friends and family would excitedly predict and she allowed herself to get lost in the idea of it.

She had been patiently waiting, she'd made no secret of it and with Ben planning this holiday, It all kind of lined up.

During their time away, they foundthemselves one evening in a cozy seaside restaurant, the scent of the ocean lingering in the air, the tormenting thought of will he, won't he', internally torturing Lauren the entire time.

Though, during dinner, it became evident to Lauren that now was NOT the time, because instead of focusing on his soon to be fiancé, Ben was glued to his phone, watching a football game with intense concentration.

She felt a pang of disappointment and began texting her girlfriends to update them, convinced than an engagement wasn't on the cards for this trip. After all, who would watch a football game at the dinner table moments before proposing!

Tracey spent the entire care ride, praying that this seemingly kind man, who was essentially a stranger, wasn’t also a murderer. She didn't know much about him,
where they were and had no clue where they were going, so she did begin to question her decision to oblige with his suggested plans.

They found themselves at Wyjunga beach, where they sat on the sand, basking in the views of their surroundings as Damian tried his best to light a fire.

There was a lot of banter and reciprocated flirting, and when the flame just wasn’t growing, Tracey decided to bet that he couldn’t light one.

Hook, line and sinker. Smooth as ever,
Damian responded, that IF he could - His prize should be a pash. Tracey agreed.

It was almost as if he was waiting for the challenge, because within seconds that fire was lit, its flame dancing as they shared their first kiss.

It all began in Woodstock at the BBQ of Abby & Jake's mutual friend. As Abby was leaving at the end of the night with her, she turned to her and proclaimed: ‘Omg that Jake guy was soooo hot'.

It was 2016 and she was a ripe 16 years old, but as if their future was predetermined, she found herself checking him out, despite the age gap .

She wasn't the only one with love heart eyes during that initial introduction, Jake had turned to Clint immediately after meeting her, whispering ‘geez, she’ll be alright when she's older’

They went their seperate ways at the end of that night, without the faintest idea that they'd just met and shamelessly perved on the person that they would one day stand opposite from on their wedding day.

When asking Lauren & Keely about how they first met, Lauren responded with: ‘Keely will probably tell you some cute story of how we 'met at the markets'.

And Keely responded with ‘we met at the markets' which isn't untrue, they had just been speaking for a good month or so after fatefully swiping right on each other.

It was September of 2021, the third to be exact, when at the Strand Markets, Lauren received a regular snapchat from her online acquaintance. It was a picture of Keely, with her friend and her pooch Bailey, going for a walk and enjoying some ice cream.

Lauren, thinking this was her shot, replied, asking Keely if she planned on going to the market and it just so happened that conveniently - she now did!

It all began with Sarah dropping a sneaky midnight DM. It was 2016 and she was out for a night on the town with her girlfriends, when a few vodka soda's deep, she boldly decided to send the friend request that would change her entire future.

Her friend, a mutual friend of Josh', had told her all about the dreamboat guy that she mould make a great match with, which immediately lead Sarah to partake in a thorough FBI level stalking session.

There he was, looking so gorgeous, with the most incredible muscley arms and with a little liquid courage not long after sending that initial request, she sent a self assured message to his inbox. Josh heard that familiar notification sound whilst laying in bed, committing himself to a Saturday night spent playing RuneScape. A quick browse of her profile himself and he was astonished by how much of a stunner she was. He almost couldn't believe that she had gone out of her way to instigate conversation with him.

But he was not complaining. Fighting monsters and completing quests could wait and enthusiastically he responded to the woman that would one day be his Wife.

It was New Year's Day and under the blinding neon lights of the Beat nightclub, with the iconic tunes of Shania Twain's "Man, I feel Like a Woman", & Geri Halliwell's "It's Raining Men" pulsating through the establishment,the start of a new year also marked the start of a new chapter in the lives of Dale and Rob.

Dale, who had reluctantly been persuaded by his morally-questionable roommate to go out that night, Was weary and disinterested in socialising, until he caught eye of the sophisticated and fun looking guy cutting shapes on the dance floor.

He was handsome with a thick red beard and huge coy smile that immediately drew Dale in. Suddenly he was a lot more enthused about his night on the town, deciding that he had to know more about this enticing man.

Rob, also exhausted from having returned from Korea, but contrastingly less begrudged to be there, like a moth to the flame, noticed the dark beard and bald head under a hat, making subtle glances his way from the bar.

He'd be indulging in a bit of a Facebook stalk, investigating Angie's current life, what her relationship status was and what she was up to, when he 'accidentally' called her through the messenger App.

Angie, didn't answer and immediately
messaged her brother saying 'guess who just rung me!'. It was her first love. The guy she’d taken to Graduation and she sat on her missed call for a lengthy time, deciding what her next move was. Before messaging Brad some very cool and effortless question marks.

He responded that it was a pocket dial, a harmless mistake, not at all a very intended and orchestrated move to get her attention.

Angie saw through his excuse but decided to give him a chance anyway and they began a string of messages, that would lead to their love story being reestablished and eventually, them becoming Husband & Wife.

23.07.23

Their story begins in 2017 at Banff Trail riders, where Kindil was spending her first ever summer in Canada, working overnight horseback tours on the towns outskirts, after spending a couple of months of her visa, working at a ski resort.

It was Kevin's first day on the job, when he saw her for the first time. Looking like an absolute smoke show on her horse, riding towards him from Red Barn, mountains sprinkled in the background, dressed in a vest and her black cowboy hat, with her blonde curls dancing around the side.

And after quick introductions, Kevin was suddenly barely able to function and his dream cowgirl rode off into the distance,
to continue her days work.

She was the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen and every time he saw her since that first slow motion ride towards him, he would absolutely sh*t himself.

He'd try to predetermine topics of conversations, so he d have a way to chat with her, absolutely desperate to get her attention and not stuff it up.

Kindil heard word that the 'cute Canadian had started. He was quite good looking, though he was really quiet, painfully shy and getting a conversation out of him was hard work (she just had no idea that was due to him being so riddled with nerves, that he was barely able to string a sentence together when he was around her).

It wasn't long after his first day on the job, that the whole work crew found themselves at Wild Bills Saloon, for their regular Tuesday karaoke night. With a little liquid courage helping them, this is where Kindil & Kevin began to really get to know one another and eventually, riding a wave of courage, Kevin asked Kindil to sing 'friends in low places' on stage with him.

Their love story starts at the Hospital, where the air was filled with the scent of antiseptic the hum of activity and the beginning of an unexpected love story.

Stef, stationed at the switch, was focused on her tasks, while Thomas, a Wards person, moved about attending to his duties.

Thomas had been trying to fix something and was instructed to go see Stef, because she would definitely have something. He approached the switch to find Stef, a formidable figure, who was extremely reluctant in handing over the required tools.

She seemed to guard them as if they were the hospital's most treasured secrets, which left him both amused and slightly baffled by her attachment to them. But it wasn't until later that he encountered a side of Stef that would intrigue him even more.

In Stef's mind, Thomas was just another face in the crowd of hospital staff, unbeknownst to her, he had actually been part of the hospital team for months onder than she had initial assumed and walked past her window many times.

She mentally categorised him as one of those "sh*theads"who strutted around with an air of arrogance. His attitude seemed far from special, so she had no interest in handing over the tools To make his day any easier.

18.08.23

When Georgia, a high school senior, was asked to play in a mixed touch team, she didn't even expect to be able to catch the ball, let alone - a future Husband.

She arrived to the game, a little apprehensive as she certainly wasn't the most athletic on the team, to discover that also on her team, was a incredibly tall, incredibly hot guy, surrounded by his group of friends.

The game began and not to her surprise, she wasn't playing amazingly and hadn't even touched the ball. UNTIL, the ultra hot, ultra tall guy who she discovered was called Ryan made a break, with no players on the oppositions team game enough to chase him.

So, Georgia decided this was her chance. Here she was, his own team mate, running after him, trying to keep up, yelling out 'Wait, pass me the ball!'. She'd never scored a try and wasn't missing this opportunity, so once she'd basically forced this guy to pass her the ball, their play worked perfectly in sync and she got her first ever points on the board.

She was elated, their team was cheering, she was celebrating and riding her wave of courage, she gave Ryan a cute little slap on the arm to say thanks, with the ulterior motive of getting a feel for the guns.

After the game, Ryan, suddenly intrigued by his new team mate and very interested in team building, asked his mate Connor ‘Who is that little hottie snd how do I get her number?’.

Connor replied, ‘That's Georgia and yeah, you've got no chance’.

When Ben's co-worker and his partner Aley's co-worker, suggested that they'd be a good match, it suddenly sparked Ben's realisation, that it had been some time between dental appointments and conveniently, he happened to be due for a preventative check up.

And since his co worker knew of this dentist named Aley, Well it just made sense to book in with her. Word of mouth referrals and all.

Aley had been advised that Ben was attending her practice, she spotted his name in her dairy full of patients names for that day and naturally she was riddled with nerves. She'd heard so much about him and this appointment almost felt like a date...
one that she couldn't have a pre drink to calm the nerves for and one where despite the obvious, overwhelming chemistry filling the small surgery room, she had to remain professional for.

Ben arrived for his appointment, keen to suss out the woman his cupid mate had orchestrated him to meet, without the faintest idea that she would one day be his Wife.

Aley's hands shook throughout the entire appointment, which isn't ideal when you're practicing dentistry. He had very nice arms, magnetising eyes and exuded a warm and kind character, but at the end of their time together, she figured she'd never see him again, at best, once or twice a vear for his preventative appointment.

05.08.23

It was amongst the bustling world of CrossFit competitions and university life, that these two souls, found themselves entangled in a tale of unexpected love.

Makkedde was preparing for a twins CrossFit competition when fate disastrously intervened. 6 weeks out from the comp, her original partner had suffered an ACL injury, deeming him unable to compete and her - in need of a replacement partner.

Enter Jarrod, a well-known extremely fit individual in the CrossFit community. Kedda had only ever heard good things about him. They were the same age and through school, had lots of mutual triends and he was never poorly spoken about by anyone who had the pleasure of meeting him.

He had big hair, awkward length shorts, drove a crackhead looking car and was verrrrry cute and so she took a leap of faith, asking him if he would partner her.

Initially, Jarrod seemed hesitant.
He was surprised that Makkedde had approached him as they'd only ever spoken here and there, but God, he had instant butterflies. She was so smoking hot, with the most incredible body, alluring eyes and a radiating confidence so under pressure,
he nonchalantly responded that he'd need to check with his sister Dani, to make sure that she didn't want to fill the position, Leaving Makkedda hanging for two torturous days.

Despite Jarrod's initial hesitation, he eventually agreed and thus their journey together began. They arranged to meet at the gym Makkedde was working and training at at the time, a ladies only gym,
that she'd drag him into after class hours. Hour training sessions unintentionally turned into multiple hour training sessions, because they'd spend the entire time distracted and chatting, their platonic friendship growing stronger with every passing session.

Oh hey, I’m Abbey,

and I’d really like to help you get hitched.

I’m an authorised civil celebrant in Townsville, with a passion for helping couples crush all of their ceremony goals and execute their wildest Pinterest wedding dreams.

I decided to study marriage celebrancy after my own wedding, when my family and friends commented on how wonderful my celebrant was.

For months I heard rave reviews about how he set the scene for the day, made everyone feel relaxed, and how he delivered a ceremony that really reflected my husband and I. (James McLauchlan everyone, if you’re in Brisbane and after a celebrant that is less me, and more male).
