As two people who love nothing more than a few bevs in the sun, it is no surprise Lauren first met Max at the Belgium Beer Garden.

Max took one look at Lauren’s beautiful smile and good looks and knew he had to do his best to charm her.

Lauren noted his keen interest but at this point Max was on day 3 of his Christmas work break up and in his own words, Lauren didn’t want a bar of him.

Fortunately, Max got another chance to impress when he was playing footy at her local club. His football prowess and legendary talent made her think twice but later in the club house they got talking.

Max got to show Lauren he was more than just a party boy - his kindness as genuine nature shone through.

Nowadays these two are living the dream, making a life for themselves in Moama with two gorgeous boys to complete the picture.

Life couldn’t be more full of love and their wedding day was a celebration of it all!

When Taylah was introduced to Luke on the sidelines of the school basketball courts in year 10 she wondered how they hadn’t crossed paths earlier...

Luke had come a long way since they were in the same grade 1 class - he’d doubled in height for a start!

From then on Taylah would swing by the basketball courts more often. Luke would come over and Taylah would shyly stand next to him, hoping he might strike up a conversation.

Eventually their conversations transferred beyond the school yard to very long nights of back and fourth messages, into their very first date. And back in 2014 nothing said teenage romance more than sharing a large serve of peri-peri chips at Nando’s.

Since then Taylah and Luke have grown together, supporting one another to achieve their combined and individual goals.

Getting married was yet another milestone in their already extraordinary life together!!!! ✨

If you are happy, relaxed, excited and enjoying yourselves, it’s contagious! Your guests will radiate that energy all day and night. But if you are worried, nervous, anxious, stressed, solemn, guests feel it and the energy struggles to lift.

So trust me… the number one thing to bring on your wedding day is your happiness. If you forget anything “important”, it will be alright if you’re having fun 💖

One week ago I had the pleasure of marrying one of friends since childhood, Rose to the love of her life, Hugo in an intimate ceremony, surrounded by family.

This was truly a “pinch me” moment and one I’ll never forget.

Being the intercontinental couple they are, Rose hailing from Australia, Hugo from England and both living in London, having their two families in the same place and country truly made the day as wonderful as it was.

I know some of our friends are sad they didn’t get to see the ceremony so I promise captured everything and I’ll post a snippet of what makes Rose and Hugo the perfect pair when I see the snaps.

Happy first week as husband and wife! 🥂

Believe it or not, sometimes couples love the idea of sharing their wedding day with a particular pep squad but don't want them to have the pressure of standing by their sides for the whole ceremony. Here's a blog I wrote with examples of how to handle this in a non-traditional way, without sacrificing the sentiment of having your buddies as part of your day.

If you want to have a wedding party, but don't want the entourage of people standing by your sides, here are 3 simple ways to honour your lieftime VIPS without the formalities.

They did it!!! Ben and Esther tied the knot after two children, dogs and many home improvements. Who would have thought Ben crashing Esther's 25th birthday would lead to this? After a bucketload of fun and memories they can add their wedding day to the top of the list.

Congratulations to two of the best and their beautiful family.

Ellen will never forget the day her little brother’s friend Jake went from being the cute kid around the corner, to a certified hottie.

It was around late high school and Ellen, a couple of years older than the boys, usually kept her distance when her brother David had friends over… but whenever she saw Jake’s handsome face, she felt her cheeks flush.

There was no denying it, teenage Ellen was crushing hard on young Jake. And… The crush was not so secret, it was certainly
noted that Ellen had a thing for Jake, especially around their family home.

If she knew he was coming over she would make the extra effort to look cute. If Jake ever came over unannounced, Ellen would stay hidden in her bedroom but Jake would always walk past her door and call out, “Hi Ellen or Bye Ellen.”

As it happens, Jake also had a crush on Ellen but back then, he thought she was so stunning that she was way out of his
league.

But it would take years… until they were both adults for mild flirtations to finally grow into the kind of love that lasts a lifetime!

This romance actually started back in high school as fresh-faced 15 and 16 year olds.

Joe and Mimi were introduced at a series of gatherings and one thing led to another… They became MSN Messenger buddies.

Joe was quite a keyboard Casanova in their after school chats and eventually he asked her out on a date.

Mimi couldn’t resist Joe’s aroma of Lynx Africa…while Joe was really into Mimi’s fringe.

They lived only 10 houses apart, saw each other every 2ish weeks and Joe professed his love for Mimi using the lyrics to Aerosmith’s ‘I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing’.

But after 4 months Mimi dumped him on MSN Messenger.

Yet love works in funny ways because 7 years later, these OG online daters reconnected in the modern day on Tinder.

Once Mimi saw Joe’s saucy moves on the Retro dance floor, her heart beat 2-4-6.

2 gorgeous boys later, a lifetime of friendship and a loving family - they’re hitched 🎉

What am I doing in the off-peak season?!

Surprise, surprise, winter weddings aren’t so popular in dreary Melbourne town. So here’s what I’m up to in the “down time”.

- reclaiming my social life (I’m finally available on week nights and weekends for dinners, drinks & fun times)
- settling into our new home 🏡
- DIY home projects 🙉
- getting ahead of the admin for the latter part of 2024 and early 2025 🗓️
- meeting with remaining 2024 couples
- reading books (any recommendations?) 📕
- refreshing my marketing tools
- fleshing out what 2025 will look like
- enjoying whole weekends as a family 💕
- winter cold water immersions 🌊

If you don’t see me on here as much, I’m just embracing real life.

The story behind my bow… Some may think I wore a bow on my wedding day as a fashionable choice but as a sentimental person, the bow has deeper meaning.

As a child, my mum would always put ribbons in my hair. (Proof in the post) She was proud that I became known as the girl with a bow in her hair and let me tell you the collection of ribbons was lush! Velvet, printed, checkered, rainbow, and in every colour imaginable.

When we were shopping for my dress mum kept asking about a veil. Wearing a veil didn’t feel right for me but then I had the bright idea that a bow would.

I sneakily bought it to my final dress fitting and as I went into the fitting room and came out for the grand reveal I’m pretty sure mum squealed with delight! A bow! How perfect!

A reminder to include things in your wedding day that aren’t simply fashion or what’s expected, but what feels like a true reflection of you 🎀
