“Ocean View Estates Winery is
not far from where my parents
live and I had always thought
the vista was gorgeous. It had a
low key country feel to it, whilst
not being far from Brisbane. I
loved the idea of getting ready at
my parent’s home and the venue
staff were so wonderful, it wasn’t
a difficult decision at all.”
Planning priorities
“Being organised. We had a 14
month engagement which was
the perfect amount of time to
limit stress and save money. I
loved it when everything started
to come together. It also feels
great when you and your partner
are united on the big decisions.”
Most important
“The ceremony and the vows
- I kept reminding myself
that the wedding was a day of
celebrating love and happiness,
but I still wanted the ceremony
to reflect exactly how we felt. I
spent a lot of time working on
the wording of the ceremony
and in the end, I loved it. We
wrote our own vows and they
were a surprise to each other on
the day.”
