Ryan and Georgie Cornish 17 October 2020 at Lake Breeze Wines Barrel Room

Ryan and Georgie met through mutual friends in 2014 but didn’t start dating for another four years. ‘We had always kept in contact over the years and one day decided it was time to go on a date,’ says Georgie. It was clearly the right decision; the two have been together ever since.

After dating for seven months, Georgie moved from Adelaide to live with Ryan on his family’s cattle property in Colebatch where she now works with him on the Cornish family farm.

After watching the process of design and development, it was just breathtaking to walk in and see the end result the day before the wedding. They did such an incredible job!’

‘We loved the rustic feel of the place and everyone was so accommodating and nice. Ryan’s sister, Tanya, sang at our ceremony, and my Dad and brother drove myself and my bridesmaids to the ceremony in their prime mover trucks. Both of those moments were extremely special for Ryan and I,’ says Georgie. ‘We were so fortunate that we were able to have almost all of our loved ones attend our wedding and we were able to dance the night away. One of the most special parts of the day was announcing that we’re expecting a baby in April 2021! Being able to share this news with all of our nearest and dearest at the same time was incredible. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect.’
