Jilly&Daniel
Jilly & Daniel Croft Tell us about the proposal? The whole day was a planned surprise, which began early morning with a three-hour whale watching tour through SeaLink. Seeing humpback whales alongside the boat in the wild was one of the most incredible experiences. We went on to have lunch at Longboards and then an 18km mountain bike ride around Cape Pallarenda trails. After this, although exhausted, we walked halfway up a track on Castle Hill to my favourite spot and, as the sun was setting, Dan sang me a song he’d written for me (without his guitar!). He then got down on one knee and proposed. At this point in time, I of course said “YES” and was an emotional mess! Where did you hold your ceremony and reception? We held the ceremony at The Raintree in Queens Gardens and the reception was a Sunset Cruise on a private catamaran hired through SeaLink. What was a funny thing that happened at your wedding? Funny ha-ha or funny awkward? The celebrant forgot the vows during the ceremony and, after we’d gone back to repeat some of the legalities that should have happened after the vows, it was then announced: “You may kiss the bride, for the second time…” Tell us about your most memorable moment? For both of us, it was when we fixed on each other’s eyes toward the end of the aisle and my father passed my hand to his. We were so overwhelmed with pure joy, we couldn’t wipe the smiles from our faces. Where did you go for your honeymoon? We spent a few relaxing nights up at Mission Beach after the wedding, followed by a few weeks in Tasmania shortly after. Photographer: Josephine Carter Photography | Townsville
