When Tash and John met in early 2017 at a social club picnic in Glenelg, they were immediately taken with each other.
competition run by Fleurieu Weddings, the couple went from engagement to wedding all within three months. Their win was announced in December 2018 and they walked down the aisle at Kuitpo Hall on 24 March this year.
Tash was drawn to John’s quiet manner and – she says – the kindest eyes she had ever seen. John was immediately captured by Tash’s bubbly personality. They found a sense of ease in their relationship and easily fit into one another’s lives. Both had children prior to meeting each other, and the two families blended seamlessly into one.
Tash’s daughter was her flower girl, and looked lovely in her white dress with purple sash – the bride’s favourite colour. ‘She stole the show, along with her cousins as page boys,’ says Tash. Tash was also attended by her sister and her best friend wearing dresses in her favourite shade. John’s daughter was his best ‘man’, and looked stunning in a black version of the bridesmaids’ dresses. A good friend of John’s stood as his other groomsman.
While John and Tash knew that they’d get married one day, fate intervened to hurry things along. Thanks to a ‘win a wedding’ 94
