Where did you first meet?

Adam and I first ran into each other at the Seabreeze Tavern at South West Rocks. Adam was in town working and we happened to cross paths.

Tell us about the proposal?

The proposal was a HUGE surprise and very romantic. Adam had organised a local helicopter ride with Affinity Helicopters, followed by wine tasting and lunch at Cassegrains. The weather was terrible so our scenic ride was cut short. Little did I know that he had plans to propose in the chopper. During lunch, he dropped down on one knee and popped the question.

Where were you married and why did you choose this location?

We were lucky to have our special day at Banks Cafe. It was the perfect location for both our ceremony and the party which followed. The venue has the best outlook over the river but also has a beautiful vibe inside. Who were some of the businesses you worked with to help create your special day?

We honestly worked with some of the most amazing, professional people who made our day effortless. Hodgey, Bourkey and the crew at Banks were amazing. They pulled the whole day together and served up delicious food and cocktails from lunch ‘til late. The boys at Thistle Flowers went above and beyond to shower our venue with blooms in every corner. They were easy to deal with and it was so nice to work with people who love what they do and are passionate about every part of it. Our photographer, Mel from Seed & Salt Photography was a true gem. Not only has she captured our day beautifully, she got amongst the crew on the dance floor to get every shot of our family and friends possible. Looking back, is there anything that you would do differently?

Little did I know that he had plans to propose in the chopper. During lunch, he dropped down on to one knee and popped the question.

If you get the right businesses involved, your day will be stress free. We are so lucky with the passionate businesses that we have in this town. Everyone was easy to work with and just wanted to help make our wedding day extra special.

What was your favourite part/moment of the day?

If I could have changed the weather to a beautifully sunny day I would have but we rolled with what Mother Nature handed us. The overcast weather and afternoon drizzle here did you first meet? Karl and I met at high school. We played touch football together at Beechwood and he was on the opposite team. I stepped him silly and scored a try and ran back and roughed his hair up. The rest is history and we have been inseparable ever since.

Having all of our family and friends together for a day was our favourite part. We laughed, cried, danced and had the best day together. We felt extremely blessed to be in a room with all of our favourite people.

Tell us about the proposal.

Saturday 7th June in the middle of winter and Karl suggested a walk on our favourite beach. Late and dark with the only light coming from the moon and some street lights we walked along a very deserted beach. Karl said that he had a video to show me. We stopped and he played the video. He had hand written signs that had key moments from our love story. The last sign said turn around and so I turned around and there he was on one knee asking me to marry him.

Where were you married?

We got married at the beautiful Mansfield Estate. Karl’s family have been delivering fuel to Mansfield for some years now and Karl would always return back from there telling me how amazing it was. He would tell me that the view is something that you simply cannot explain and you have to go and see
