Miss Rebecca ties the knot
By Sonia Clark On Saturday, January 10, Miss Rebecca from the Black Swan School of Dance officially became Mrs Rebecca Willshire when she married her sweetheart of nearly two years, Steven. Meeting Steven through friends at a family function in April 2013, a spark was obviously there as they exchanged numbers, and soon after they arranged to meet up for a first date. Described as the ‘best first date ever!’ Rebecca explained that their evening consisted of a beautiful romantic dinner followed by a lovely walk along the beach where the conversations easily flowed as they talked into the night. Steven proposed to Rebecca on holidays at Venice Beach in L.A. organising a sunset picnic on the beach with her favourite coloured rose petals strewn around and a local musician playing her favourite song. The actual wedding took place at the Little White Wedding Church in Maleny which perfectly suited their elegant modern classic theme. One of the highlights from the day which all went so quickly – was for Rebecca to see the emotion on her future husband‘s face as she walked towards him down the aisle. Rebecca had three bridesmaids, with her best friend of over 13 years as maid of honour. Wearing a bespoke Australian made Elizabeth deVarga wedding gown, Rebecca described her dress as “amazing!” The classically elegant gown had beaded straps and was encrusted with pearls. The dress was made out of soft silk with a satin overlay, needless to say the bride looked absolutely radiant! The reception that followed was held at The Edge Mooloolaba. And yes, the wedding dance was beautifully choreographed by Rebecca as they danced together as husband and wife to their favourite song.
Marking a matrimonial milestone By Lea Parkes At GC&M News we often include classified ads for important milestones and my favourites are the wedding anniversaries, for 40, 50, or 60 years, and on some occasions even longer. What I love most is when the husbands come in and organise it as a surprise for their better half. They don’t always like to give you too much detail, but it is lovely to see just how proud they are of their achievement and these days it certainly is. One Glass House Mountains couple who last month celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary was pineapple farmers Margret and Rick Moffatt. We put a few questions to Margret about her wedding and the secret to wedded bliss. What was their wedding date? 22nd January 1955 Where did they get married? Nambour – Methodist Church with celebrations that followed at her sister Milly’s house. How did they meet? They met at the Beerwah Hotel – Margaret was a waitress in the dining room and Rick was pub regular there after work. What does Margret remember most about her wedding day? Getting prettied up in her older sister’s wedding frock, her brother gave her away, and the best part of all was walking down the aisle seeing a tall handsome man waiting for her. What does she think the secret is to staying married so long? Margret reckons it is simple – it is about true love, always calling one another ‘Love’, kissing each other goodbye in the morning, lunch and before bed, and the big one – not having any secrets. Does Margret have any advice for young couples getting married these days? When you make your vows, they are made to be kept. Her mum always told her kids – you make your bed, you lie in it (or in this case once you have made the commitment you stick with it).
