Tell us about your day.

After a few failed attempts (thanks to COVID) and welcoming a baby, we were thrilled to finally say "I do." The Bath House Garden was the most stunning venue—a private residence that gave off Lake Como vibes. It was like a little slice of Italy, the dream destination wedding we missed out on when our plans were derailed.

The highlight of the day was surprising our friends and family with the announcement of our second baby. I was 21 weeks pregnant and had kept it a secret until then, so we could share the special news with everyone all at once. It was an incredibly special moment, the biggest surprise, and people still talk about it. A memory we’ll never forget.

We honestly just loved having our friends and family together, which was often difficult since Elliot’s family lives in Brisbane. Bringing everyone together to celebrate our love, share laughs, and dance the night away felt amazing.

Some words from each of the couple on the day...

"I had the wedding of my dreams all planned out, but with all the lockdowns and travel restrictions, we had the most amazing wedding with our nearest and dearest. Looking back, I wouldn’t change a thing. It was perfect, just as it was meant to be."
