He purchased the diamond on Friday and all weekend I continued to foil his plans by asking friends and family to catch up or pop around! He eventually found the right moment on the beach in Mooloolaba and I was so shocked he had managed to surprise me he had to prompt me for an answer!” “We met online, Nick sent me his number straight away and that same day we caught up for a drink at Cracked Pepper in Mooloolaba. He was cleaver enough to actually propose with a single diamond as he was determined to have the engagement a surprise and we had the ring made together. “Although I had been subtly dropping hints they appeared to go unnoticed and I just knew that when he was ready he would involve me in the ring choice. The bridesmaids walked down the aisle to Canon in D Major (Johann Pachelbel) and I walked down to the Wagner Bridal Chorus.” “We had the Offenbach String Trip perform at the ceremony, which was such a nice touch in the garden. I am a planner (he is not!) but this also works! I think above all, we share a very patient and completely unconditional love.” “We share the same values, we love a good party with friends and, he makes me laugh. I think it will always be one of my most treasured memories, standing up there with my two favourite men in the world! “ The ceremony was filled with such love and laughter and we received so many wonderful comments on how touching the ceremony was. Obviously just enjoy the day, it is over in a heartbeat!” “My father is a marriage celebrant and married us, it was wonderful on the day, but to have him involved in planning the ceremony for us was also truly special. “My advice to brides… I am a planner, so I would say plan, plan plan, I really think this eliminates any pressure and helps you enjoy the planning as well as the day. Erin had two in a collection that we loved and we spoke about what we would like for the third dress, which she has now included in her collect and named ‘Jesse’ after my sister.” We went with the same colour dresses, but different styles. “When I saw Erin Clare‘s bridesmaid range, we all fell in love with her range and were so delighted when she advised we could make all three dresses to suit each of my sisters. “My mum was my 2ic and so patient given I spoke only about the wedding for 8 months and sometimes called her 3 times a day!” Throw in a lolly buffet, live entertainment and amazing food at reception venue, The Lakehouse Sunshine Coast and everyone’s happy. Awww!īoth Emma and Nick infused their own specific must-haves into their wedding day – for car-enthusiast, Nick, that meant fabulous vintage cars. One uniquely special part of their day was when Emma’s father walked her down the aisle, only to continue on to the altar to assume celebrancy responsibility! Emma says this will go down as one of the most amazing moments of her life, getting married alongside both of the most important men in her life. She married her one true love, Nick, in a very personal and heartfelt wedding ceremony in her parents’ beautiful garden in Mons. Master planner, Emma, dived into wedding-planning with vigour, and absolutely managed to pull of absolute wedding perfection.
Planned to perfection, this Lakehouse wedding made both the bride and the groom very happy.
