HOW DID YOU MEET YOUR PARTNER?

High school! I was heading into year 10 & him into year 11. But it was sealed with a cheeky new years kiss during that summer.

HOW DID THE PROPOSAL GO DOWN?

We’d decided last minute to go camping down in Lorne for the night. Early the next morning we literally rolled out of the roof top tent, walked down to the swing bridge cafe for a coffee & a walk on the rocks in the morning sunshine. Then after me getting easily distracted & excited looking at all the crabs in the rock pools.. he popped the question!!

HOW WAS YOUR EXPERIENCE WEDDING DRESS SHOPPING?

Unreal! I had been following Rivá for quite awhile. I had been on the online Rivá site and saved quite a few dresses. I made the decision to drive the 3.5 hours to the shop and I am so happy I did! Being able to select the dresses online that I loved, then trying them on was so handy. Kim was amazing as she allowed me to try on all the dress i’d selected online and gave me such great insight into them all.

HOW DID YOU KNOW YOUR GOWN WAS THE ONE?

The dress I ended up saying yes to had been one of the first dresses I’d ever looked at. I had photos of it saved in my phone for over a year. So, it was only fitting that - of course - that was the dress I picked!! Also...it was a clear favourite from the whole bridal crew.
