Designer Jewelry Experts

Daniel proposed on the 10th June one week before my birthday. He was extremely nervous during the evening and apparently rang up one of my friends terrified that I would say no. He took me to the Windy Point restaurant for dinner. After dinner we headed back to my mum’s house and received a phone call and Daniel insisted that we need to go out again.

A simple civil ceremony was held amongst the sand dunes at the Main Beach Lakes Entrance in near perfect weather with a backdrop of the front lake and the blue sea. The aisle was lined with eight white bali flags streaming in the light breeze and rose petals scattered on the sand. I was so excited walking down the aisle with my Dad by my side to the song ‘At Last’ by Etta James. As soon as I saw Stephen I couldn’t keep my eyes off him for the entire ceremony, everything else was a blur.

We just had a pretty relaxed ceremony. We had our celebrant (who was fantastic) and we got married at Weir Reserve at Penrith on the lake and it was so picturesque. Our ceremony was about 25 mins long and we had a rose ceremony at the end, mind you I have no idea where the roses went.

Romantically, we met on a cruise to the South Pacific in January 2005. We met right at the start of our trip and were inseparable for the next ten days. When we returned home to NSW, we kept in touch driving over an hour and half to each others house as we couldn’t bear to be apart. Eventually, we moved in together (August 2006) after buying our own home. Scott proposed two months later in front of the lighthouse/blowhole in Kiama at dusk and then took me out to a quaint little Mexican restaurant for dinner – I couldn’t have been happier.

After dinner we drove up to the lighthouse. It was pouring rain so Lee’s original plan wasn’t going to work, so he had to tell me then that he had booked us a room at the lighthouse. I was so excited as I’ve always wanted to stay there. When the rain finally stopped Lee suggested we go and have a look at the lighthouse at night time. It was very scary up there, old and historic and it felt as if there were ghosts lerking around. I was about to tell Lee that I wanted to go back as it was really spooky, but then he said ‘do you want your last birthday present?’. I didn’t know what he was talking about and then to my surprise he pulled out a box. I was so nervous I just started laughing, the poor guy didn’t know what to do. But once I calmed down he got down on his knee and asked me to marry him. It was so exciting.

One of the more challenging things to organise was family – because they have a mind and will of their own! Everyone had different expectations and as they all live 80km from where we live, there were initial issues about us not having the wedding where they live, but we overcame this by gentle persuasion (and the fact that the international airport -where our overseas friends were landing- was 10km from where we had the reception!)
