"Stress less on your big day"

A moment of your wedding day will you never forget?
My dad walking me down the aisle to my soon to be husband. It was very emotional and so special.

A detail that made your wedding special/unique?
We flew down 8 performers from Series of Events Australia from Sydney to Melbourne to perform at our wedding for our guests. The 20 minutes performance included lion dancing, stunt show, acrobatics and balancing acts.

How did you know your dress was 'the one'?
When I tried it on for the first time and looked in the mirror, I knew it was the one because it was better than any dress I’ve ever imagined myself in. It was perfect because it made me feel sexy, confident and fierce, like I could do anything in that dress.

How did it feel when you put on your dress the day of the wedding? What was everyone's reaction to the dress?
I knew it was going to fit like a glove and accentuate all the right places. It was absolutely stunning. Everyone at the wedding was in love with the dress and thought it looked incredible. They thought it was the perfect dress for me couldn’t imagine me in anything else. Just divine.

"The whole day went by way too quickly. I guess it’s true what they say, “time flies when you’re having fun”."

What was your favourite part of the wedding to plan/you were most looking forward to?
I was most looking forward to our reception entrance. Our bridal party had planned a really fun dance club entrance for us. They came out dancing and shooting CO2 smoke guns on the dance floor. There were lasers everywhere, cash guns shooting money in the air, trays of tequila shots, bottles. It was so silly and brilliant.

How did you meet your husband? How did he propose?
We met through mutual friends and had known each other for years before we started dating. He proposed to me while we were on holiday in Bali, celebrating our 7th year anniversary. It was on top of a cliff, by the ocean at sunset. There was a beautiful flower arch set up, rose petals on the floor and a huge Marry Me sign that lit up. There was also violinist playing for us. We had a private dinner by the beach, inside cave later that evening.
