Real Wedding; Grace and Matt @ Currarong Hall

About You Two; Now, How did you two meet? We actually met on Hinge. A classic modern day love story. Who popped the Question and how did it happen?

Real Wedding; Sarah and Todd @ Riverside Gardens

About You Two; Now, How did you two meet? We met in Florence, Italy at a karaoke bar in 2018 while both on holiday. Who popped the question and how did it happen? Todd popped the question while we were sitting by the fire at home, he said ‘I knew it was the perfect time to propose as I looked at you smiling and relaxed and realised I didn’t need a fancy proposal, this moment was perfect for us’.

Real Wedding; Emma and Jack @ Worrowing

About You Two; Now, How did you two meet? Jack and I met at our first job in our local IGA in a little beach town on the South Coast. We were 15. Who popped the Question and how did it happen? Jack was in Fiji for work, so of course I came along! We had spent the day on the South Sea Island where we did our first scuba dive, ate some yummy food and enjoyed the warm water.
