Now, How did you two meet?
We meet online.
Who popped the Question and how did it happen?

Why did you choose your venue and how was the venue choosing process?
We holiday in Narrawallee every year and there was a little coffee cart at the end of the street, every morning we would go for a walk and the co-owners of The Barn with a card for their newly bought property at their coffee cart, Dani went to visit the property few months after proposing and we both knew that was the venue for us, the fact it was a DIY venue as well ticked a lot of boxes for us to create our own day.
