Meet Wendy & Travis

Travis and I met through mates, at the good old Espy one night in St Kilda…..
It is special to us that our closest friends brought us together.

The proposal

Travis is a tradesman – so I expected that when the day came for him to ask me to marry him it would be over a beer at the local pub. But he went all out and while on a romantic holiday in Paris, he prepared some beautiful words & statements and delivered them all to me along with his Mothers engagement ring while on the top of the Eiffel Tower.

Your Wedding Day

Since the day I got engaged I began picturing what my wedding day would look & feel like.

I pictured the dress, shoes, food, decorations, flowers, drinks, suits, jewellery and many other special little things that would make ‘the day’ perfect.

But on reflection, I have realised that what makes ‘the day’ perfect is actually the time you get to spend with family & friends before, during & after the wedding that make this day a wonderful celebration.

It’s more than just that one day, it’s a festival!!

Below are words & statements that will paint for you a picture of a few things that made our festival wonderful.
