Ellie & Michael

Our Love Story

We met in Eureka nightclub of all places. We had a big friend's group and Mike came out with us one night and I remember having pre drinks at his house and as I walked in, he whispered to his mum (that's her the one with the glasses).

When we eventually made it out Mike was following us around trying to make conversation. Let's just say my dance moves clearly did all the work as he messaged me the next morning.

I wasn't looking for a boyfriend or anything, but he was nice, and I was encouraged to go on a first date with him down at the bowling lanes.

Mike was a big talker and when it was his turn to bowl, he would try a big swing which proceeded to slip down the lanes. I couldn't help myself but burst out laughing. I knew we would have a great life together if we could laugh this much!

The Day

The best parts of the day were getting ready with the girls and having close friends and family around. We both loved the drive to the venue it was on time and went smoothly, the Coastal Kombi guys were amazing and thought of everything.

The ceremony was beautiful down at the tree with Sue welcoming everyone and making everyone comfortable.

Pizza truck was a hit catering for all the allergies, guests loved this!

Also the champagne tower looked stunning.

Funny moments included Winnie our dog walking the rings down the aisle, dancing, speeches, cake cutting, and the sparkler tunnel was certainly up there in terms of highlights.

We were so lucky to have our family come from overseas (mostly UK). it really made our day as we hadn't seen some of them for years.
