Once upon a time, in a Melbourne bar, a Yorkshire girl was introduced to a local boy. They talked about brunch, music, travel and life, and what began as an easy chat quickly turned into a friendship. A few weeks later came their first date in an underground speakeasy and for their second date, they ran a half-marathon together — from that moment on, they never did anything by halves.

The following year, they moved back to the UK and Noah joined the family. Two years of relaxed travel and parenthood in London followed, before life called them back to Australia, where Arielle arrived. Life became busier as a family of four, they bought a house, took on a major renovation, but somehow it still felt like someone was missing. That someone turned out to be Giselle, completing the family.

So is it any wonder they never quite found the time to get married?

One beautiful day, high in the French Alps with Mont Blanc standing tall behind them, the Melbourne boy finally popped the question…

… so here we are, counting down to July and the day we get to celebrate with the people we love most and we couldn’t imagine getting to this incredible milestone without you all by our side supporting our journey.
