MARRIED: Hayley and Brendon Tate are preparing to celebrate their second wedding anniversary on Valentine’s Day.
Fate sets wedding date HAYLEY and Brendon Tate will celebrate their second wedding anniversary this Valentine’s Day, February 14. As is the case in many love stories, fate had a say in the date the pair exchanged vows. “We actually didn’t plan on being married on Valentine’s Day,” Hayley said. “The wedding was meant to be a surprise in June 2020 when we returned from a trip of a lifetime, but COVID came along and the wedding got put on hold. “We replanned for 12.02.2021 as we loved that you could read the date backwards, but another lock down pushed it until Valentine’s Day the same year. “That’s when all of our pre-booked vendors lined up and when the borders reopened - it was meant to be and you couldn’t pick a better day of the year to celebrate love.” Hayley and Brendon said their wedding was spectacular. “Our wedding day was the best day of our lives,” Hayley said. “It was a day filled with so much love and happiness, and looking back at photos just brings all the memories back to life.”
Brendon said the best part was marrying his best friend, while Hayley had her sights on their future. “The best moment was walking down the aisle to Bren, knowing we get to spend the rest of our lives together,” Hayley said. Previous Valentine’s Days were also special. “We had always celebrated our love on Valentine’s Day prior to being married,” Hayley said. “Our first Valentine’s Day together in 2019 was special as Bren surprised me with a sunset gondola ride on the Swan River with champagne and roses.” This year, the day will not be quite as glamorous. But the sentiment will be the same. “We will be celebrating our second wedding anniversary and Valentine’s Day flying back to work in the Pilbara,” Hayley laughed. “It’s not ideal, but hopefully we can sneak in a Wagon breakfast date before we fly out.” The couple said they have learnt the most important part of marriage is communication.
