While some couples might stress about their wedding day plans coming together, Katie and Morgan couldn’t have been more relaxed. With the majority of their wedding planned through Gold Coast Pop Up Weddings, most of the hard work was already done for them.

Katie, born and raised in Victoria, relocated to the sunny Gold Coast six years ago. A couple of years later, on a night out with friends, she met Morgan and since then, they’ve been inseparable. It was on a getaway together to the Scenic Rim that Gold Coast raised Morgan, decided to pop the question. “Morgan proposed just before we went on a really nice picnic at the lake” she remembers, “it was such a lovely and romantic weekend.” Asked if they had enough time to plan their wedding, Katie says, “considering we were very easygoing about everything, we think we had plenty of time.” Having confidence in Gold Coast Pop Up Weddings to organise most of their wedding details helped, and allowed them to focus on the fun details. Katie admits she concentrated most of her attention to her dress and Morgan’s suit.

“I had the whole bottom of my dress changed to a completely different style” she says, “I was quite particular about that.” As expected, some aspects of their wedding were impacted due to COVID. “We would have loved to have had more family, but unfortunately that wasn’t an option with COVID at the time” she recalls. They only had three guests at their wedding, so it was a very intimate and special affair. Having their daughter enjoying the day with them made it even more special. The weather was lovely for their ceremony at Tall Trees Estate, Tullebudgeera Valley, but then it rained straight after! Their photographer, Casey Jane Photography, took advantage of the rainy weather and worked with it, producing some amazing photos. Katie and Morgan thought she was “absolutely wonderful”, and they could not be more happy with her work. “We were so pleased with how everything turned out from start to finish, even the rainy weather during our photography session after the ceremony.”

Everything will work out in the end

Following the ceremony and photos, they enjoyed an intimate four course dinner and then honeymooned at Mermaid Beach. Not quite their dream honeymoon thanks to COVID, but they were happy nonetheless. “We absolutely loved our wedding, it was just how we imagined it. We have really cherished the last three and a half years together and we can’t wait for many more to come.”

Katie’s wedding advice: “Try not to stress about the small things, everything will work out in the end.
