reallife weddings

“We are so glad we did” says Telia, “it was awesome being able to get married all over again in April.”

The lead up to their wedding had the boys enjoying a trip to the Gold Coast for a bucks party involving golf, VR and partying, while the girls hens night included a life drawing class, followed by a limo ride and dinner. When their “second wedding” day finally arrived, it rained in the morning, but the afternoon was all clear skies. They were both looking forward to having their family and friends join them at their outdoor wedding venue, Walkabout Creek, chosen by Keith for its lovely rainforest vibe. Their celebrant, Ted Johnson was back again to marry them for a second time, having married them eight months ago in their backyard.

“He is the most charismatic person and so much fun” says Telia, “he ordered a ceremonial certificate for our second wedding, so we had something to sign for the photos, but also as a memento for the day.”

They also wrote their own vows that were special to them, and her father’s speech was particularly meaningful to her.

Unfortunately, COVID was not done with messing up their plans just yet, as the magician they had booked came down with COVID just before their wedding. Luckily for Telia (who loves magic), his colleague, Nick Kay was flown in from Victoria to replace him. “And he was fantastic!” she says.
