reallife weddings

She acknowledges how incredibly lucky they were to have the generous help of both of their parents, who contributed to making their dream wedding day come true.

Victoria and Brendan spent their first night at Capri by Fraser in the city and then honeymooned at Airlie Beach, exploring the islands of the Whitsundays. Staying at The Mirage and Peninsula Suites, Victoria reveals a highlight for her was snorkelling for the first time and seeing all the colourful fish up close!

Victoria’s wedding advice:

“My best advice would be to make sure you enjoy the day! Before I got married, so many people told me that the day can be so stressful and go so fast. I did not feel any stress at all, and I think that was because I had such a fantastic venue! Also, make sure you take in the moment on your wedding day of how special the day is, it goes so quick!”

“We are so excited for the future together with our beautiful dog Lola, and the potential to add some additions to our family (do not get excited yet, Mum and Dad, lol)”
