MARISSA & ALAN

Congratulations MARISSA & ALAN

12.3.22

“Our son Andrew was eight months old at the time of our wedding so we wanted to streamline the process, reminding ourselves that ‘less is more’ and ‘the classics are classics for a reason’.

Marissa Carroll and Alan Wrigley met after university. “We both undertook positions as Judges’ Associates in the District Court of Queensland, which is where we first met. Our time as Associates was an essential and formative stage of our relationship and one that we look back on fondly.”

Alan proposed when Covid restrictions meant that travel interstate or overseas was not possible. Given the genesis of their relationship, Alan decided that it was only fitting to propose to Marissa in front of the Supreme and District Court of Queensland building in Brisbane at sunset, on a Sunday afternoon.

“The wedding theme was Modern Simplicity. We opted for a simple white colour palette for our florals and pared-down décor to create something highly personal and, in our view, timeless. Choosing to be married in Brisbane (local for us and our friends and family) was one of the best decisions we made. Both High Church and The Calile Hotel are only a short drive from where we live, and being able to pass these venues often means that we are constantly reminiscing on our perfect wedding day.”

“Our advice for other couples planning their wedding is to start planning early and don’t sweat the small stuff. Remember it is your wedding day and your guests will have a good time no matter what. Book live music for your ceremony and reception as nothing beats the atmosphere that live music creates.”

“Our wedding day highlights were spending the day with our son, our families and our nearest and dearest friends; sunset photographs on the rooftop of The Calile Hotel; our first dance, and the impromptu vocal performances from our guests.
