What a majical wedding! :)
Monique and Lee first met on New Years Eve but it took a few years and some not-so-subtle facebook stalking on Lee’s behalf before they started dating. Lee proposed on their annual fishing trip in Exmouth. It was the very first day out on the water when Lee asked Monique to help pick a lure as they rushed to be the first of the group to catch a fish. Monique was so focussed on this task that she didn’t even notice the ring box in the lure bag or realise that Lee was on one knee until he told her she was his best friend and asked her to marry him. And even then, given that Lee is such a prankster, Monique thought he was joking. It wasn’t until she had confirmed several times that he was serious that she finally said yes. Needless to say, they weren’t the first to catch a fish that trip! :)
But Lee did catch his fish. And so we started their wedding day near Manjimup, at Fairview Farm House where the boys were getting ready. Just across the road at the historic Clover Cottage, the girl were getting ready in the Mudbrick Barn. Their ceremony was held near the river at the historic Clover Cottage, with a backdrop of native bush and soundtrack of gushing water and birds chirping.
Monique and Lee’s reception was an epic celebration. Their marquee reception was held under the stars on the lawn, overlooking the lakes and river valley, with catering by an array of food trucks.
Before Monique and Lee head on a tropical honeymoon they are busy buying alpacas for their newly purchased 5 acre block. Thank you for having us along Monique and Lee, and for such a fun day full of laughs and shenanigans! Haha especially all the photos I didn’t post here ;)
