ROBBIE + TEGAN OUR LOVE STORY ...
by Tegan
It’s funny when I look at things now… there are actually three big occasions in my life where I’ll wear a wedding dress and veil. The first, the night Robbie and I met… it was a Sydney Women’s Baseball league ‘Vegas’ themed fancy dress par ty. I frocked up in an 80’s inspired (think Cyndi Lauper!) trashy tulle wedding dress. Robbie…always the life of the par ty, was dressed as a playboy bunny… waistcoat, bow tie, tail and all. I had been around the league for a few years but really hadn’t noticed Robbie, until that night. It only took a few conversations with mutual friends to find out who she was and funnily enough I only spoke two words to her that night, as she was leaving... (sources say) my par ting words were: ‘nice tail’. The following day I got her number and over the next couple of weeks, we went out on a few dates. We were both as ner vous as each other, but somehow calm in one another’s presence. Far from conventional, our love stor y isn’t something that anyone expected. Robbie and I come from two completely different worlds… she’s a carpenter by trade, avid spor ts player and a super vivacious people person, aka social butterfly! Me, on the other hand, I’m cer tainly the more reser ved and quiet type… a florist and event stylist by trade and someone who can’t throw a ball to save my life. As cliché as it is... we are the two opposites who attracted. She is absolutely my soul mate, my rock, my confidant and my best friend… she’s helped me star t our business, suppor ted me through tr ying times and I can honestly say my life is better with her in it. I don’t know what I would do without her suppor t and love.
