Being in the parade itself was high energy and a real buzz, so much so I almost forgot why I’d planned the entire night! We were fast approaching the end of the parade route and I asked Jackie: “How much fur ther have we got left to march?” She looked at me and said: “If you’re going to do it, it better be now”. Jackie handed me the ring before heading to the front of our team, grabbing Robbie, and dragging her back (dancing all the way) to where I was. She thought we were going to take some more photos… instead, in the middle of the street, in the middle of the parade, with thousands of people there to witness… I asked her if she’d spend the rest of her life by my side. The answer was undoubtedly (and thankfully!) a YES! Lastly, the third time I’ll put on a wedding dress... the day we actually say ‘I do’… We had wanted to wait for SSM to be passed in Australia so we could celebrate in our hometown of Sydney with all of our family and friends. But we were also super keen to be committed to one another and star t a family. So not knowing how long it would take for the Australian government to legalise same-sex marriage, we’ve instead opted for a super small and intimate celebration in Queenstown, New Zealand, which will be held March 2018. Think of it like a bigger elopement… 25 people, relaxed, with those that mean the world to us and have suppor ted our love each and ever y day. I know the wedding day will be only one small par t of our stor y together but it’s something that means so much to both of us…working in the wedding industr y we see 2-3 weddings a week, each unique, hear tfelt and emotional…a real celebration of our couples and their love…something that we too are now looking forward to.
