WEDDING DATE: 26/10/2017

WEDDING LOCATION:   Ceremony at the Middleton Beach Huts South Australia. Reception at Blues Restaurant. They are both located on the same property. The ceremony was in the gardens of the beach huts. As a gift to our family and friends we put them all up for the night of then wedding at the Middleton Beach Huts which was a wonderful added bonus.

WEDDING THEME: Batman/Comic Book theme

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER:  svenstudios

HOW AND WHERE DID YOU MEET:

With only three months to go until Monica was to embark on a new life in Canada, she met a strapping young lad who was also into punk music, ball sports and of course, The Simpson’s. It took her 3 days after meeting Troy on Boxing Day in 2009 to finally ask “are you really the head of the Kwik-E-Mart?”.

Numerous beer and pizzas later, they knew this was more than just a crush…. who was Monica kidding, she can’t resist a drummer…with ONE tattoo 😉 Before we all knew it, Troy had his ticket booked to Canada and boy were they about to start the most amazing, tough and life changing adventures that to this day still make them laugh and cry.

THE WEDDING DAY:

On the day Troy and myself were getting ready in separate beach huts. We both had a super laid back attitude which made the day more authentic and relaxed for ourselves and everyone I feel showed through our photos.

A wonderful aspect of holding our wedding at the Middleton Beach Huts is that you’re able to book out the entire complex just for your event, it’s quite wonderful. This way we were able to host our guests in a Hut each where they could get ready for the event at their own pace, mingle or have privacy. This helped bring everyone together and keep it more genuine and more family orientated.

There’s a large, grassy area in the center of all the beach huts where our wedding ceremony took place. It’s a perfect little spot to fit quite a few people if needed, with the beach huts as a backdrop. The sun came out quite strongly during the ceremony which made for some beautiful weather for the rest of the day. Our arch had the word “Amity” floating inside of it. We felt this word spoke loudly about us as a couple and as individuals. We then used this later at the reception for our guests to write well wishes on. One fun thing that we opted to do to be a little different on our day was that we didn’t exchange wedding rings, but rather gave each other small, heartfelt gifts. Monica was given a tiny penguin charm, while Troy was given a carved rock – the idea being that some penguins gift rocks to mates in the wild.

After the family photos, we first wandered out the gardens within the Beach Huts grounds, using the greenery and simple decor before heading down to the beach. We then proceeded to be attacked by a dinosaur before running over to nearby the Victor Harbor Bluff for a few photos on the rocky beach. Throughout the night we had a bit more fun taking some zany photos, including a Batman symbol in the sky.

Our cake was very simple vegan sponge cake, with Batman and Bride characters on top with also a penguin by their side. This cake was accompanied by some vegan brownies which didn’t last long at all as the guests gobbled them up! We had simple decorations as the restaurant was so beautiful it did not need much to make it sparkle.

Our table decorations were the same as the wedding flowers. Monica’s Mum along with her Mums best friend made each flower by hand and were created with comic book paper! A small touch that made the groom super happy that we can keep them forever. We printed many photos and strung them up around with pegs as a little feature. This helped our guests reminisce about our relationship journey and was a wonderful way to start conversations with one another.

Overall, we had a really chilled day with non-stop laughs, hugs and plenty of drinks to keep the night pumping. Although our wedding was small, we felt the intimacy was met with our guests and each other as we could eat, drink and connect with the most important people in our lives on our very special day.

Ceremony held at Harrow Civic centreReception held at : The Royal Oak Pub, Harlesden NW10

We had a Sailor Jerry rum based rock and roll  wedding, based on our love of tattoos, and the 1950’s. We got married in a register office. We didn’t have the traditional sit down meal. 

We had a Caribbean buffet, and dessert was wedding cake! 4 different flavours. Our guests loved the relaxed feel and partied until 1am! Our car was a 1951 Buick called daisy, and was an absolute dream. 

We didn’t not want to stick to the norm at all and really wanted our day to represent who we are as a couple! My Stepson was Our best man, and our two teenage boys were ring bearers. The whole day was amazing with Sailor Jerry shots, banging music and a party that had all on the dance floor. After 20 years together our wedding was long overdue and a good opportunity to embarrass our children on the dance floor!

My dress was a white Rose tea length 50s style with a red Satin belt and red trim on the petticoats. I purchased my dress from Fairygothmother in east London. I felt like a sassy princess in my dress and am currently trying to think of an excuse to wear it again!
