Tell us about your love story:

Josh and I have been together for 9 years, we met when we were in college in 2013. In the time we have been together we have traveled , completed 2 years of our relationship long distant, bought a house together, adopted a beautiful little cavoodle who is 2 years old, got engaged, had the most amazing wedding day and we are now pregnant with our first. Time could not have gone any faste r, It is true what they say: “time flys when you are having fun” especially when that special person makes you the happiest you could ever be.

The most magical moment of the day:

For Elena – The most magical moment of our wedding day would have to be our first dance together. This was a time where everyone and everything vanished and all I could see and think about was Josh. That bond in that particular moment was so special, gazing into his eyes after all the planning and stressing knowing I have chosen him and will spend the rest of my life with him was just so magical.

For Josh – The most magical moment of our wedding day is when I saw Elena walking into the church in her dress for the first time looking so beautiful knowing I was about to marry the gi rl of my dreams, never experienced such a happy emotional moment.

How did he propose?

Josh proposed at Courgette restaurant in Canberra, the dessert came out saying: “Will you marry me?” He asked me the most important question of my life in front of ever yone in the restaurant who all clapped when I answered “yes” after a couple of minutes of trying to process the question. It was so amazing and a day we will both remember forever.
