Sarah & Brad's Rustic Wedding at The Farm Yarra Valley

Last weekend, Sarah and Bradley celebrated their love with a heartwarming rustic wedding at The Farm Yarra Valley. While they didn't have a specific theme in mind, they were drawn to the venue's natural charm and decided to let its rustic beauty shine. It turned out to be a fantastic choice that set the stage for a beautiful celebration.

The day began with the bride and groom's preparations, highlighting their elegant style. Sarah looked absolutely stunning in a dress designed by Essence of Australia, from Foreverness Bridal. Her makeup was impeccably done by Lizi Hance, and her hair was artfully styled by Home of Hair by Sam Marsden. Bradley was the epitome of class and sleekness in his suit, making them a perfectly matched pair.

Their heartwarming ceremony was officiated by celebrant Abbie Frew, and it was a beautiful moment as Sarah and Bradley declared their love for each other in front of their family and friends. The stunning floral arrangements by Virgin Flowers Baxter added an extra touch of magic to the proceedings.

Following the ceremony, the celebration continued with a reception at The Farm Yarra Valley. One of the standout features was the cake, lovingly made by the bride herself, Baked with Grace. It was a delicious and visually stunning centerpiece of the evening. The entertainment, provided by the Melbourne Entertainment company, added a lively and joyful atmosphere to the reception, ensuring that everyone had a memorable time.

Now, let's delve into the story of how it all began. Sarah and Bradley met in a rather unexpected place—the world of Tinder. Sarah had just come out of a five-year relationship and wasn't looking for anything serious. Their first date was filled with a few memorable mishaps, including Sarah forgetting her shoes and Bradley, who had a broken foot, telling a rather humorous story about how he got injured. Despite the hiccups, they had a great time and decided to continue seeing each other.

Their second date had its share of challenges, with Sarah's broken phone and a series of misadventures leading to a significantly delayed arrival. But their connection was undeniable, and by the third date, they were having a blast at Crown Casino. Bradley's sweet gesture of buying Sarah a pair of earrings, though not to her taste, marked a turning point in their relationship.

The engagement took place in Cairns, and while it may not have been the most traditionally romantic proposal, it was uniquely them. After a day out, Brad invited Sarah onto the balcony for a drink. There, a flock of Gallas decided to make their presence known by showering the hire car below with an unexpected surprise. In the midst of the chaos, Brad turned to Sarah, proposed, and she responded with, "Are you sure?"

The couple's excitement for the wedding day was palpable, with the most anticipated moment being the exchange of vows and finally becoming husband and wife. Sarah was also looking forward to the emotional sight of Brad crying when their daughter, Gracie, walked down the aisle, jokingly adding that he better shed a tear when she makes her entrance too.

Sarah and Bradley's rustic wedding was a beautiful testament to their unique love story and the bond they share as a family. The day was filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments that will be cherished for a lifetime.
