Ashleigh & Mark

How did you meet?

We met through friends over 5 years ago through our love of adventure and mountain climbing

When did you know they were the one?

It wasn’t exactly love at first sight haha – it took some pursuing on Mark’s behalf, and some sneaky birthday kisses, but it wasn’t long before our friendship turned into more and  I couldn’t imagine a day in my life without him, and that I couldn’t wait to spend the rest of my life with him!

What’s your three favorite attributes of your partner?

You wouldn’t pick it, but Mark is secret romantic and always finds new ways to surprise me, he is the most caring and kind hearted man I’ve ever met, and has a great sense of humour that never leaves a dull moment together.

Who proposed and how?

Mark absolutely surprised me when he popped the question. He had taken me for an early morning walk up at Noosa national park and we had stopped to enjoy the view at the rock pools, when I turned around to see Mark on one knee and he asked me to marry him! 🙂 I cried with absolute happiness, and I remember asking over and over is this real? Is this really happening!! I didn’t suspecting a thing! It was such a perfect day.

Where did you fall in love with your dress and why?

Stevie was the very first dress I fell in love with after seeing it on the Instagram page before I even was engaged! So not long after Mark popped the question, Stevie was of course the first dress I tried on at White Lily Couture, and even after trying a few other styles, I always came back to Stevie. It was the perfect mix of sexy and classy, and everything I imagined my wedding dress to be it fitted me perfectly and I have never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day. The lace detail was amazing, such a different and unique pattern compared to anything else. Everyone kept saying how the dress was ‘me all over’ and suited me perfectly.

Where did you go to Honeymoon?

My husband and I went to Bali for our honeymoon. It was the most relaxing 9 days ever!
