Lauren + Nathan

How did you meet?

We went to the same high school but we first saw each other when we were 9 years old.

When did you know they were the one?

I liked Nathan when we were in year 9. We kept bumping into each other at different stages of life and then eventually started dating after high school.

What are your three favourite attributes of your partner? 

How he looks like a big tough guy but is a big softie with me
His magnetic nature to everyone around him
How he has a sparkle in his eyes when he looks at me

Who proposed and how? 

Nathan proposed after 5 years of dating on our property that we brought together 2 years ago. He planned a picnic and brought a box of Krispy Kreme doughnuts, as thats both our obsessions. He surprised me with a forever sunflower dome – as that’s my favourite flower and the plaque said “will you marry me” and I started tearing up and of course said yes!!

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

My mum and I went to St Ives Made With Love Bridal Store. This was my first time dress shopping and I knew I would find my dream dress here.
I’ve followed Made With Love on Instagram for a while and every time I seen the Harlow dress I always thought it would be my perfect dream dress!! I tried on that dress second and I instantly knew that was the one.

What was the best moment for you at your wedding? 

Seeing Nathan’s reaction at our First Look before the ceremony. He said I looked absolutely perfect and like an angel.

What were your favourite details?

Partying and celebrating with our family and friends.

What advice would you tell other brides?

Go with whatever your hearts wants
Do whatever will make you happy, you won’t be able to please everyone
