Bride takes charge for Isabella and Matthew’s classic wedding

Isabella and Matthew first met as teenagers while working at Safeway. As Matt was technically her boss at the time, Isabella describes their initial relationship as love/hate.

“I didn’t really take orders well when I was young,” laughs the bride. “Matt would say that I still don’t take them well.”

Years after their tumultuous coworker relationship, after the two had moved onto other jobs, Isabella and Matt reconnected through a mutual friend. It was after this that love finally blossomed.

The couple married on May 20, 2018 alongside 80 guests at their classic wedding. The day began with a traditional ceremony at Newman College Chapel and ended with a reception at Quat Quatta in Victoria.

Forever marching to the beat of her own drum, Isabella knew exactly what she wanted for the wedding from the get-go. “I wanted it to be classic and timeless. From the bomboniere to the boys’ suits, I knew what I wanted right down to the very detail.”

Matt purchased his classic tux from Formal Red.

Isabella had her gown custom-made to suit her own personal style.

Isabella says her highlight was meeting her groom at the end of the aisle. “Bless him, Matt started to shed a few small tears. I could not believe that he was so happy and excited.”

Always Classic Cars provided the couple’s official wedding day transport.
