When Dean took Taylah\u00a0to one of the biggest waterfalls in their area, Taylah didn’t realise\u00a0she was about to be proposed to.<\/p>\n

“I love waterfalls and rainforests – they are my happy place,” Taylah explains. “The waterfall was actually closed due to flooding but we went down anyway.”<\/p>\n

Dean walked behind Taylah\u00a0the entire journey to the waterfall, making sure she didn’t slip or fall – or so she thought. When they reached the waterfall, Dean told Taylah to stand in front of it with her arms stretched out for a photo.<\/p>\n

“I got up onto a rock, stretched my arms out wide and turned around so I had my back to him. When I turned around, Dean was on one knee with a beautiful box. He had it in his pocket the whole time – that’s why he was walking behind me!”<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

Taylah and Dean had known each other for years before Dean’s romantic proposal. “We went to the same high school – Dean was the shy quiet redhead boy who sat in the back. I was the loud chatty girl always getting told off by the teachers!”<\/p>\n

Though Taylah had boyfriends during high school, she always had a soft spot for Dean. “He was so kind and always willing to help people out.”<\/p>\n

As the pair entered year 12, their friendship grew and they started hanging out after school. “Eventually the shy boy I once knew became someone I knew I couldn’t live without.”<\/p>\n

“I cannot wait to marry the man of my dreams next year. My high school sweetheart.”<\/p>\n

Taylah\u00a0had had her eyes on her dream wedding ring since she was 16, and Dean knew it was the one for her. “It’s a white gold and diamond vintage inspired halo.”<\/p>\n

Taylah and Dean have already begun their wedding planning journey! Describing herself as an organised bride, Taylah already has her dress, the venue, a caterer, photographer, transport, style and theme, and flowers sorted!<\/p>\n

“It’s going to be in a garden and the theme is going to be romantic floral with lots of soft pinks, golds, and lace.”<\/p>\n

We wish Taylah and Dean the very best with their wedding planning, and hope to see their wedding featured in our Real Weddings<\/a> section in the future!<\/p>\n
