A blind date led to lasting love for Sydney\u2019s Rachel and Dylan.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were set up by a mutual friend,\u201d Rachel explains.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt didn\u2019t take us long to fall in love at all, we could picture our lives together so easily.\u201d<\/p>\n

After a romantic proposal on the steps of the Opera House, the loved-up pair began planning their elegant wedding.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlanning our day was so much fun,\u201d the bride says. \u201cWe were after an elegant look and were so happy with the outcome.\u201d<\/p>\n

The couple wed at Our Lady of the Angels, Rouse Hill, on September 7, 2019. Celebrations with their 250 guests continued at Waterview in Bicentennial Park<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe loved the setting,\u201d Rachel says of the stylish venue. \u201cThe staff were amazing to deal with.\u201d<\/p>\n

When it came to styling, the coupe opted for simple but effective.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur room was quite simple with statement centrepieces,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted our guests to enjoy the night as much as possible, so we made sure there was plenty of food and great music.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was really a night to remember for the rest of our lives. We have nothing but the best memories of our wedding day.\u201d<\/p>\n
