He was too shy to ask for my number so he was grateful that Belinda stepped in for him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter our first date we were inseparable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In planning their intimate lux wedding, location was everything.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wanted a winery with water views that had a special but relaxed feel to it,\u201d Katanya says.<\/p>\n<p>They discovered Terindah Estate, near Portarlington, on the Bellarine Peninsula, which gave them the intimate but glamorous feel they were after.<\/p>\n<p>Their outdoor ceremony was held in front of 105 friends and family on March 22, 2019, followed by the reception inside the elegant venue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wanted our wedding to be fun and feel like a big party while still keep an intimate feel,\u201d Katanya says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe achieved this with mood lighting, hints of black and gold in our flower arrangements and a really amazing electro jazz band that really set the tone for the evening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a
