From Lebanese drumming to crowd surfing, Jessica and Rheece’s ‘small’ Lebanese\/Australian elegant wedding of 240 guests was full of surprises.<\/p>\n

The Sydney couple’s celebration of love heavily focused on entertainment, with the aim to put on a spectacular party for all in attendance.<\/p>\n

The day kicked off with a traditional ceremony at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church in Ryde, made all the more special with a string trio performing live throughout the ceremony.\u00a0Then, as the party really kicked into gear at reception venue Oatlands House, the newlyweds surprised guests with a traditional Lebanese drums and saxophone entrance, DIY styling by the bride and a hilarious ‘find your face to find your place’ photo board using embarrassing photos of guests in place of a traditional seating chart.<\/p>\n

The best surprise of all, however, was something even the bride and groom didn’t see coming.<\/p>\n

“The biggest thing that stood out on our day was our surprise flash mob at the reception,” says the bride. “I am a dance teacher and the studio and my parents put together a hilarious flash mob to surprise Rheece and I!”<\/p>\n

Now 26 and 27, Jessica and Rheece’s love story first began in Year 10 math class. “Rheece copied my homework so he wouldn’t get in trouble. I would then hope he wouldn’t do his homework just to spend time with him in the library,” laugh the bride.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
