The magic was all around at Kristy and Ernest\u2019s modern wedding.<\/p>\n
The wizarding world of Harry Potter inspired their elegant celebration and what better venue than the Great Hall at the University of Sydney?<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was the only venue we considered,\u201d Kristy says, despite having to wait more than 18 months for a date at the popular spot.<\/p>\n
Looking just like a scene from the movies, family and friends gathered in the historic venue for the September 28, 2019 modern wedding.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe put everything we like into our special day,\u201d Kristy says.<\/p>\n
Magical touches included a Marauder\u2019s Map seating plan, a mirror photobooth inspired by the Mirror of Erised (thanks to Photos4fun<\/a>) and bridesmaids and groomsmen\u2019s outfits made to look like the uniforms of Beauxbatons Academy and Durmstrang Institute. \u201cThey even did a special entrance like in the movie,\u201d the bride says.<\/p>\n The couple, who first met at university, could not be happier with their Harry Potter-inspired modern wedding.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is a very special wedding that was full of love, laughter, tears and magic,\u201d Kristy says.<\/p>\n \u201cIt may be the best Harry Potter-themed wedding party!\u201d<\/p>\n Photos courtesy of At Dusk<\/a>.<\/p>\n “Ernest and I met during university days and it was love at first sight for him,” Kristy says. “Back then, Ernest was vice-president of the Hong Kong Student Society and helped organised many social events. He would invite me to them all so we could spend more time together.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n “We prepared a ‘story-telling’ video played at the ceremony that showed how we grew up, how we met and what happened at the proposal,” Kristy says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Kristy found her dream dress at Since We Met<\/a>. Chiho Kobayashi Flowers<\/a> created beautiful arrangements featuring burgundy, blue and peach blooms.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n The couple also had a traditional tea ceremony to celebrate their union.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n “On the wishing well table, other than our pre-wedding photos, we also prepared our moving photos and our photos with owls (we went to owl caf\u00e9 in Tokyo for those!),” Kristy says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/p>\n
