themselves.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;d talked about marriage before but never in a serious way &#8211; one evening we just decided that it would be a good thing to do!&#8221; laughs Adam.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was never really possible for couples like us to get married but after the &#8216;Yes&#8217; \u00a0vote to marriage equality, the idea of getting married and enjoying the same rights and privileges as all other couples became a possibility and the planning began!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Perth pair said their written vows, reflecting on their journey together how much it means for same-sex couples such as themselves to finally have the right to get married.<\/p>\n<p>On a beautiful tropical morning on an island in the middle of the ocean, Ben and Adam exchanged their vows with only their celebrant, photographer and resort manager as witnesses.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Because it was just us, we wanted it to be relaxed and casual, and it was exactly how we&#8217;d imagined.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/candicethorleyphotography.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Candice Thorley Photography<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img
