Friends and family got more than they expected at Inah and James\u2019 combined housewarming and engagement party.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a surprise wedding,\u201d Inah explains. The couple transformed the backyard of their home, in Melbourne\u2019s south-east, into their rustic garden wedding venue, and their 60 guests did not suspect a thing.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo how did we tell everyone we were getting married that evening? I created this short video montage of how James and I started, as well as showing our engagement video and then followed by our announcement that we were getting married that evening,\u201d Inah says.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was really so much fun! Especially hearing everyone\u2019s reactions whilst we were getting changed in our wedding attire.\u201d<\/p>\n

The styling was simple but beautiful, with wine barrels adorned with lanterns and flowers; festoon lighting and a statement balloon garland over the dessert table.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also had a proper photo booth set up at another of our unfurnished living space that everyone enjoyed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The couple says there is nothing they would change about their rustic garden wedding.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt really was the best day for us,\u201d Inah says. \u201cWe had so much fun, felt so much love and support that evening. It was memorable, simple, and intimate. We couldn\u2019t ask for anything more.\u201d<\/p>\n
