With just over a 10-year age gap, Gehan and Shayal never imagined their relationship would get serious.<\/p>\n

But after keeping it casual for a few months, the pair couldn\u2019t deny the attraction.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe fell madly in love and still are,\u201d Shayal says.<\/p>\n

When it came to planning their traditional garden wedding, the venue was the first priority. The couple chose Adelaide\u2019s Veale Gardens for their November 18, 2018 celebrations.<\/p>\n

The celebrations continued at Sferas Park Suites and Convention Centre.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did not have a theme, we just went with what we liked the most,\u201d Shayal says.<\/p>\n

This included a one-of-a-kind first dance the couple practiced for eight months.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery small detail fell in to place,\u201d the bride says of the day.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe couldn\u2019t ask for more, just simply perfect \u2013 we still get goosebumps thinking about our day and we can\u2019t get enough of showing our first dance to everyone again and again!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe come from two different cultures, it took a lot of understanding and compromising to have a day that we would all enjoy,” Shayal says of the traditional garden wedding.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
