Their union was a match made in heaven, as Jenna also accidentally showed her groom a photo of her wedding dress before her walk down the aisle.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This really sums us up,&#8221; explains the bride. &#8220;We do everything together and decided on everything for the wedding together. This meant keeping secrets, like the vows and my dress, was very difficult.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Melbourne couple, both aged 28, and their team of vendors pulled together to create a rustic wedding held on an uncharacteristically hot first day of March in 2019. Guests gathered at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/WeddingVenues\/Melbourne\/CollingwoodChildrensFarm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Collingwood Childrens&#8217; Farm<\/a> to watch the bride and groom exchange vows, whereby Mali declared Jenna his &#8216;weathered wife&#8217; instead of &#8216;wedded wife&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Plenty of fun was had throughout the day, with lawn games, an ice-cream cart and the couple&#8217;s dog in attendance.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We couldn&#8217;t be happier with how our wedding turned out. It was the perfect balance of happiness, magic, love and puppies.\u00a0And everyone survived a farm wedding on a 41-degree day!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of\u00a0<a title=\"Little Chief
