When it comes to April 1, there\u2019s no fooling around for Karly and Jonathon.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn our 10-year anniversary (April 1), Jonathon surprised me with a trip to our favourite holiday destination, Hawaii, and proposed underwater while we were snorkelling at Hanauma Bay,\u201d Karly explains.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we told our friends and family, they didn\u2019t believe us because of course the 1st April is April Fools Day and Jonathon is joker.\u201d<\/p>\n
One year later, again on April 1, the couple held their elegant barn wedding at Melross and Willows Estate in NSW\u2019s Kangaroo Valley.<\/p>\n
Karly says the country setting was ideal for the laid-back atmosphere the couple was after for themselves and their 110 guests.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had three long tables and we sat amongst our guests to create a relaxed, fun and social environment,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe barn itself is beautiful so all we needed to do was decorate it with festoon lights and some greenery and we were done!\u201d<\/p>\n
After more than a decade together, Karly says it was exciting to celebrate their commitment in front of family and friends.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was love, laughter, happy tears, dancing and cake! What more could you want?\u201d<\/p>\n
