Jessie&#8217;s dear late mum was the most special guest of all, passing a month to the day of the wedding. &#8220;She made our wedding and walked down the aisle to give me away,&#8221; Jessie says. &#8220;Both Adam and I were extremely close to her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The couple, who have been together for nearly nine years, met at university and became engaged when Adam popped the question on holiday in Hamilton Island. &#8220;There are experiences in life that would haven\u2019t had happened if Adam and I weren\u2019t together. We have been a massive part of each others lives and can honestly say we have enjoyed every minute,&#8221; says the bride.<\/p>\n<p>Photographer Darryn McKay captured the day among the vines beautifully, with the white colour scheme really popping against all the greenery that surrounded. His gorgeous photos saw the couple&#8217;s wedding shortlisted for our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/real-weddings\/competition\/march-2018-nominees\/\">March 2018 competition<\/a>
