After a romantic public proposal on Southbank foreshore in front of thousands of people watching the New Years Eve fireworks, Sian and Isi began planning their wedding.<\/p>\n

What initially began a lavish city wedding in hometown Melbourne, quickly became a relaxed waterview wedding held on popular tourist island, Koh Samui, in Thailand.<\/p>\n

“I knew what I wanted in the style of our wedding: simple, fresh, rustic, lanterns, fairy lights and more lanterns! We wanted a laid-back atmosphere where our guests could eat, drink, dance and have an amazing holiday also,” says the bride. “And I heard destination weddings were more affordable.”<\/p>\n

The couple, aged 45 and 36, married on February 26, 2019 on the white sand beaches at Anantara Bophut Koh Samui.<\/p>\n

The hardest part, Sian says, was putting her trust into wedding planners and vendors across the globe. Fortunately, they pulled together to create something truly unforgettable for all in attendance.<\/p>\n

“You can’t put a price on what myself, my husband, our kids, family and friends experienced that day. It was absolutely magical.”<\/p>\n

The relaxed Thailand holiday came at the perfect time, as the couple had faced some terrible luck the year prior with Sian’s son involved in a serious car accident.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
