Following a riverside proposal while being eaten alive by mosquitoes, Cairns couple Natalie and Kerrod threw themselves into planning their classic wedding with the date set just five months away.<\/p>\n

“By that afternoon, we had our wonderful photographer booked and our wedding date set. So much to do in such a short time,” explains the bride.<\/p>\n

Despite the short engagement period, Natalie says the wedding planning process was easy and relaxed. The only stipulations were that they wed in a church and celebrate in an indoor venue to avoid plans being derailed because of rain.<\/p>\n

On August 25, 2018 the pair’s dreams came true with a ceremony at St Therese’s Catholic Parish: the local church attached to the school Natalie teaches at. Celebrations for 120 guests then continued into the night at Novotel City Oasis in Cairns.<\/p>\n

Natalie and Kerrod, both 27, say it was the best day and night of their lives.<\/p>\n

“The reception was a huge party. Everyone had a great time. Even Grandma, aged 90, was one of the last people to leave the reception.”<\/p>\n
