Cultural influences meant Kathy had to put aside her dreams of an intimate beach wedding to marry her Lebanese beau, Chris.<\/p>\n

But it was a good thing she did, as the bride says it was a perfect day she would live over and over again. The pair, aged 37 and 30 respectively, married with a ceremony at a church in Mt Druitt, NSW, followed by a reception at The Westella Renaissance<\/a> in Lidcombe.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest issue we had planning the wedding was I wanted an intimate beachside private house kinda wedding, filled with flowers elegant and simple,\u201d explains Kathy. \u201cBut I soon came to terms with the fact that I had fallen in love with a Lebanese guy, so that style of wedding just wasn\u2019t going to happen!\u201d<\/p>\n

Instead, their glam Lebanese wedding day on August 12, 2018 with 240 guests was filled with drums, flutes, guitars, singers and a huge party \u2013 \u201cAnd I wouldn\u2019t change a thing,\u201d says Kathy. \u201cOur main priority was that everyone had fun and we nailed that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bride says the morning of the wedding was \u201csuper relaxed\u201d. \u201cChris had given me a English bulldog puppy, Zoe, the Friday night before the wedding, so she was waddling around everyone in the morning (I had also got him a surprise puppy as a wedding gift).\u201d<\/p>\n
