formality.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe didn\u2019t want a cookie cutter formal wedding,\u201d Kate, 57, explains. \u201cWe wanted it to be a really relaxed and happy event.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kate and Mark, 53, met online five years ago and love quickly blossomed.<\/p>\n<p>They chose beachside venue Babalou in Kingscliff, New South Wales for their rustic-themed celebrations on October 5, 2018.<\/p>\n<p>A mini-holiday for guests was one of the benefits of the venue choice, the bride says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany of our guests hadn\u2019t visited Kingscliff before and just fell in love with that special part of the world,\u201d Kate says.<\/p>\n<p>A rocking DJ made sure the dance floor was on fire all night and a photobooth kept the laughs coming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had a great night with our precious family and friends,\u201d Kate says. \u201cWe loved our day so much and I don\u2019t think we could have improved on it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vja.photography\"
