When Lauren and Aidan first met, they were too caught up in the busyness of everyday life to notice a spark.<\/p>\n

“We were both busy with our own lives, both previously being married with a child each,” Lauren, 32, says.<\/p>\n

“We both found ourselves single at the same time in 2016 and started chatting, which turned into catching up.”<\/p>\n

Aidan, 31, proposed at home with a photo collage full of memories the couple had created together.<\/p>\n

When it came to the Perth couple’s romantic elegant wedding, they wanted to make sure it was a true reflection of them – from\u00a0the food, the music, right down to the ceremony itself.<\/p>\n

“We wrote our own vows, and only invited our closest family and friends to create a more intimate wedding,” Lauren says of the April 6, 2018 wedding at\u00a0Heathcote Reserve, Applecross.<\/p>\n

Fifty friends and family attended the day and joined in the reception celebrations at Bells Functions.<\/p>\n

“We really focused on the intimacy of the wedding, incorporating little details like involving our children in the ceremony, and just bringing everyone together for an amazing party,” Lauren says.<\/p>\n

“Our wedding was 100 per cent us! Our kids carried the rings, our friends and family helped and it was intimate.”<\/p>\n
