A chance meeting on a busy Melbourne street changed Mia and Paulo’s lives for good.<\/p>\n

Mia, 31, was on holiday, taking in the sites of Melbourne for the first time, when she was approached by Paulo, 32, who enthusiastically asked for her number.<\/p>\n

One year later, the couple were deeply in love and Mia made the tough decision to leave South Korea behind.<\/p>\n

“I decided to choose love,” Mia says. “I bought a simple white dress and we got married at a simple ceremony.”<\/p>\n

But Mia always longed for a church wedding that could involve our close friends and family.<\/p>\n

“Even though we were already married, Paulo surprised me with a Cartier engagement ring and proposed to me on Bennet\u2019s Lane,” Mia says.<\/p>\n

When it came to priorities for their classic romantic wedding, the couple says the intimate guest list of 40 for their March 10, 2018 wedding was the most important.<\/p>\n

“We wanted everyone to enjoy the wedding and feel a sense of warmth at the ceremony,” Mia says.<\/p>\n

The bride got her dream church wedding before the reception at Paulo’s parent’s garden in Craigieburn.<\/p>\n

“With the help of family, we transformed the garden into a beautiful outdoor reception area,” Mia says.<\/p>\n

“I was able to bring my vision to life.”<\/p>\n

“There were lots of candles and fairy lights were festooned along the ceilings, which brought a nice ambiance when the sun settled,” Mia says of the decor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
