But they were separated when Emma moved away. Thanks to Facebook, they reconnected many years later and began dating. \u201cIt was like we never spent any time apart,\u201d smiles Emma.<\/p>\n<p>The 29-year-olds married at their romantic country wedding on October 21, 2017 with 72 guests. Their ceremony and reception took place at the one venue \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/WeddingVenues\/Sydney\/BlueWrenWinery\/\">Blue Wren Winery<\/a> in Mudgee, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/articles\/nsw-wedding-cost\/\">NSW<\/a>. \u201cAs we are easy going people, we wanted our wedding to be the same, so it was very relaxed,\u201d explains Emma. \u201cIt was planned in 10 months and we had no wedding dramas. Our venue and vendors were all so wonderful and had the country hospitality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They saved money choosing to do a lot of DIY, and brought decorations second-hand from wedding buy\/sell pages. \u201cMany of our guests have since returned to Mudgee because they loved it so much,\u201d says the bride.<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/erinlatimore.com.au\/\"
