For every hurdle that Isaac and Zana have hit, the closer it has brought them together.<\/p>\n

The couple, aged 36 and 32 respectively, met in Melbourne where Issac was \u201cescaping a life of gangs, drugs, and violence\u201d, and Zana had landed after moving from New Zealand to start her career as a nutritionist. Having both just come out of long-term relationships, friends warned them to take it slow, but their love took over and they were inseparable very early on. \u201cZana\u2019s love helped me heal,\u201d explains Isaac.<\/p>\n

The couple had started planning a wedding but a scam that claimed their life savings set them back. “We gained a lot of perspective\u00a0on life,\u00a0and it started us on a path of spirituality and conscious living. Two months later I was blessed\u00a0with finding my older brother I had never met…If that didn\u2019t happen, my new brother and his wife would have never been at our wedding,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n

The pair put all their wedding budget into good food and free-flowing drinks to create experiences for their 39 guests. The destination <\/a>Bali wedding at Jimbaran Bay on May 19, 2018, was all about \u201cthe union of our souls and sharing our bond with our closest loved ones,\u201d says Isaac.<\/p>\n
