The venue might have been battered by 70km\/h winds and the groom might have shown up in a moon-boot, but nothing could spoil Shalissa and Josh’s glam rustic wedding.<\/p>\n

The couple, from Launceston, chose Tasmania’s beautiful Cloudy Bay on Bruny Island to celebrate their love on November 4, 2017.<\/p>\n

“We always knew we wanted an outdoor wedding, beside the seaside, with a marquee for our reception venue,” Shalissa, 26, says.<\/p>\n

The rough weather meant the ceremony, watched on by 119 guests, had to be moved indoors, but the couple still describes the day as a fairytale.<\/p>\n

“The fairytale wedding I had always dreamt of had come true,” Shalissa says of the wedding at Cloudy Bay Villa.<\/p>\n

Luckily, groom Josh, 27, completed his DIY duties before breaking his leg in a bucks day mishap, creating bench seats and an arch for the ceremony.<\/p>\n

“Not ideal,” says the bride, “however the fact that Josh was stuck at home on the couch enabled him to take over finalising suppliers.”<\/p>\n

Shalissa says the beautiful location allowed the guests to take a mini-holiday while also enjoying the rustic glam wedding.<\/p>\n

“The location of our wedding was very unique, a remote, natural, untouched island in Tasmania,” she says.<\/p>\n

“It was a little bit of paradise.”<\/p>\n
