After meeting three years ago, it didn’t take Tassie pair Nicole and Ryan long to realise they were soulmates.<\/p>\n
“Ryan proposed to me on the wharf at Darling Harbour, Sydney after spending one year and six months as each other\u2019s best friends,” Nicole, 22, says.<\/p>\n
Not long after, the couple celebrated their elegant beach wedding at Preservation Bay, not far from their home in Burnie.<\/p>\n
One hundred family and friends watched on as Nicole and Ryan, 24, wed on February 17, 2018.<\/p>\n
The couple made the most of the beachside location with an outdoor ceremony, before the reception at Penguin Surf Club.<\/p>\n
Even a little wind couldn’t spoil the elegant celebrations, even if it did mean the bride couldn’t wear her veil.<\/p>\n
“Our wedding was a beautiful day! It didn’t all go to plan but that didn’t stop us from enjoying the best day of our lives,” Nicole says.<\/p>\n
“It was the best day ever. We laughed, we cried and most importantly said I do!”<\/p>\n
