Lauren took no chances letting a Bradley Cooper look-alike slip by the bar, but later learning he was a fellow geek\u2026 now that was really something.<\/p>\n
Irish pair Lauren and Hugh, aged 29 and 30 respectively, met at a \u201ctrashy\u201d Sydney bar in 2013. “I walked past a guy who was a splitting image of Bradley Cooper,” Lauren recalls. \u201cHe bought me a gin and tonic and we sat with our feet in the pool talking for the rest of the night.\u201d<\/p>\n
When it was time to wind things up, Lauren grabbed Hugh\u2019s phone and put her number in it.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I knew I loved him was a few months into dating,” Lauren says. “We\u2019d watch Harry Potter<\/em> and eat pizza with our glasses on and that\u2019s when I knew he was a geek like me.”<\/p>\n The Sydney couple wed in front of 110 guests on March 3, 2018 at Wandin Valley Estate, <\/a>Lovedale. “We had loved ones coming from as far as Belfast and Brooklyn celebrating not just our wedding but a married life together,” smiles Lauren.<\/p>\n “I wanted to bring a bit of Ireland to the day so that our Aussie friends got to experience the fun of our culture first hand,” she adds. “I had no idea my parents-in-law could jig until I saw them enter the room to our Irish band\u2026 it was easily one of the highlights to see mum and mum-in-law flailing their legs with straight arms by their sides!\u201d<\/p>\n Photos courtesy of Fortunate Fellow Photography<\/a>.<\/p>\n Lauren had the couple’s wedding date engraved on the bottom of her custom Jimmy Choos. “A really special purchase that I will wear again,” she says, but also comments, “Have back up shoes<\/a>! By 10pm I was dancing barefoot.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Hugh also enjoyed\u00a0the custom-designed experience with a tailor made suit<\/a> from The Bespoke Corner. “We were able to choose every little detail, from the lining to the button holes; they even put our wedding date under the collar,” Lauren says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/p>\n
