Chase Rothnie’s six weeks in a neck brace following a football accident saw him and Aimee Davidson pinching pennies trying to save up for their dream wedding.<\/p>\n
Aimee and Chase had just taken out a mortgage on their first home when Chase, now 28, had a football accident that caused a protruding disc in his neck to compress his spine. Aimee, 25, says that after an emergency ambulance trip to the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, luckily no surgical intervention was required.<\/p>\n
“However, six weeks in a neck collar and no work made finances quite difficult as Chase had just started a new job,” she explains.<\/p>\n
Because of this setback, the Victorian pair decided to cut their losses, forfeit their booking at a Mornington Peninsula venue, and have an intimate\u00a0destination wedding <\/a>in Fiji instead!<\/p>\n On August 5,\u00a02017 Aimee and Chase said ‘I do’ at their Fiji wedding held at Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort on the Coral Coast.<\/p>\n “We had 35 people fly to Fiji from Australia to join in with the festivities,” Aimee says. “We were married in the most stunning chapel overlooking the Fijian coral coast waters. I was the most relaxed bride which is surprising as I normally get quite stressed!”<\/p>\n Aimee says that because of the many setbacks due to Chase’s injury, the pair believed financially they would never be able to get married. “I have now married the most amazing support person and my absolute best friend – and we couldn’t have done it in a more beautiful place than Fiji!”<\/p>\n Wedding photos courtesy of Lia & Stu Destination Photographers<\/a>.<\/p>\n Trash the dress by Videoticz Wedding Photography and Videography<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
