An outdoor wedding<\/a> on a winter\u2019s day might sound risky, but Sydney turned it up for this couple\u2019s July 22, 2017 event.<\/p>\n

Elissa and Tom, aged 28 and 27 respectively, met in the Hunter Valley through a mutual friend. Neither expected it to go anywhere \u2013 both focused on finishing university and beginning their careers. But, as Tom describes, they slowly came together like \u201cpieces of a puzzle\u201d.<\/p>\n

A couple of years into the relationship, Tom surprised Elissa with a proposal during a picnic by Sydney\u2019s Harbour Bridge. Several months later they married at their romantic Sydney <\/a>wedding.<\/p>\n

Their ceremony with 80 people at Observatory Hill Park was followed by a reception at The Grounds of Alexandria. \u201cWe were blessed with each other, and took a gamble on an outdoor wedding in winter,\u201d explains Tom. \u201cThe day turned out perfectly and we had a great time at the wedding and reception.\u201d<\/p>\n
