A ceremony at Audrey Wilkinson Winery was followed by a reception at Hunters Quarter at Cockfighters Ghost Winery. \u201cMy dad made homemade tomato relish as gifts for the guests,\u201d explains the bride. \u201cThis was very special to me as it\u2019s my grandmother\u2019s recipe. We thought this would be a nice personal touch and a good way to honour her memory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the help from loved ones didn\u2019t stop there. The bride\u2019s cousin provided her stunning <a title=\"5 super unique wedding bouquets that aren\u2019t just flowers\"

wedding was watching (and trying to help) her put my bouquets together which were the most beautiful bouquets I\u2019ve ever seen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jemma and Brett\u2019s <a title=\"Music for wedding
