It was just meant to be a boozy night out at ‘Freaky Peaky’ \u2013 but little did Jessica Duffy know, she was preparing to meet the love of her life.<\/p>\n

Jess says she met the man of her dreams, Jake Wilson, at the \u201cseedy\u201d pub in Sydney\u2019s South. \u201cBecause let\u2019s be honest, what good love story every started with romance?\u201d she laughs. Seven years later Jake was asking the big question down on one knee and they began planning their modern rustic wedding.<\/p>\n

The couple, aged 25 and 28<\/a> respectively, married on March 4, 2017 with a ceremony and reception at the one location: Sylvan Glen Country Homestead<\/a> in Penrose, NSW. \u201cAt first glance you may think you have stumbled across a nicely kept barn or shed before uncovering an absolute gem of a venue,\u201d explains Jess.<\/p>\n

And while no wedding is without its hiccups, Jess and Jake certainly had their fair share! Rain was their first hurdle<\/a>, but a blessing in disguise the bride says. \u201cPlan B was just stunning \u2014 an intimate room where I could see everyone as I walked down the aisle with my dad; all the beautiful faces who had come from near and far to celebrate our special day,\u201d she smiles.<\/p>\n

A broken-down bus carrying most of their loved ones and a groomsman with a broken shoulder were additional challenges, but nothing the soon-to-be husband and wife couldn\u2019t handle. \u201cAfter an afternoon of what seemed like pitfalls we took photos in the rain and entered a reception full of boozed-up guests and the fun began,\u201d says Jess.<\/p>\n
