From sparring partners to life partners, things moved quickly for Isabelle Davies and Nick Sharp.<\/p>\n

“Nick and I met at a boxing gym,” Isabelle, 26, explains. “Nick began to train me, and after the first training session, he asked me over for a dinner date.”<\/p>\n

A few training sessions later Isabelle of Melbourne and Nick of New Zealand, were smitten. “He was so enthusiastic about life and had so many family values that I strongly believe in,” recalls the bride of her beau, 31. “We had a lot in common.”<\/p>\n

Nick’s proposal was on a beach in Tasmania with the help of a seaweed ‘X’ to mark the spot, a buried bottle of Moet, and Isabelle’s dog to help\u00a0to dig out the treasure. The couple then began planning<\/a> their Yarra Valley wedding.<\/p>\n

They\u00a0wed on March 30, 2017 in front of 108 friends and family at Stones of the Yarra Valley. After their ceremony in the chapel, the celebrations continued in the modern-style barn.<\/p>\n

“We were surrounded by vines and a cute chapel and Tuscan-like buildings. it was truly a fairy tale wedding,” Isabelle says.<\/p>\n

Instead of a flower girl, the couple chose to have their pup Coco as the honorary flower dog! “We gave her a small flower collar and some greenery<\/a> to wrap around the lead,” describes Isabelle.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
