\"05-May-Mikhaela-Shaun\"<\/p>\n

Congrats to Mikhaela and Shaun\u00a0who’ve been crowned our May<\/a>\u00a0Wedding of the Month winners!
\n<\/em>They are in the running for a luxe Thailand<\/a> honeymoon with Melati Beach Resort & Spa<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

After months of helping Shaun Gregory pick outfits for dates with other women, Mikhaela Bik finally scored her turn.<\/p>\n

The retail assistant (who now works in property) was Shaun\u2019s only go-to for clothing. \u201cHe was the most painful customer to serve, so indecisive, and always wanted to be told he looked HOT,\u201d laughs Mikhaela, 27, of her 28-year-old beau. \u201cOne day he finally asked me out and from then we were inseparable.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Gold Coast couple married at their romantic garden wedding on March 25, 2017 in the presence of 90 guests. The ceremony setting at Coollibah Downs Private Estate<\/a> in the Nerang Hinterland was described by the bride as \u201coozing romance\u201d. \u201cThe lush green backdrop of rainforest and an old wooden gazebo draped in fresh floral arrangements was stunning,\u201d says Mikhaela.<\/p>\n

The newlyweds then celebrated in the permanent marquee on the property filled with chandeliers and fairy lights. \u201cI had made each table number from photos of Shaun and I at the age of the number,\u201d says the bride. \u201cThe bubbles did not stop flowing and the dance floor did not get air until the last dance<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n
