The country rustic wedding of Kate and Tristan was full of special touches, many inspired by their time in the Middle East.<\/p>\n
The couple landed in Jordan for work purposes shortly after becoming engaged. There, Kate worked on her dream gown and planning<\/a> their special day from thousands of kilometres away, planning to marry at Table Top Mountain in NSW.<\/p>\n \u201cI sat down and drew what I wanted and took it to a local tailor<\/a> in Jordan,\u201d the bride says of her dress. \u201cCountless hours and fittings later, Arabic tea and painful translation issues, I had the gown of my dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n On the big day, March 25, 2017, groom Tristan was surprised by Kate and her bridal party arriving in a Chevrolet, Holden ute. Guests drank wine from Lebanon, the same wine the couple tasted contemplating their blessings after visiting a Syrian refugee camp on the Lebanese-Syrian border. \u201cWe also drank from champagne glasses used 38 years earlier at my parents wedding,\u201d smiles Kate.<\/p>\n Thank-you gifts for the guests were broken from eight kilograms of nougat carried back in hand luggage from Jordan, and the table numbers<\/a> were handcrafted on the Amalfi Coast in Italy. \u201cThere were many other little personal touches, too many to mention, that made our wedding unique and told a story about us,\u201d explains the bride.<\/p>\n
