And from there, everything just fell into place,&#8221; Kauai says.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;About a year later, he brought over his family for Christmas in Nauru and it was on Christmas Day, he took me to the

very special place in our hearts,&#8221; Kauai says.<\/p>\n<p>The bride describes the big day as &#8220;magical&#8221; and encouraged others to enjoy every moment of their own.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Whether it\u2019s finding the dress with mum, food and wine tasting with your fianc\u00e9, or getting dresses altered with your bridesmaids and then of course the big day, it goes by so quick but appreciating every moment helps,&#8221; she says.<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a title=\"Ben Clark Photography\" href=\"http:\/\/benclarkphotography.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Ben Clark
