target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vendor search<\/a> on Easy Weddings was the first step to planning the rustic wedding of Jacqueline Zhen and Kek Sheng.<\/p>\n<p>The couple married on June 25, 2016 at Marybrooke Manor in Sherbrooke, Victoria. \u201cAfter a 15-minute search on Easy Weddings, we shortlisted a handful of venues to visit,\u201d explains the bride.<\/p>\n<p>After finding Marybrooke Manor, the planning quickly\u00a0flowed\u00a0with a highlight finding Jacqueline\u2019s gown at <a title=\"Fairytales Bridal Boutique\" href=\"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/WeddingDress\/Melbourne\/FairytalesBridalBoutique\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fairytales Bridal Boutique<\/a>. \u201cIt was the first gown I tried on and my then-fiance just let out the loudest \u2018whoa\u2019 in the boutique \u2013 so I knew it was the one!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Malaysian couple included a cultural tradition\u00a0on the day, where families and relatives gathered at the bride and groom\u2019s separate rooms. \u201cMy fiance then came down with his groomsmen to my room, where he had to get through my bridesmaids blocking the door asking for an auspicious red packet,\u201d explains Jacqueline. \u201cAfter that we had a tea ceremony to pay respect to our elders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Their wedding ceremony, which the bride describes as &#8220;peaceful&#8221; and &#8220;warm&#8221;, followed in the afternoon, with a Buddhist monk conducting their vows under sunny winter skies.\u00a0&#8220;It was\u00a0the calmest day since our preparation started,&#8221; she says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe truly feel grateful that we can now call each other husband and wife, not only because of how well we can live and work together, but the wonderful people we are blessed with around us,\u201d smiles the bride.<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a title=\"Monkee Photography\" href=\"http:\/\/http:\/\/www.monkee.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\"
