He had visited her home country to meet her, and they were engaged six months later when she first travelled Australia. But the process of getting a visa to actually be together forever was tough. \u201cAaron and I we were apart about seven months \u2026 we felt very frustrated because all my applications for visitor visas were refused,\u201d explains the bride, 26 of her relationship with Aaron, 30. But their feelings only grew stronger the longer they were separated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn January 2016 I was granted the prospective marriage visa,\u201d says Olga. So the planning for their rustic wedding in Eynesbury Golf Club, Victoria on April 23, 2016 began. Olga\u2019s relatives were not able to attend the wedding, but her other half&#8217;s\u00a0family stepped in. \u201cAaron\u2019s mother, Anne, was helping me a lot with my <a title=\"Using technology to bust your wedding planning stress\" href=\"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/blogs\/easy-weddings-blog\/fresh-ideas-using-tech-wedding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bride routine<\/a>.

We share the same values in life and understand each other without saying a word,\u201d praises the bride.<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a title=\"Love Street Photography Design\"
