Alisha Moss and Matthew Kernich may never have met if it wasn\u2019t for their two conspiring mothers!<\/p>\n

The pair, aged 28 and 30 respectively, were introduced in Melbourne. \u201cI worked part-time at a chemist, but little did I know at the time that my mother and Matt\u2019s step-mother worked\u00a0together and were conspiring to get us together,\u201d smiles the bride.<\/p>\n

After a not-so-subtle introduction at Alisha’s pharmacy,\u00a0some phone-number swapping and Facebook stalking, the two met up for a date over a \u201ccasual bowl of wedges,\u201d explains Alisha. Two years later they made the move from Melbourne to Perth.<\/p>\n

Their elegant beach wedding was celebrated on March 5, 2016 with 120 guests at Coogee Beach Surf Club. The lifesaving club south of Fremantle boasts stunning ocean<\/a> views. \u201cWe had friends and family come from all over Australia to share our day and it was full of laughs,\u201d smiles Alisha. \u201cIt was simple but yet so magical.\u201d<\/p>\n
