heat up at Amanda and Willy&#8217;s Darwin wedding"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"lead\">When date night is herding a mob of cattle or fixing fences in the Darwin heat, it\u2019s got to be true love.<\/p>\n<p>Amanda Baglot, 30, met her beau William Brown, 34, after moving from Canada to Australia for work. &#8220;I was a city girl through and through so how I ended up on a cattle station in Outback Australia is anybody&#8217;s guess,&#8221; she says. &#8220;But that&#8217;s exactly where I found myself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It was\u00a0during a stint working as a station-hand on a cattle property in the Northern Territory that Willy made Amanda&#8217;s heart beat a little faster. \u201cOur dating involved going fencing with him for the day or riding our horses on the tail of a mob of cattle or, on a lucky day off, going to the river to catch a fish,\u201d laughs Amanda.<\/p>\n<p>After nearly four years and three cattle stations, Willy proposed and they began planning their Darwin wedding for April 9, 2016 which ended up being a record hot day. \u201cWe wanted something simple,<a title=\"10 ideas for your rustic wedding\" href=\"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/articles\/10-ideas-rustic-wedding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> rustic<\/a> and fun,\u201d says the bride.<\/p>\n<p>The <a title=\"Marriage Celebrants\" href=\"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/MarriageCelebrant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ceremony<\/a> and reception were held in different settings at George Brown Botanic Gardens. \u201cWe were so blessed to have family and friends come over from Canada and all over Australia, it really was an international wedding,\u201d explains Amanda. \u201cAlthough it was the hottest day in 70 years for April in Darwin, we still managed to dance the night away!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a title=\"Blue Sky Photography\"
