When Aimee Caldwell thought nothing of\u00a0Craig Todd for \u201csinging and dancing down the supermarket aisles\u201d \u2013 he knew he\u2019d found his girl.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Brisbane couple met via online dating, a relief for Aimee. \u201cThanks goodness for internet and technology because I honestly don\u2019t think our paths would have crossed otherwise,\u201d says the 36-year-old of Craig, also 36. \u201cAs time went on and he just kept ticking all of my boxes, pretty soon we were inseparable.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

They married at their farm wedding\u00a0on September 3, 2016<\/a> with 70 guests. The ceremony and reception<\/a> were held at the one location, Brockhurst Farm at Ocean View in Queensland. Aimee and Craig got their DIY on to create their dream wedding day. \u201c<\/span>Our wedding was DIY; we didn’t have an extravagant budget. Our day was about love and laughter,\u201d says the bride.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur wedding was full of simple detail. It was colourful, pretty and elegant,\u201d she added. \u201cSet on a farm amongst nature, our bestest friends and closest family – it was a winning formula.\u201d<\/p>\n

After pinning ring styles on Pinterest for months, it was Aimee’s mum who said “I have something similar to these!” and dug out her grandmother’s ring\u00a0to show Aimee. “I cried when I saw it,” smiles Aimee. “We all knew it was the one.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If she could do it all over again, Aimee says she’d “allow more time for set-up. DIY weddings are tiring! We would have gone to the venue two days prior instead of one.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Aimee says Craig is her perfect man and he says she’s his 10 out of 10. “We allow each other to be ourselves,” smiles the bride.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":149539,"parent":0,"template":"","au_real_wedding_category":[6855],"au_real_wedding_tag":[6968,6992,8051,7133,7145,7225],"au_real_wedding_style":[9008],"au_real_wedding_location":[9056,9024],"au_real_wedding_setting":[9021],"au_real_wedding_colour":[10580],"au_real_wedding_competition":[],"class_list":["post-193219","au-real-wedding","type-au-real-wedding","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","au_real_wedding_category-6855","au_real_wedding_tag-diy-wedding","au_real_wedding_tag-farm-wedding","au_real_wedding_tag-just-for-love-photography","au_real_wedding_tag-pink-wedding-2","au_real_wedding_tag-real-weddings","au_real_wedding_tag-vintage-wedding-2","au_real_wedding_style-vintage","au_real_wedding_location-brisbane","au_real_wedding_location-qld","au_real_wedding_setting-farm-barn","au_real_wedding_colour-pink-wedding"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-real-wedding\/193219","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-real-wedding"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/au-real-wedding"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au-real-wedding\/193219\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/149539"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=193219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"au_real_wedding_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au_real_wedding_category?post=193219"},{"taxonomy":"au_real_wedding_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au_real_wedding_tag?post=193219"},{"taxonomy":"au_real_wedding_style","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au_real_wedding_style?post=193219"},{"taxonomy":"au_real_wedding_location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au_real_wedding_location?post=193219"},{"taxonomy":"au_real_wedding_setting","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au_real_wedding_setting?post=193219"},{"taxonomy":"au_real_wedding_colour","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au_real_wedding_colour?post=193219"},{"taxonomy":"au_real_wedding_competition","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/au_real_wedding_competition?post=193219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
