Saying \u2018Will you marry me?\u2019 with a gift is a cute idea. Delivering it on a puppy is the ultimate!<\/span><\/p>\n Lee Amer took her beau Nathan Brown away for a surprise birthday weekend. Little did she know, the 33-year-old was planning his own surprise for his girlfriend, also 33. \u201cHe organised a Pandora bracelet that spelt out \u2018marry me\u2019 to be delivered to me by our beautiful puppy who came bounding into the kitchen holding the little package in his mouth,\u201d explains Lee.<\/span><\/p>\n The couple married at their vineyard\u00a0<\/a>wedding on March 26, 2016 in front of 100 guests. A ceremony at Pialligo Estate gardens in Canberra was followed by a reception in the venue\u2019s glasshouse. \u201cWe loved making our wedding ‘our wedding’ by creating unique items and experiences throughout the day,\u201d says the bride. \u201cWe incorporated a ‘wine ceremony’ into our wedding where we combined two local Canberra wines, a red and a white (which we regularly promote amongst family and friends) to symbolise a new life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n But a signature drop\u00a0wasn\u2019t the only clever and personal element on the day. The couple made their own bouquets and boutonnieres<\/a> out of buttons, upcycled jars with fresh herbs from their own garden as centerpieces and used old wine bottles with fairy lights for table numbers.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cOur cake<\/a> was our pi\u00e8ce de r\u00e9sistance,\u201d smiles Lee. \u201cWe made it ourselves choosing our favourite cheeses.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Photos courtesy of Tracy Lee Photography<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The\u00a0modern-look groom was dressed by Black Tie By Xavier<\/a>\u00a0in a navy suit and light grey vest with\u00a0his groomsmen in reverse colours.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n “Nathan and I love wine and are avid learners about the differences in grapes, wine varietals and regions they reflect,” explains Lee.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n
