Eugene.<\/p>\n<p>Both were undertaking medical degrees, but on different ends of the country, when they first made contact.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;From the first time we spoke to the first time we met we knew there was a special connection,&#8221; Shiju, 28, says.<\/p>\n<p>The couple later returned to their hometown of Melbourne where\u00a0Eugene, 34, popped the question. &#8220;Eugene proposed on a lovely warm Saturday picnic at the Botanical Gardens with blessings from both our families and a stunning diamond,&#8221; smiles the bride.<\/p>\n<p>Romance and glamour ruled the couple&#8217;s <a
