Having been to some beautiful weddings for family and friends, it was now time for everyone to come to Melbourne to see\u00a0Katelyn Hazelwood and David Milstein\u00a0get hitched.<\/span><\/p>\n

The couple, aged 33 and 35 respectively, married in Albert Park, the bayside suburb where they first met, on January 23, 2016. Previously they’d travelled to Hawaii and Port Douglas for their respective siblings’ weddings, gaining inspiration for their own along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Our wedding was ‘us,'” says Katelyn. “It was family and friends having a party to celebrate us and what love is to us.” The pair coined the\u00a0terms\u00a0‘bridesmates’ and ‘groomsmates’ for\u00a0their wedding party. “There were no rules or expectations. Just friends hanging out and feeling comfortable,” she explains.<\/p>\n

Katelyn and David’s\u00a0ceremony on the deck at Carousel<\/a>\u00a0was followed by a reception indoors. \u201cThe night was a big party with dancing, espresso martinis and selfie sticks<\/a> dotted around to capture so many memories,\u201d smiles Katelyn. It was extra special as the bride\u2019s brother James married the pair. \u201cWe got a great laugh when he announced us husband and wife and said that David could now kiss his sister.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Boutique wedding band, Connotations<\/a>, got their groove on\u00a0at both the ceremony and reception, and as an added bonus, the 192 guests were treated to some Neil Diamond! “David\u2019s uncle, a Neil Diamond impersonator, got up and sang Sweet Caroline<\/em> for us,” explains Katelyn.<\/p>\n

The wine-buffs, who had guests sign wine bottles instead of a\u00a0guest book, headed to Western Australia\u2019s Margaret River for their honeymoon. “AMAZING,” recalls Katelyn. “We may have gone a bit crazy on our honeymoon and bought more than 100 bottles!”<\/span><\/p>\n
