High school sweethearts Jessica and Sam say they were lucky to find each other early in life.<\/p>\n

After more than nine years together, Sam proposed while the NSW Central Coast couple were on a Melbourne getaway.<\/p>\n

“We woke up on the\u00a0morning of our anniversary and he presented me with a gorgeous Tiffany & Co<\/a> ring and asked for my hand\u00a0in marriage,” Jessica says.<\/p>\n

“I think these days it\u2019s rare to see and hear of people who have been together for such a\u00a0long time and at a young age, but we just feel blessed to have met each other early on in life.”<\/p>\n

The couple chose\u00a0Terrara House Estate for their rustic wedding celebrations on December 18, 2015.\u00a0Eighty-five guests watched on as the long-time lovebirds said “I do” in a picture-perfect garden ceremony.<\/p>\n

A marquee on the grounds of the historic Terrara venue hosted the reception and was decorated with beautiful blooms<\/a> and rustic touches.<\/p>\n

“After 11 years, I married my high school sweetheart\u00a0and the love of my life,” Jessica says of the big day. “I love him because he knows me better than anyone else.”<\/p>\n
