For Perth bride Grace Plichta, being woken at 6am on holiday meant one thing: obscenities!<\/p>\n

Grace and her beau Nathan Haynes were visiting his hometown, Bathurst, NSW, when Nathan decided to surprise her\u00a0with an early hike to the Blue Mountains. Having met at a mutual friend\u2019s wedding, the pair had quickly gone from interstate\u00a0Facebook friends to living together and were now on the verge of an engagement – if only Grace would get out of bed!<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter eventually dragging me out of bed and reaching the bottom of the waterfall,\u201d says Grace, \u201cNathan decided he would get a photo of us. Little did I know he had put the camera on record.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having researched the dialect of Grace\u2019s Aboriginal ancestry, Nathan then tried to execute his sweet and incredibly thoughtful proposal. \u201cHe asked me to marry him in the Kungarakan language,” Grace explains, “to which I replied, \u201cWhat?!\u201d He then proceeded to get down on one knee and ask me again in English while pulling out one of the most beautiful rings I could imagine.\u201d Her final response? More obscenities!<\/p>\n

The pair married on December 5, 2015 in a classic wedding beginning at St Edmund\u2019s Anglican Church, followed by an elegantly styled reception at Caversham House<\/a>. One hundred guests enjoyed the venue’s \u201cphenomenal\u201d food, bomboniere<\/a> candles handmade by Nathan’s sister and a gorgeous atmosphere filled with elegant rustic touches<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Says the bride, \u201cWe were surrounded by all the people we loved the most.\u201d<\/p>\n
