And despite Emily saying \u201cAdam\u2019s goatee, nose piercing, metal-band shirts and ear-stretchers\u201d meant he wasn\u2019t the typical guy she would go for, he caught her eye while driving her and other staff to and from work.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After sitting next to Adam during a first-aid course and he rolled up my bandages for me, I began to think he was a little bit sweet,&#8221; remembers Emily. One goodnight kiss later and the pair were an item. They celebrated their first date on Melbourne Cup day and two years later on the same day, but at a different racecourse, he nervously popped the question. \u201cIn the middle of a crowded tent at Doomben Race Course in Brisbane, Adam got down on one knee and proposed,\u201d smiles Emily.<\/p>\n<p>The Brisbane couple gave themselves just seven months to plan their romantic vintage wedding for June 5, 2015. The bride says the planning was a \u201crollercoaster\u201d, but one they enjoyed together. \u201cWe felt that the keys to creating a successful day were to make it personal, make it ours, and to involve as many friends and relatives in the process as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With 60 guests the couple wed at Cedar Creek Estate Winery. \u201cBeing <a title=\"Keeping warn during those crisp
