brings Andrea &amp; Andy&#8217;s Swan Valley wedding to life"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"lead\">When Andrew Lee met Andrea Kemert he worried their age difference would keep them apart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe lied about his age to me for the first month!\u201d Andrea explains.\u00a0\u201cBeing four years younger he was worried I wouldn&#8217;t &#8216;date&#8217; him and decided to play it cool until I met his parents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Three years later the age difference between Andrea, 29, and Andy, 25, means nothing and the Perth pair have travelled together, bought a house and begun their own business before Andrew proposed with the help of a hot air balloon on a surprise weekend away.<\/p>\n<p>Andrea had a modern black-and-white theme for their Swan Valley wedding on November 15, 2014.\u00a0Seventy friends and family attended the celebrations at Sittella Winery, which also hosted the reception.<\/p>\n<p>The bride took the leading role in getting the look she was after.\u00a0\u201cI didn&#8217;t use any vendors or suppliers for decorating my wedding reception &#8211; the entire place was a DIY project,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Professional magician Robbie T and Sketch My Event\u2019s Rick Adams ensured there was never a dull moment.<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a title=\"Kerri Mackintosh Photography\" href=\"http:\/\/www.kerrimac.com\/\"
