We had a very romantic meeting at the airport,\u201d Anna says.<\/p>\n<p>The Brisbane couple, both 26, then climbed up Cape Town\u2019s Lion\u2019s Head to enjoy a picnic and, to Anna\u2019s surprise, a romantic proposal.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of getting on with their wedding plans, the caring couple spent the next two months volunteering in Uganda.<\/p>\n<p>When they returned to Australia, they had just six months to plan their rustic vineyard wedding at Queensland\u2019s O\u2019Reilly\u2019s Canungra Valley Vineyards.<\/p>\n<p>The couple wed on March 28, 2015 in front of 140 guests.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a beautiful rustic chic outdoor wedding with the ceremony on a green lawn next to a bubbling creek,\u201d Anna explains.<\/p>\n<p>While the photos were being taken guests enjoyed afternoon tea on the lawn and games including bocce, totem tennis and giant Jenga before the gorgeous reception in an on-site marquee.<\/p>\n<p>Colourful native flowers and succulents in rustic tins and planter boxes were in keeping with the theme and guests enjoyed a DIY photo booth and plenty of dancing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was shamelessly the best wedding we\u2019ve been to and it was ours,\u201d Anna says.<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a title=\"Bernadette Draffin Photography\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bernadettedraffin.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Bernadette
