The romantic gesture was followed by a \u201cmemorable night under the stars with animals below\u201d, says the bride. \u201cWe felt it was so important to us both that we shared part of this experience with our family and friends at our wedding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The pair did that by choosing a unique set-up for their relaxed wedding on March 21, 2015. \u201cWe had an outdoor ceremony on a private lakeside property followed by an outside marquee reception,\u201d explains Natasha. \u201cWe organised a clear roof marquee so we could gaze into the sky all night long and our memory of South Africa could now be shared with our most important people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The marquee-with-a-twist made for stunning photos as the sun fell on Noosa\u2019s north shore in Queensland. \u201cWe decided to use long tables just like you were at your home and had table after table touching each other just so you could fit your whole family on one,\u201d says Natasha. This setup was also complemented by another homely touch \u2013 a spice bar. \u201cEach guest was given an empty jar\u2026and chose a spice of their choice, filled their jar, took the recipe and now can share the meal with family and friends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a title=\"Pete Dillon\" href=\"http:\/\/petedillon.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Pete Dillon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"clearfix\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-78902 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Natasha_Jon_Relaxed-Wedding_SBS_009.jpg\" alt=\"Natasha_Jon_Relaxed-Wedding_SBS_009\" width=\"534\" height=\"800\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-78901 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Natasha_Jon_Relaxed-Wedding_SBS_008.jpg\" alt=\"Natasha_Jon_Relaxed-Wedding_SBS_008\" width=\"534\" height=\"800\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"clearfix\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-78903 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Natasha_Jon_Relaxed-Wedding_SBS_010.jpg\" alt=\"Natasha_Jon_Relaxed-Wedding_SBS_010\" width=\"534\" height=\"800\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-78896 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Natasha_Jon_Relaxed-Wedding_SBS_003.jpg\" alt=\"Natasha_Jon_Relaxed-Wedding_SBS_003\" width=\"534\" height=\"800\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-78832\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Natasha_Jon_Relaxed-Wedding_006-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Natasha_Jon_Relaxed-Wedding_006\" width=\"550\" height=\"824\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-78849\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Natasha_Jon_Relaxed-Wedding_015.jpg\" alt=\"Natasha_Jon_Relaxed-Wedding_015\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-78852\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Natasha_Jon_Relaxed-Wedding_018.jpg\" alt=\"Natasha_Jon_Relaxed-Wedding_018\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-78838\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Natasha_Jon_Relaxed-Wedding_009.jpg\" alt=\"Natasha_Jon_Relaxed-Wedding_009\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Natasha says she couldn&#8217;t wipe the smile off her face throughout her whole wedding day.
