Excellent chef \u2013 check. No arguments \u2013 check.<\/p>\n<p>Chantelle Galbraith may not have written this exact checklist for her perfect mate, but when she met\u00a0Michael Burge at a friend\u2019s housewarming seven years ago, she knew he was the one for her. \u201cWe really can rely on each other and really are best friends,\u201d this 30-year-old bride says of her 31-year-old groom.<\/p>\n<p>In no time they fell\u00a0in love\u00a0and after a few years together became engaged while on a beach holiday. Little did they realise they would be announcing more than just an engagement upon their return. They were expecting their first child. \u201cI had been told I couldn&#8217;t conceive naturally so it was a lovely surprise,\u201d explains Chantelle.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward three years to their Brisbane wedding on April 18, 2015 and the couple, now proud parents of daughter Ella, found themselves in the same boat. \u201cDuring our speech we were able to finally tell everybody that baby number two was on the way,\u201d smiles Chantelle.<\/p>\n<p>However, the special day that made Chantelle\u2019s cheeks hurt \u201cfrom smiling so much\u201d wasn\u2019t without its hiccups. \u201cAn hour before the ceremony, we found out the soloist who was to do the music wasn&#8217;t going to show up,\u201d she explains. \u201cThere was a shuffle around of speakers and the laptop, so I had at least a song to walk down the aisle to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a title=\"Richard Grainger\" href=\"http:\/\/richardgrainger.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Richard
