It was where this couple first shared the words \u201cI love you\u201d that was the destination for their outback wedding on August 16, 2014.<\/p>\n

But marrying in Western Australia\u2019s Broome at Cape Leveque wasn\u2019t a simple task for Nicolette Glasson and Benjamin Farquhar, both 31. \u201cPlanning a wedding at a remote, eco tourist destination was truly epic,\u201d explains Nicolette. \u201cAlmost every single item for the ceremony and reception had to be transported from Broome over 200km of unsealed dirt road.\u201d<\/p>\n

And the bridegroom ensured every guest experienced the Kimberley the authentic way. \u201cWe hired 4WD cars for our guests and booked out the entire Kooljaman Eco Resort where they stayed in beach shacks, safari tents and cabins,\u201d smiles Nicolette. \u201cWe wanted all our guests to feel they were getting the unique Kimberley experience and to fall in love with the place just as Ben and I had.\u201d<\/p>\n

The couple said the arrival of their son Alexander prior to the wedding added to the meaning of their big day. \u201cFrom the bridesmaids nearly getting hit by the incoming tide, to seeing Alex dressed in his little shorts and bow tie sitting up in the front row and finally marrying Ben on the sand \u2026 was an incredible feeling.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nicolette says her gown by Melbourne designer Anna Campbell was a \u201crisky choice\u201d size-wsie having only just given birth to Alex. \u201cBut it fitted perfectly on the day,\u201d she smiles.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cWe had spent quite a bit of time on our ceremony and the vows and it fitted perfectly with the very simple and relaxed ceremony we had wanted,\u201d says Nicolette.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
