On the final leg of our big adventure Brodie proposed on a deserted beach on a beautiful little island off Madagascar,\u201d Tammika, 29, explains.<\/p>\n<p>Tammika and Brodie, also 29, then spent the next two years planning their vintage-themed rustic wedding in front of 85 close friends and family.<\/p>\n<p>The Healesville pair married at Kangaroo Ground\u2019s <a title=\"Inglewood Estate\" href=\"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/WeddingVenues\/Melbourne\/InglewoodEstate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Inglewood Estate<\/a> on October 11, 2014.<\/p>\n<p>Tammika says the greatest surprise in the wedding planning was discovering how keen Brodie was to get involved.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe made the favours for the gents (bottle openers made from railway spikes), went on five shopping expeditions to find his and his groomsmen&#8217;s perfect outfits, came along to help me find bridesmaid dresses, made all the props and, even made the bridesmaids headpieces,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Tammika explains it was these personalised features that helped make their day even more special.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are just two ordinary people who made our wedding perfect by putting our own unique touches on things without spending a fortune,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of\u00a0<a title=\"Mike Semple\" href=\"http:\/\/mikesemple.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\"
