Years later, Ben took Holly back to the showgrounds to propose. \u201cHe designed the ring, surprised me and made sure family and friends were around to celebrate with,\u201d she smiles.<\/p>\n<p>The pair married at their vintage country wedding on September 20, 2014 in the Hunter Valley. Holly said it had everything she\u00a0and Ben had dreamed of; glam, glitz, horse and cart and bow ties \u2013 to name a few. \u201cWe were so proud of one another as we did it on our own \u2013 we saved the money and made most of the d\u00e9cor,\u201d says Holly. \u201cI really enjoyed making chalkboard signs and details about Ben that made the room personal to the two of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Holly\u2019s Anna Campbell gown was fitting for their vintage theme. &#8220;I loved the idea of a dress that was comfortable and that flowed &#8211;
