It\u2019s unconfirmed if the flowing booze at their work Christmas party played a role in the start of Stephanie Wogowitsch and Andrew Barham\u2019s romantic relationship. But now they\u2019re married,\u00a0we can safely say\u00a0it was true love!<\/p>\n
At just 20 years old, Andrew proved himself as a worthy boyfriend, supporting Stephanie through the loss of her dad not long after they got together. \u201cAfter a horrible year of treatment and hospitalisations, my dad passed away and I knew Andy was the one,\u201d says Stephanie. \u201cHis support of my family during this tough time was amazing and went beyond his young years.\u201d<\/p>\n
A proposal during a camping trip at Bay of Fires in their temporary home of Tasmania soon led to their elegant seaside wedding back home in Sydney. \u201cWe were the only ones having champagne and cheese at sunset on the beach and Andy got down on one knee with the most beautiful cushion-cut diamond flanked by tapered baguettes,\u201d remembers Stephanie, now 29, of Andrew, 28.<\/p>\n
They invited 140 guests to join them at Loreto Kirribilli Chapel, followed by a reception at Orso Bayside Reception<\/a> at The Spit. \u201cMy mum walked me down the aisle and the ceremony was full of my dad\u2019s favourite Austrian classical music composers such as Mozart and Haydn,\u201d describes Stephanie. \u201cOur priest Fr Edward was so helpful and taught us a lot about marriage.\u201d<\/p>\n
