Yes! We\u2019re pretty excited about this couple\u2019s choice of bomboniere\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were married on Cup Eve so we bought 110 mystery bets the day before the wedding at the TAB and every guest went home with a little silver bag containing a ticket to see if they won the trifecta on Cup Day,\u201d explains bride Rachel Collins, 31.<\/p>\n<p>She married Peter De La Haye, 33, on November 4, 2013 at their Melbourne wedding. The couple first met as teens and dated for three years before taking a four year \u201chiatus\u201d as Rachel explains. \u201cWe remained close friends for a lot of that time and four years later we found our way back to each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Their big day was focused on fun for their 110 guests. \u201cOur ceremony was full of laughs because of our wonderful celebrant [<a title=\"John Byrne\" href=\"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/MarriageCelebrant\/Melbourne\/JohnByrne\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">John Byrne<\/a>] and our reception was a big party,\u201d says Rachel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m so lucky Pete and I found our way back to each other.\u00a0 I never found someone to make me as happy as he does,\u201d smiles Rachel. \u201cHe tells me at least 20 times a day how much he loves me and enjoys finding new recipes to cook for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But what you\u2019re all wanting to know, is how did the bets go? \u201cUnfortunately there were no winners!\u201d sighs Rachel.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-57776\" alt=\"Rachel_Peter_Melbourne-Wedding_004\"
