Behind every great man is a great woman.<\/p>\n

Carpenter, Brett Hiddlestone, 24, may be strong and robust from the physical nature of his work, but when it comes to his 23-year-old bride, Aimee Sutton, he says, \u201cShe is my backbone – a strong woman who I couldn\u2019t live without.\u201d<\/p>\n

The best friends have a long history, attending both primary and high school together in Mandurah, WA, ahead of their eight-year romance and modern vintage wedding on October 12, 2013.<\/p>\n

The riverside ceremony for an intimate 45 preceded a sit-down reception at Cape Bouvard Winery. \u201cBrett was very involved with the wedding planning,\u201d praises Aimee. \u201cHe even insisted that we had \u2018real flowers\u2019 and no \u2018dark colours\u2019, which made the florist giggle.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another request by the groom: fun and unique wedding photos, which they entrusted with PK Creative Images<\/a>. They were \u201cvery us\u201d says Aimee, noting the King Carnival shots as some of their favourites.<\/p>\n

\u201cStill to this day, Brett sends me flowers from \u2018a secret admirer\u2019 even though I know they are from him,\u201d she smiles. \u201cI love how he can make me laugh, no matter what.\u201d<\/p>\n

“After the wedding I got my sisters-in-law together, who are all married, and we did a fun-for-brides photo shoot in our dresses one last time in Fremantle,” says Aimee.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Rather than doing an alternate drop we had a choice of chicken or beef on our RSVP cards. That way people got what they wanted and it didn\u2019t cost us any more from the caterer,” explains the bride.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
