True love is hard to find and that is why Marisa Dickenson, 29, and Naithan Van Der Linde, 30,\u00a0created their wedding day under the theme of the fisherman’s knot – the true love knot.<\/p>\n

The couple of nine years married by Tinaroo Lake, Atherton, QLD\u00a0on August 24, 2013 and shared their simple wedding at the Lake’s resort with 108 guests.<\/p>\n

To complement the tranquil outdoors, Marisa opted for a fresh colour scheme including Tiffany-blue coloured dresses for her bridesmaids.<\/p>\n

The theme of the lakeside wedding was carefully selected by the couple to represent their relationship journey. “As both Naithan and I enjoy fishing and adventure we based our wedding around the fisherman’s knot,” explains Marisa. “As the tale goes, there are two chords that represent both our lives before today.<\/p>\n

“Our past lives will now be joined to create one new life as the ropes are intertwined, creating the strongest knot that will symbolise our future marriage.”<\/p>\n

She explains the power of the bond – one that will not break and only become stronger when there is pressure or hard times. “In fact, as the rope tightens, so will our union.”<\/p>\n

A highlight on the day was a surprise visit from Naithan’s brother. “We thought he couldn’t attend as he was currently deployed by the defence force at the time,”\u00a0Marisa recalls.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
