What happens when Buzz Lightyear and Tinker Bell get hitched? Colourful love!<\/p>\n

Brisbane couple Terri Hayes, 26, and John Nielsen, 31, were married at their Kangaroo Point rainbow wedding on October 26, 2013 after meeting at a dress-up party.<\/p>\n

Terri said it was a chance union as both parties shared a mutual friend, Camille, and had decided they needed to get out more to socialise. “Upon picking me up and taking me to the party, [John] proceeded to spend the night forgetting my name – ‘It’s Tara, isn’t it?’ – obviously love at first sight,” laughs Terri.<\/p>\n

Overcoming the identity issue, the pair arranged to go on a date at which point Terri thought John may have been the dreaded “Mr Nice Guy”. “But after years together, a proposal under the Eiffel Tower and a year-and-a-half of planning, our special day arrived where I married the ‘nice guy’ – apparently there is no such thing as too nice,” Terri smiles.<\/p>\n

The pair wanted to stand out from the crowd when it came to their big day and consequently chose a colourful theme. “After 17 weddings for our friends and family in the past two years…we wanted something that made ours different,” Terri says. “Bright multi-coloured dresses and oversized balloons were used for our love-lock unity ceremony.”<\/p>\n

The couple used the balloons to set keys free – inspired by their visit to the love lock bridge in Paris.<\/p>\n

Nadine Guenther doubled as a bridesmaid and florist for the special day. “She and my other bridesmaids, family and friends (under her instruction) did an amazing job at doing all the flowers,” praises Terri.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
