Louise first recognised Sean because he lived near her and had attended the same school a few years above her. They became closer when they were assigned to work together making drinks. While teaching Louise how to prepare cappuccinos and lattes, Sean placed his hand over hers to show her how to heat the milk. Louise remembers wondering whether he did that with everyone or whether she was special to him.

As a curvy bride, Louise wanted to find a bridal shop where she would feel comfortable and relaxed. She was worried that dresses in a traditional bridal boutique might not fit her, so choosing the right store was especially important.
At Lush Curve Bridal, Louise tried on several Studio Levana gowns and was surprised by how many she liked. She appreciated being able to combine different bodice styles, skirt shapes, and sleeves to create the look she wanted.
Louise also valued the corset construction because it gave her additional support throughout the wedding day. Her final bridal look featured an off-the-shoulder neckline, a flowing skirt, a detailed belt, and a long veil.

One of Louise’s favourite moments was entering the wedding breakfast with Sean and seeing their guests happy for them. She also loved seeing the colourful flowers and styling they had chosen. Their first dance was another moment she remembers clearly. Although their guests were around them, Louise felt as though no one else was there.
Now that the wedding celebrations are behind them, Louise and Sean hope to book their honeymoon for March next year. After that, they would like to move house and begin a project to make their new home their own.
