Love Across Continents: Mel + Dan’s Journey to Forever

From Online Connection to Real-Life Romance – A Tale of Love and Destiny

Mel and Dan’s love story defies distance and embraces destiny. Originating from different parts of the world, their paths crossed through the digital realm, leading to a connection that transcended boundaries and culminated in a love that knows no bounds.

Their story began in 2012, when Dan, hailing from Napier, New Zealand, crossed paths with Mel, Perth-based. Their serendipitous encounter on a dating website sparked conversations that grew into four-hour phone calls and, eventually, Dan boarding a flight to Perth on his week off. Eleven years later, their love story continues to flourish.

When it came to finding the perfect wedding dress, Mel’s journey was about embracing comfort and confidence. After undergoing a transformation post-baby, she sought a dress that made her feel at ease. With the guidance of Nikki at Confetti Occasions, Mel discovered unexpected beauty in fitted attire, falling in love with a dress that resonated with her soul.

Mel’s experience with Studio Levana was nothing short of amazing, studio’s team provided unwavering support and assistance, alleviating any stress or impatience she felt during the dress waiting period.

I am a perfectionist and like things to be how I imagined them - letting go and going with the flow was definitely something I had to work on, and I'm so glad I did!
