Daniel wanted to arrive in style, after all, the groom normally arrives with a friend or family member while everyone waits for the bride. We surprised all our guests and the groomsmen with a helicopter dropping Daniel and his groomsmen off. I was very calm all day, I had no hesitation about marrying my best friend Daniel, until the helicopter arrived. We live in the resort that contains Links Hope Island Golf Club so I saw Daniel arrive, I started crying as my limo arrived because that was my groom in the helicopter and he was arriving to see me and marry me. It was very emotional. Walking down the aisle with my uncle as my father had passed away, I had to be held back, when I saw Daniel at the end of the aisle I started to run towards him, everyone laughed at my excitement. During the ceremony, every time our celebrant said, husband or wife, I started giggling I was so happy and had to stop the ceremony for multiple tissue breaks. While we were getting photos, our guests were treated to home made chocolate rum pots that Daniel and I make, we personalised them by designing a shot glass with our wedding details for each guest to keep. A sign saying "something to eat, something to keep" was displayed for the guests. The guests were also treated to an assortment of wine from the winery I worked for as well as canapes. We entered the reception space where our guests were already seated with dry ice placed in the fountain in the center of the room. Our wedding cake was made by my best friend and maid of honor and was 3 tiered. Traditional fruit soaked in port, white chocolate & tahitian lime, Chocolate hazelnut
