Michela & Simon | Real Weddings New South Wales
Meet Michela & Simon
Simon and I met when I was working as a property manager. I came to work really unwell one Saturday and had an appointment to value a property. I couldn’t go home because there was no one else to cover it. I turned up to the unit and was taken back by how good looking the owner was. I was distracted by how sick I was and looked around the apartment, and even discounted the commission rate without him having to ask. After the property had been let successfully he asked me out on a date.
The proposal
Simon and I eventually moved into the apartment that I had rented out for him. He proposed on our three year anniversary in that same unit where we had met. When I walked in there were hundreds of tea light candles everywhere and he got down on one knee. I was crying so much the ring was just a blur.
Your Wedding Day
Our wedding day went of to an interesting start! The girls were all running very behind and we were quite late to the church! However from the time we arrived the day was a blur, it all went so fast.
I never thought Simon would cry on the wedding day, I made it without crying until I looked at Simon and saw the corner of his eyes were wet.
The day was fairly cold and windy but none of this mattered to us. We had so much fun doing our photographs and managed to have a lot of laughs with our bridal party and photographers.
All of our flowers were roses as my surname was Rose and we thought we would give it a proper send off!
Our theme was vintage elegance we had a traditional church ceremony and then had our reception at the heritage Waterfront Restaurant. Our colour palette was vintage mauves, silver and creams. We decorated the venue with silver bird cages and lots of roses.
The bridesmaid dresses were full length silk and chiffon in a silver grey with a ribbon around the middle that matched my dress which was french lace it had a sweet heart neckline and was a line with a long train.
The boys were dressed in black suits with silver ties. Comments on the night were that the bridal party all looked very elegant.
The reception had views of the opera house and harbour bridge, it felt really intimate as we had only 90 people.
We learnt from our wedding that the small things that might go wrong are not the things that you remember, its the people who you love and the people that love you is what you remember.
