Sonia & Danny | Real Weddings South Australia

Meet Sonia & Danny

We met at a Melbourne Cup race meet at Morphettville Racecourse in Adelaide in 2006.

It was meant to be a setup, however, we had both said how much we hated setup’s and were’nt interested. That all changed when we met!!!

We dated from that moment on and here we are married and all loved up!

The proposal

Danny took me to Melbourne for the real Melbourne Cup (as it would have been 4 years since we met.) We were on a wine tour with 6 of our best friends and Danny kept trying to get me to go for a walk. I wasn’t catching on so he ended up sliding the box across the table at lunch Montalto winery in front of our friends. It was a very special moment and I will never forget how exciting that was!

Your Wedding Day

We had the best day of our lives. The weather was a concern all week and somehow we picked the one day that was 29 and perfect. Every day in the lead up and the week after rained!

I was 30 minutes late, as we got married on a Friday and didn’t account for peak hour traffic lights!!!

The ceremony was really relaxed and casual which is just how we wanted it. Danny accidentally put the ring on my wrong finger. (I think he was a bit nervous!!)

We had 170 guests who all seemed to thoroughly enjoy the day as much as we did.

Our venue for both the ceremony and the reception was Glen Ewin Estate at Houghton. It is a beautiful location and I highly recommend it.

The food that we chose was a 12-course banquet which worked really really well. All of our guests had all of the dishes which were shared in the middle of the tables. The food was unlimited so all of our guests were really well fed.

Our honeymoon was to LA, New York Cancun Mexico, Las Vegas and San Francisco it was the best trip either of us have been on and definitely a trip of a lifetime.
