How we met Working together at Hyatt Hotel Canberra

The proposal ANZAC Day.  Breakfast in bed with a rose and rings placed in the centre of the tray, after he went to a boys weekend while I cleaned the house.

Fondest Memory It was all fantastic, but walking into our suite at the end of the night to find the room scattered with rose petals, candles and a bottle of Moet champagne on ice was beautiful.  I think I had the best bridesmaids in the world!

Funniest Moment It was all funny, we couldn't stop smiling and laughing all day!

Worst Moment Worrying that I would forget my lines but as my husband said... just remember I do!
