Question about marriage

Hi, I am in a long distance relationship with someone in the Philippines. We are looking to get married, but in the Philippines, you need to get your parents consent if you are under 21 and she is 19. If we were to get married in Australia, will she still need parental consent? The reason why we don't want her parents consent is because her mother is emotionally abusive, controlling and toxic. She will never consent to us getting married.

Is shared/feasting style catering dead?

I've been seeing more and more single-serve food ideas for weddings — does this mean shared/feasting style is on the way out? Or was that just a response during covid? Does single-serve catering cost more? Thanks.
