Angie’s childhood dreams come true at romantic elegant wedding

Normally Contiki tours are a space for holiday flings – but for Angie and Sean, their travel romance led to marriage!

The couple, aged 25 and 32, met while touring Europe and we inseparable after the first day. “As the tour was coming to an end, Sean promised he was going to visit – as I was from Perth and he was from Adelaide – but I didn’t think he actually would,” explains Angie. “Well, two weeks later, Sean was in Perth and that was the beginning of our long-distance relationship.”

They travelled to and fro for two years before settling in Adelaide and buying a home. Sean proposed in the beautiful Barossa Valley and they began planning their romantic elegant wedding. They celebrated on April 7, 2018 with 280 guests at Angie’s parents farm in Bindoon, WA.

“I had always dreamt of getting married there, ever since I was a little girl,” explains the bride. “Our ceremony was held in the gardens under our gazebo, which was surrounded by red roses and our reception was held on our tennis court, under the stars.”
