Australia-born Rikki married Canadian Adam at a romantic garden wedding surrounded by family and friends from across the globe. The sun was shining and everyone came together to celebrate as one.<\/p>\n

For the couple, priorities lay with keeping things simple, elegant and romantic. The focus was on family, love and everyone feeling relaxed while having a blast.<\/p>\n

Rikki and Adam made a point of including many personal touches throughout the day to make it uniquely theirs.\u00a0At the garden ceremony, held at Distillery Botanica, the couple’s eight-month-old niece and 10-month-old nephew began the bridal processional pulled along in a wagon made by Rikki’s dad, before Rikki and Adam exchanged personal vows that left everyone in tears.<\/p>\n

Later, at the reception held at Umina Beach Surf Club, Adam’s dad surprised everyone by singing and performing a song on the piano that he wrote especially for the newlyweds.<\/p>\n

Several decor elements were DIYed by family members. Adam’s 85-year-old grandfather hand-carved wooden names for the bridal table, ring box and cake topper, while Rikki’s mother made the delicious one-tier wedding cake herself. Additionally, Adam and his sister contributed by making a special wedding ‘shot ski’ – a Canadian tradition – which had the couple taking shots after cutting their cake.<\/p>\n
