A chance meeting at a hostel in Rio was an obvious \u201cmeant to be\u201d moment for Rachel and Dominic, aged 33 and 29 respectively, who had more in common than expected.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter chatting to the hostel barman, he pointed me in the direction of the local web designer who was currently designing the hostel’s website as we would have a lot in common because we were both designers,\u201d explains Rachel. \u201cI went over to chat to him and discovered we had been working on the same design project in London without even knowing it, we were obviously meant to cross paths.”<\/p>\n
But when the holiday ended the couple didn\u2019t know if they would see one another again. Lucky for them both, Dom took a chance and flew to Sydney to see if there was something between them. He never left!<\/p>\n
They married at their Rio inspired wedding on October 1, 2017 with 80 guests. Bendooley Estate was an obvious choice <\/a>for the pair who fell in love with its book barn \u2013 a link to the Book Hostel where they met. \u201cThese themes<\/a> of how we met inspired how we designed our wedding,\u201d smiles the bride.<\/p>\n
