She describes the beginning of their romance as a budding young law student meeting a dashing farmer at &#8230; a rodeo. \u201cThe connection was instant when Lachie asked me to &#8216;camp in his swag&#8217;,\u201d Minnie\u00a0laughs. \u201cI kindly declined but that didn&#8217;t deter my farmer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lachie drove to Melbourne the following day to take Minnie out on a date. Over the following six years, the three-and-a-half-hour drive to see one another continued. \u201cI&#8217;m now at the farm and commuting back and forth to the city for lawyer life,\u201d says the bride.<\/p>\n<p>Almost 150 guests attended their ceremony at a private property on Merricks Beach on Victoria&#8217;s coastline. \u201cOur family friend kindly allowed us to be married in one of her
