\u201cFate kept us apart until I\u2019d gotten my braces off and he\u2019d stopped wearing a bum-bag.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yep, sometimes destiny just takes five to make sure when true loves do find one another they are well prepared to make it last! Ally Mosher and Clint Taylor, aged 24 and 25 respectively, grew up in Sydney’s\u00a0Blue Mountains and shared many mutual friends. But it wasn\u2019t until years later they met.<\/p>\n

After six years together the graphic designer and police officer\u00a0married at their country rustic wedding on October 24, 2015. \u201cWe\u2019re both Aussie but have Celtic<\/a> heritage, something I\u2019ve always felt connected to,\u201d says Ally. So they\u00a0hunted for a venue<\/a> that not only reflected their love of the Blue Mountains but also a Celtic touch. They found Secret Creek Sanctuary in Lithgow which\u00a0boasted animals, a hand-built caf\u00e9 and green surroundings.<\/p>\n

The couple opted for an intimate guest list of 60 and had one of their close friends as a celebrant. And even though it was the simple ceremony Ally dreamed of (“in, married, out, let’s party,” she says), she laughs that\u00a0she was anything but a “graceful bride!”<\/p>\n

\u201cI got a stone in my shoe walking down the aisle, my hair fell out of its up-do, I had bugs in my veil and my engagement ring<\/a> got stuck on my right hand,\u201d she says. \u201cIt was a good ice-breaker at the reception, but police rescue had to cut it off\u00a0three days later!”<\/p>\n

Despite all that, the couple had a ball, and can only thank their\u00a0guests for that. “Everyone came ready to celebrate and party,\u00a0and our guests are still telling us it was the best wedding they\u2019ve been to \u2013 without realising they should be the ones thanked for that!”<\/p>\n

“There\u2019s nothing like this place,” says Ally. “As we had our first kiss and the guests cheered, the dingoes all began to howl. It was a goosebump-inducing moment.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
