When Nathan Smith was interviewing Hannah Gundersen for a job, he didn\u2019t realise he was face to face with his future wife.<\/p>\n

\u201cLuckily for me \u2013 I got the job!\u201d says Hannah, 32. Eighteen months later they began dating and were married on February 15, 2014. But it wasn\u2019t as simple as that. Nathan, 39, had planned to propose during a Queenstown holiday, using one of the rings Hannah always wore, as the \u201cplaceholder\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was already down on his knees, buried in snow, after taking a fall on the ski slopes,\u201d explains Hannah. \u201cI came over to make sure that he wasn\u2019t injured\u2026Nathan took my ski gloves off, expecting to use my Aunty Maxine\u2019s ring to propose with, but there was no ring to be seen. I had forgotten to put it on that day!\u201d<\/p>\n

Nathan put the proposal on hold until a week later, back home in Melbourne, at their favourite restaurant. Seeing the ring was now on Hannah’s right hand, Nathan removed it and, while asking her to be his wife, placed it on her ring finger. “It was such a romantic and intimate proposal,” recalls Hannah.<\/p>\n

Their garden wedding at Ascot House Receptions<\/a> was focused on the guests having a good time. \u201cWe wanted our reception to involve plenty of good music and dancing throughout the night,\u201d says Hannah. \u201cMy nanna, who is 86, is a fantastic dancer and she showed the guests a thing or two on the dance floor – and also took a strong liking to one of our groomsmen who she danced with for most of the night!\u201d<\/p>\n
