Melissa Sharpe might beg to differ.<\/p>\n<p>Those groovy steps were exactly how Clint Starkey won her heart. \u201cClint [34] was certain his sprinkler and shopping trolley dance moves would make me take notice and it worked,\u201d laughs Melissa, 28. \u201cIt didn\u2019t take us long after that night to realise we had something pretty special.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mutual animal lovers, the pair didn\u2019t take long to build a brood of pets once they moved in together. \u201cWe both share a love for animals as well and were quick to fill our house with them,\u201d says Melissa. \u201cWe were very lucky to have developed such a strong love for each other and share a lot of common interests.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The pair were married at their classic wedding on March 22, 2014 in the Hunter Valley and Melissa took a DIY approach. \u201cI tried to do a lot of things myself to both save a bit of money and to make it more personal,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019m sure I drove Clint mad sometimes in the lead up to the day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Melissa and Clint honoured his mum who passed away before the wedding. \u201cAll our guests were handed leopard print ribbons to wear in her memory,\u201d explains Melissa.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-58791\" alt=\"Melissa_Clint_Classic-Wedding_004\"
