A spring storm was making its way over Jack Rabbit’s Bellarine vineyard on a 20C November day.
Georgia’s waiting dad thought she might not arrive before the rain but she married handyman husband Matt under a stunning floral arch among the vines in the nick of time.
HOW THEY MET
It wasn’t love at first sight for these two lovebirds. Georgia and Matt met through mutual friends.
“Our friendship groups were the same but I was running away from him for a long time – the poor thing. He had to work for it,” Georgia laughs.
THE PROPOSAL
Matt and Georgia were on a camping trip in Anglesea to celebrate Matt’s birthday when he proposed.
“We were just walking our dogs along the beach and then he just suddenly turned around and proposed with a ring,” Georgia reflects.
THE RING
Matt chose for Georgia a stunning brilliant-cut diamond set in a white gold ring.
THE PLANNING
Georgia handled most of the planning process herself.
“I discovered Pinterest for the first time and looked at a lot of wedding magazines.
“My family and friends also helped me. My best friend is actually a florist and she was very helpful and gave a lot of advice.”
