These two eloped in the heart of these lush botanic gardens, with a beautiful tree and a serene lake in the backdrop. As their Celebrant, I had the honour of guiding them through a ceremony that was both simple and heartfelt, and a true celebration of their love.

But just as they were exchanging rings, nature decided to make its presence known. Raindrops fell from the sky, unexpected and sudden, but Molly and Jayden? They took it all in stride. What absolute legends these two are!

With laughter and joy, they embraced the unexpected shower, sharing a romantic kiss as the raindrops fell around them, turning the unexpected shower into a memorable part of their magical day.

Their elopement story is a reminder, that sometimes, the most magical moments happen when we least expect them.

In the midst of the rain, we quickly moved to shelter, ensuring that the marriage certificates stayed dry, then along with their witnesses, the happy couple signed the certificates officially becoming husband and wife.

Unphased by the rain shower these two couldn’t take their eyes off each other.

A bonus of showers on your wedding day is having the area all to yourselves (or close to) giving you even more privacy so you can both completely relax and take in every special moment.

As swiftly as it arrived, the rain departed, leaving the surrounding nature enjoying the fresh hydration and the beautiful gardens glistening under the sunlight again. So Molly and Jayden ventured out with their photographer, capturing many more moments of pure happiness.
