Glenn booked a room at the Stamford Plaza in Brisbane. After we had arrived, we went for a walk in the botanical gardens in the afternoon and I thought for sure he would propose then but he didn?t. We went back to our room to dress for dinner. Glenn had asked me to pick where we would go for dinner so I had selected the Pancake manor. After dinner he pulled the ring box out and put it on the table and said will you marry me. Glenn was so nervous he had this look on his face as if I was going to say no, but offcourse I accepted! We then went to the movies. Our engagement party wasn?t long after this on the 8th November 2003.

We had a Catholic ceremony at the Sacred Heart Church at Rosalie. It is truly a beautiful church with lots of stained glassed windows, high ceilings, it was just so picture perfect! Our reception followed at the Botanical Gardens at Mt Cootha. The day was so romantic, yet fun and exciting at the same time. We had friends from overseas and interstate, which made our wedding even more special. I couldn’t have asked for a more spectacular wedding day. We only wish the day didn’t go by so quickly. We would give the world to do it all again, but we have our memories to look back on and cherish always.

Glenn and I met at a mutual friends’ house one night 7 years ago. It was definitely love at first sight as we have never left each others’ side since and are still so blissfully happy as when we first met. Glenn proposed on Valentine’s Day 2007, 5 years later, at the Adelaide Botanical Gardens after a picnic lunch in lush surrounds with the background of flowing water. It was such a surprise and the most memorable experience of my life.

I was on an Oktoberfest tour in Germany and Ben was my tour guide. I thought he was very good looking and full of personality as I’m sure did most of the girls on the tour. We chatted on the bus home and he mentioned that he had moved out of his share house in London and needed a place to stay or “doss” (backpacker term). I offered my lounge room and he took me up on it and the relationship grew from there. We stayed in London a couple more years and then backpacked around USA, Canada and Sth America before heading home. Whilst in Peru in South America we decided to trek the Inca Trail. After five days of very little sleep, very little food and heaps of walking we reached machu picchu the famous Inca ruins. It was here at sunrise overlooking the ruins that Ben asked me to marry him. Exhausted as we were it was a beautiful proposal and of course I said yes!

A limousine, of course, makes the memorable occasion more special, especially since this adds a touch of elegance to the big day. Because of this, here are some tips that you should thing about before renting one.

Accessibility of the Limousine

One of the things the couple should think about is the availability of the limousine.

Knowing that the company will provide you your limousine on time saves you from a lot of tension and dissatisfaction.

State of the Limousine

This is another point to consider. You would want the limousine to be on its top shape. What this entails is that the car should be in running condition, and that the limousine should be very clean, inside and out. Your wedding day should be very perfect, and a messy gown caused by dirt or grimes on the car seat can put a damper on your big day.
