Australia’s very own lovebirds, Monique and Justin, made the decision to go back to Justin’s roots for their special day. The couple picked the Otocec Castle in Slovenia, in order to honour his mother’s Slovenian nationality. Monique and Justin’s wedding day resembles a romantic fairytale, having occurred in a hidden castle and far-far away from buzzing cities.

Both the ceremony and reception can only be described as beautifully intimate, relaxed and full of love and discovery. With 31 guests both from Australia and Slovenia, the gorgeous couple said “I do” in a garden ceremony behind the castle.

The Otocec Castle is beautifully set on a tiny island on the shallow running river Krka. Scroll through for the incredible images, Fairies!
