It All Started With Ralph Lauren: A Romance of Everyone’s Dream
In 2016, amid the polished racks of Ralph Lauren, Adele and Andrew met as colleagues, friends first, then something more. Fast-paced banter, secret smiles, and shared dreams? Check, check, and check. Ten years later, that office flirtation bloomed into the kind of love story even Hollywood envies.
The way it all began makes their wedding day feel even more magical because the best love stories start with friendship. Everyone loves a friends to lovers trope.
This is What A Gentleman’s Proposal Looks Like
Picture this: Adele thinks she’s headed to a mate’s pre-wedding dinner. Little did she know, Andrew had every detail locked down from the decoy invite to the city lookout draped in fairy lights. Cue her favourite song, a 360° cityscape, and him dropping to one knee. But wait he’d also flown in her entire family for the after-party surprise. Talk about overachieving in the romance department.The proposal was nothing short of a dream.
.Emotional, personal, and perfectly orchestrated, it was a proposal that mirrored their love: intentional and overflowing with heart.
Talk About a Perfect Wedding: Fashion, Faith, & Feels
On April 11, 2025, Adele and Andrew tied the knot in a breathtaking ceremony at St Ignatius Church in Melbourne. Ten years in the making, it was the kind of day that perfectly honored their journey.
The church echoed with the sounds of a live string quartet as the couple exchanged heartfelt vows, surrounded by the people who mattered most. The moment was both reverent and electric filled with emotion, beauty, and love.
After the “I dos,” the party migrated to Metropolis, 250 of their closest friends, and family. Couture met confetti, tears met toasts, and everyone’s Instagram was set ablaze.
Adele stunned in a custom J’Aton Couture gown, a sculptural masterpiece crafted from Italian silk, with hand-placed draping, an architectural corset, and a voluminous skirt that moved like poetry. Meanwhile, Andrew wore a sleek P. Johnson custom suit and, in a unique twist, and he personally designed the bridesmaids’ dresses – each one bespoke, refined, and aligned with their shared vision.
The First Dance, We All Deserve
Among all the unforgettable moments, the couple’s first dance stood above the rest. Set to a song dear to their hearts, it was a pause in time – a tender, twinkling moment where the world melted away, and it was just the two of them.
“It felt like a bubble of love,” Adele said. “We were surrounded by so much joy, but in that moment, it felt completely still, like the world was holding its breath just for us.”
A Luxury Wedding That Was Purely Theirs
What made Adele and Andrew’s wedding truly unique wasn’t just the style (though the fashion was unforgettable), it was the intentionality. Every detail was chosen with meaning. Every element whispered of their story.
From Andrew’s hands-on involvement in the fashion to the family-honouring traditions woven into the ceremony, the wedding was personal in every sense. “It had to feel like us,” they said. “Not just beautiful, but deeply ours.”
Their love of fashion, family, and heartfelt celebration came together to create a wedding that wasn’t just luxurious, it was emotionally rich, creatively personal, and designed to leave a lasting impression.
The Wedding That Set The Standard
Sure, the fashion was couture-level spectacular. But what made it iconic? The intention behind every detail. From Andrew’s hands-on styling to ceremonies honoring family traditions, every moment screamed “A&A.”
From the timeless romance of St Ignatius to the glittering reception at Metropolis, this wedding was proof: when your story is this special, your celebration should be too.
