How They Met

In a world where dating apps have become the modern-day cupid, Megan and Jimmy’s romantic story took flight with a simple swipe right. Little did they know that this fateful connection would lead to a love that transcended time and distance. Megan, a young nurse, and Jimmy, a handsome gentleman, began their journey of cheeky banter and fun-filled conversations that lasted late into the night.

Their love story was not without its ups and downs, as a few days of silence followed their initial chat. But fate had other plans, and Megan decided to give Jimmy another chance. The competitive spark between them ignited, and they became inseparable, especially during the challenging days of lockdown when they became ISO buddies.

The Proposal

Fast forward to a picturesque birthday celebration in New Zealand, Megan’s surprise gift to Jimmy. Little did she know that the day would be filled with an even bigger surprise – a proposal! With the stunning backdrop of Coronet Peak ski field and the excitement of horseback riding through the mountains, Jimmy seized the perfect moment to ask Megan to be his forever. Amidst tears and joy, she said “of course I will,” and their love story reached a beautiful milestone.

All The Details of Megan & Jimmy’s Wedding

When it came to planning their wedding, Megan and Jimmy knew they wanted a celebration that reflected their personalities – fun, vibrant, and intimate. They fell head over heels for Pietro Gallus Estate, a venue that offered a Tuscan countryside ambiance and a menu that represented their favorite foods. With 50 guests, comprising immediate family members and close friends, the couple ensured the wedding felt warm and personal.

The day itself was a collection of unforgettable moments. A ‘first look’ allowed them to share a private and intimate moment before the ceremony, alleviating pre-wedding jitters and letting them spend more time with their guests. The personalized photo cards used as place cards, incorporating images of Megan, Jimmy, and their beloved dogs, brought a unique touch to the table settings.

The couple’s childhood nostalgia was also woven into their special day with Yowie chocolates, a nod to their treasured childhood collections. And let’s not forget their first dance, a beautifully choreographed mashup that showcased their creativity and love for each other.

Megan and Jimmy couldn’t praise their vendors enough, with Courtney, their photographer, capturing the most precious moments and delivering the images quickly. The perfect fit for the theme, Alyce Bailey, their celebrant and MC, ensured the day ran seamlessly.

Advice to Future Couples

For future couples planning their own weddings, Megan and Jimmy offer some valuable advice. First and foremost, plan the day to reflect your personalities and desires, not anyone else’s expectations. Whether it’s vibrant flowers, an intimate guest list, or trying a ‘first look,’ follow your heart. They also recommend having a videographer to relive the special moments, including vows, speeches, and dances.

Megan and Jimmy’s love story reminds us that sometimes, the best romantic adventures begin with a simple swipe and a spark of curiosity.
