Our Story
We first met in the winter of 2009, not in a crowded bar, but through that most modern of meeting places; an online dating site.
Just weeks before Alex’s 40th birthday, we started chatting online, and before long the messages were flying (along with a few sparks). As the birthday approached, a meeting seemed inevitable. With his calendar filling up, the only option was the actual day of Alex's 40th. Trish promised to buy Alex a birthday drink if a meeting could be arranged. "Let's meet at Lily Black's for one drink!". It was meant to be a quick, low‑key drink before Trish went to a MIFF film and Alex off to his dance class... but it quickly felt like something special.
Our second and third dates were Ceroc dance classes. It was the perfect "meet-cute" opportunity to check each other out and get a bit hands on. It went so well we’ve been dancing together ever since.
Fast‑forward to Healesville, 2018. Over wine, laughter, and one slightly dorky proposal, Trish smiled and, of course, said “yes”. After years of travel, mischief, bad jokes, good dinners, and plenty more adventures, we’re thrilled to be celebrating our big day surrounded by our favourite people.
Let's do this!
