Danielle & Liam

High school sweetheart alert! Liam and Danni’s story began like any other—just two kids crossing paths waaaay back in 2002 at the Redcliffe Uniting Church playgroup. At only 5 and 6 years old, they had no idea of the incredible adventures that lay ahead, or that one day, they would be standing side by side as husband and wife! – Love at first sight right? Fast forward to 2009, when Liam and Danni began their high school journey at Clontarf Beach State High. It was here that their friendship truly blossomed, brought together by a shared passion for music and creative projects. Staying true to their personalities, Liam thrived behind the scenes as the man of sound and lighting, while Danni shone front and centre on stage as the leading lady. Their dynamic was the perfect harmony of talents, setting the foundation for a friendship that would grow into something much more. As the years passed, March of year 11 (2012) became a pivotal moment when Liam mustered the courage to ask Danni on their first date. Their destination? The beloved gathering spot for all Redcliffe locals—the Kippa-Ring movie theatres. After countless memorable milestones—ranging from high school graduations, university years, navigating full-time work, and embracing the adventures of adult life —2018 marked a new chapter for Liam and Danni. That year, they took the exciting step of moving into their first home together in Fitzgibbon. In March 2024, to celebrate their 12-year anniversary, Liam and Danni embarked on a breathtaking adventure aboard the Quantum of the Seas. Little did Danni know, an even bigger surprise awaited. On the 24th of March, Liam had meticulously planned a romantic helicopter ride over the secluded beaches of Whitsunday Island. With crystal-clear waters below, teeming with turtles and stingrays, the moment couldn’t have been more perfect. When the helicopter landed on the Whitsunday Island shores, Liam (finally) got down on one knee, pulling a carefully hidden ring from the back zipper pocket of his shorts. Overcome with emotion, Danni burst into tears, so moved that she forgot to answer! After a few heartfelt moments passed, Liam gently nudged her with, "So... is that a yes?". Of course it was a yes! The custom-made ring fit perfectly, and Danni couldn’t contain her joy as she raced up and down the beach, exclaiming, “I’m engaged!” The toughest part was keeping the news a secret until they got home, where they could definitively share it with family and friends. “Finally!” was a word that echoed through the celebration – And here we are! As we prepare to become husband and wife, surrounded by our loved ones, we reflect on the journey that brought us together - every moment has woven our story into something beautiful. This day marks not just our union but the beginning of a lifetime of adventures, love, and cherished memories. We are so grateful to have each of you here to celebrate this next chapter in our lives, and we can't wait to see what the future holds as we continue to write our story together. Thank you for being a part of our love story!

Meet our lovely friends who will by our side on the big day.

If you plan to book accommodation on the Gold Coast for this event and have opted to take the bus, we strongly recommend choosing a place to stay within walking distance of 55 Surf Parade, Broadbeach, the designated pickup and drop-off location (directly behind the Meriton, Broadbeach). Accommodation is expected to fill quickly, as the weekend coincides with the King’s Birthday long weekend and the football finals. To avoid disappointment, we encourage you to secure your booking as soon as possible. MOBILE HAIR AND MAKEUP ARTIST MEMO Ladies! Since our wedding falls on the King’s Birthday long weekend and is on a Sunday, booking a salon for hair and makeup may be tricky. If you'd like professional styling, we highly recommend hiring a mobile hair and makeup artist to come straight to your hotel (or house if your driving down on the day).

We are incredibly grateful for the love and support from each of our cherished guests as we prepare to celebrate this special day. We understand that attending this wedding may come with various commitments, whether it be adhering to the dress code or making the journey to be with us. Please know that your presence is the most wonderful gift we could ever ask for, and we have no expectations beyond that. However, for those who feel inclined to contribute to our future together, we would be deeply touched by a monetary gift. Your kindness will help us as we embark on the next chapter of our lives, and we appreciate your generosity from the bottom of our hearts.

An unplugged ceremony is one where guests put away phones, cameras, and other devices so everyone can be fully present in the moment. Now, let’s get straight to the point: please put them away! To avoid any misunderstandings, we’ve decided to have a completely unplugged ceremony. We kindly but firmly request that all phones, cameras, and other devices are switched off and kept out of sight. This moment is incredibly special to us, and we want everyone to share it with us without distractions—or screens in the way of our photographers. We trust that everyone will respect this simple request.

Once the ceremony concludes and the celebrations are in full swing, we warmly invite you to capture as many beautiful memories as you’d like! We hope you’ll take photos, celebrate, and treasure these special moments with us. That said, we kindly ask for a small favour: please hold off on sharing any photos on social media until we’ve had the chance to post first. This day is incredibly meaningful to us, and we’d love the opportunity to savour it privately before sharing it with the wider world. Your understanding and support mean the world to us, and we can’t wait to see the amazing memories you’ve captured when the time is right!
