Lisa
Aaron
We are getting married!
Saturday 27 April 2024
Our Story
Lisa was introduced to Aaron in 2013 through mutual friends from her high school. 6 months later they bumped into each other as Lisa finished work. After a long conversation in the IGA car park, they exchanged numbers. 2 months later, during a drive in his beloved 2 door 318i BMW, Aaron asked Lisa to be his girlfriend, and the rest is history!
Over the past 10 years of love and friendship, Lisa and Aaron have celebrated all the ups and downs of life together, including becoming parents to their wonderful son Nate, the loss of their grandparents, countless race meetings and travelling internationally for the first time together.
We are certain this love is for life, so now we are making it official!
