Our Love Story
Our journey together began in April 2018 at a mutual friend's birthday dinner, where a spark was ignited that neither of us could ignore. From that fateful evening, we discovered a deep connection that grew stronger. By August 2019, we officially started dating, and our love story truly began.
In February 2021, we took a significant step by purchasing our first home, a place where we would build countless memories together. Just two months later, on April 9, 2021, our lives were forever changed with the arrival of our first child, Archer. His birth brought us even closer, and he has filled our lives with immeasurable joy.
Archer was welcomed into a loving family with his brothers, Harrison and Fletcher, who have embraced him with open arms. Our home is now a lively and loving space, filled with laughter, adventure, and the occasional chaos of a growing family.
As we prepare to say "I do," we reflect on the beautiful path we've traveled together and eagerly anticipate the many chapters yet to come. Thank you for being a part of our story and celebrating this next exciting chapter with us.
Wedding Party
Meet our lovely family and friends who will by the side of the bride and groom on the big day.
Casie
Casie has been Rachel’s best friend since they were five years old, and they’ve shared every big moment together since then. From childhood memories to major life milestones, Casie has always been by Rachel’s side. Now, as her Maid of Honour, Casie is ready to help make Rachel's wedding day as special as all the moments they’ve shared. Her loyalty, laughter, and endless support make her the perfect choice for this unforgettable role.
Nikki
Nikki is not only Rachel's sister but her closest friend and confidante. She’s always been there for Rachel, sharing in life’s joys and challenges with love and laughter. Nikki is also an incredible "second mum" to Rachel's three boys, showering them with affection and being the absolute best auntie. Her warmth, strength, and unwavering support make her an essential part of Rachel's big day, and there’s no one Rachel would rather have by her side as a bridesmaid.
Monique
Monique holds a truly special place in Rachel and Diego’s story. Not only has she been Rachel’s friend since kindergarten, but she also played the role of matchmaker, bringing Rachel and Diego together. Her deep friendship with both the bride and groom makes her a cherished part of their lives and the perfect bridesmaid for their big day. Monique’s love, support, and knack for bringing people together make her an unforgettable part of this celebration.
Kate
Kate and Rachel have been friends since kindergarten, sharing countless memories and life’s big milestones. Through every chapter, Kate has been there with unwavering support and laughter. As a bridesmaid, she brings years of friendship, joy, and loyalty to Rachel’s special day, making this celebration even more meaningful.
Steve
Steve has been Diego’s partner-in-crime for many years. They’ve shared countless weekends together, especially in the early days when they first started hitting up Etta Memorial Club. From those wild nights to unforgettable adventures over the years, they’ve built a bond that only grows stronger with time. Diego was honoured to stand by Steve’s side as his best man on his wedding day, and he's beyond grateful that Steve will be by his.
Aiden
Aiden and Diego have been friends since school, from house parties to club nights, they've been through it all. They’ve hit up countless festivals together, always ready for a good time and never missing a chance to keep the party going. Aiden hasn’t just been a great friend—he’s probably saved Diego’s life more than once, too. Diego is thrilled to have Aiden as a groomsman, and he knows they’ll continue making memories for years to come.
Leigh
Diego met Leigh through a mutual friend, and they hit it off right away—thanks to their shared love for the occasional late night. Since then, they’ve spent countless nights in Crows Nest, savoring their Friday night conversations over BYO wine dinners that often led to hungover Sundays. It’s been a blast for Diego to have Leigh as a friend, and he’s thrilled to have him by his side as a groomsman on this special day.
Jay
Diego and Jay have been friends for years, ever since Diego first met Jay’s brother, Mitch, back in school. But it was their trip to the US together that really turned them into bros. They’ve shared unforgettable adventures with stories everyone has probably heard a hundred times by now! No matter where life has taken them, Jay has always been there, and Diego is thrilled to have him as a groomsman.
