Our Story
Lee and Lacey would say they first met officially in Australia when they both set off backpacking or in Lacey’s case glampacking… (they did go to secondary school together, although Lacey will say she never saw Lee as he was always hiding out in the library🤣) They would both say they decided to go travelling to “find themselves” but ironically they found each other. The story starts, like most love stories in the 21st century with Lee sliding into Lacey’s “DMs” followed by a bit of Dutch courage at a house party in Melbourne, Victoria and they finally got to chatting. It wasn’t Lees charm that won Lacey over or his questionable floral shirts but instead it was his warmth & ability to make everyone in the room laugh that really sealed the deal. Lee will say he instantly fell for Lacey the moment he realised she was able to down a drink quicker than nearly every other person he’d met but really it was her kindness, infectious energy and natural instinct to put others before herself that made her truly stand out. And just like that they were making plans for the rest of their travels, but now together - little did they know these plans would stretch much further than their gap years. The days together rolled into weeks, months and then into years, when Lee decided to get down on one knee and ask Lacey to be his wife; her easiest YES to date. With the wedding planning, buying their first home and the biggest and best surprise of baby Terry making them a happy family of three, the last few years have been a rollercoaster - but there isn’t anyone they’d rather be on this crazy ride with. Finally the day is fast approaching where they become Mr & Mrs Clark and they’d really love to share the day with you ❤️
