He loves cats. But never fear, a marriage can still work despite this\u00a0hairy conflict!<\/p>\n<p>Alexandra Macaulay, 28, says she \u201cnever expected\u201d to fall in love with one of her brother\u2019s mates. \u201cBut that\u2019s exactly what happened,\u201d explains Ally of Daniel Felkai, 33. \u201cAfter noticing each other over Dan\u2019s sister&#8217;s Facebook posts, Dan decided to crash a dinner catch up Vanessa and I had.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They bonded over a similar taste in YouTube videos, Monty Python quotes and Tom Lehrer songs, but quickly after realising their friendship had blossomed into love, Dan left for overseas to travel. \u201cWe spent the first 4 months of our proper relationship on opposite sides of the world &#8211; thank god for Skype,\u201d smiles Ally.<\/p>\n<p>A year later they were engaged and then married on September 21, 2013 at Belgenny Farm in Camden, NSW. Their farm wedding was rusticly-styled and celebrated on a clear spring day. \u201cIt was a perfect day full of love, happiness, tears, laughs and a lot of dancing and fun,\u201d says Ally.<\/p>\n<p>As for the cat\/dog issue\u2026 Ally says it\u2019s all good. \u201cWe love each other\u2019s differences, it balances us. Two little puzzle pieces that fit together, and are happiest when we are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of\u00a0<a title=\"Instill Photography\" href=\"http:\/\/instillphotography.com.au\/\"
