href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/WeddingVenues\/YarraValley\/Zonzo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Zonzo<\/a> at Train Track Wines in the Yarra Valley, they didn\u2019t quite realise why until later.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had gone on one of our first dates there five years earlier during Grape Grazing [Festival],\u201d says Melbourne bride Jessica, 32. \u201cWe didn\u2019t recognise it until we got there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The venue\u2019s country charm and renowned Italian cuisine, including sensational wood fire pizzas, allowed the lecturer and carpenter, 31, to keep things simple when it came to their rustic wedding on February 1, 2014.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Food and wine are very important to both of us,&#8221; says Jessica. &#8220;So we decided to have a cocktail reception where our [165] guests could enjoy a variety of canap\u00e9s as well as the local wine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Arriving to the outdoor ceremony by impressive <a title=\"Caddyman Cadillac Care

seven years ago when he did an extension on her house,&#8221; explains Jessica.<\/p>\n<p>Trying hard not to \u201cget too bogged down with the theme&#8221;, Jessica says their colour palette was a fresh mix of navy, yellow and green, represented in a macaron tower and lolly buffet which she designed herself.<\/p>\n<p>The relaxed celebration led to a luxury honeymoon on Caribbean cruise liner, Oasis of the Seas &#8211; the world&#8217;s biggest cruise ship.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"line-height: 1.428571429;\" alt=\"Jessica_Reuben_Rustic-Wedding_006\"
