Before we knew it \u2013 we were engaged,\u201d smiles Lizzi.<\/p>\n<p>They didn\u2019t waste any time with a long engagement, instead choosing to marry five months later on May 10, 2014 with a classic wedding. \u201cWe fell in love with <a title=\"Ballara Receptions\" href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/WeddingVenues\/Melbourne\/BallaraReceptions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Ballara Receptions<\/a> in Eltham the minute we arrived at the property,\u201d explains Lizzi. \u201cIt felt like home-away-from-home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Their day for 160 guests was simply styled with understated decorations and classic designs reflected in Lizzi\u2019s custom-made dress. \u201cMy dressmaker was Joel\u2019s aunty and mum who are professionals,\u201d says Lizzi. \u201cDressmaking runs in the family as Joel\u2019s Nona was a dressmaker, too, so to me it felt like I was capturing part of the family\u2019s history by having them involved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The pair headed to Hawaii for their honeymoon.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-60623\"
