Bali wedding day to end.<\/p>\n<p>So before heading back to their bridal suite at Seminyak&#8217;s\u00a0Bali Mandira Resort, the Melbourne couple, aged 31 and 30 respectively, stretched out the celebrations with one last dip in the pool. \u201cI did not want the night to end so we invited the bridal party back to the private pool villa for a trash-the-dress,\u201d smiles Erin.<\/p>\n<p>The celebrations had already gone late into the night, with 70 loved ones in holiday-mode, laughing, dancing and joining together for a special\u00a0lantern release to mark the end of the nuptials.<\/p>\n<p>Erin, a makeup artist and Lucas, a concreter, had first spotted each other at their local pub but needed a &#8216;wingman&#8217; &#8211; aka Facebook &#8211; to brave the introductions. &#8220;We are so completely head over heels in love and have been since we first laid eyes on each other,&#8221; smiles Erin.<\/p>\n<p>They jetted\u00a0to <a title=\"Bali honeymoon packages\" href=\"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/honeymoon\/packages\/location\/bali\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Bali<\/a> for their destination wedding, held on May 13, 2015. &#8220;Our ceremony took place\u00a0at sunset on a balcony that overlooked the pristine beach,&#8221; recalls Erin. \u201cAfter exchanging our\u00a0vows, we made our way downstairs to the reception held in the garden by the pool, which was beautifully decorated with hanging lanterns and fresh flowers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople are still talking about our wedding,&#8221; says Erin. &#8220;We are planning to all return for our one-year anniversary.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a title=\"Diva for a Day\" href=\"http:\/\/www.divaforaday.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener
