ANGE + ANDREW – Beneath the Branches

ANGE + ANDREW – Beneath the Branches

January 18, 2020

By Julie Butt, Marriage Celebrant

‘We are loved by an unending love.

Embraced, touched, soothed, and counselled,

We are loved by an unending love.’

From the first day I met Ange and Andrew in 2018 in a small country town, I felt so comfortable with them. They were genuine, devoted to one another and clearly incredibly happy together.  Each time I met with them or spoke to them I had a warm feeling inside that this was going to be a great wedding.  And it was ……………

A late afternoon summer breeze lifted Ange’s veil as she walked between the rows of olive trees, arm in arm with her parents, to meet and stand beside the love of her life. Brandy Creek Estate, a small vineyard and winery, was the setting for their wedding in the picturesque rolling hills of Drouin where they were surrounded by their loving family and friends.

Local Gippsland songbird, Emily Murdica, sang and played acoustic guitar before, during and after the ceremony. Her voice was beautiful and set the scene perfectly for such an incredible day.

Ange looked incredible in her strapless gown; she was radiant with joy and her smiles created those perfect happy moments which are simply unforgettable. From the moment Ange approached, Andrew’s gaze never left her.  Beneath the shelter of an ancient eucalyptus tree, they made their personal vows to one another; a few tears were shed by more than one person that day.  

Absolutely everyone from the large group attending were there to encourage and support Ange and Andrew. Cones of fresh rose petals were joyfully scattered amongst them after the ceremony. They had been handed around by the delightful pageboy and sweet flower-girl as Ange and Andrew signed their marriage certificates.

It was an incredibly beautiful day, just right for a ‘just right’ couple.  Congratulations Ange and Andrew xx
