Megan + Hayden's Colourful Garden Party Wedding
Some love stories start with a spark, and some... start with a mini golf date. Megan and Hayden met on Bumble in October 2019, with Megan living in Wodonga and Hayden in Melbourne. Their first date? Mini golf and dinner. Their second? Dumplings. And then? Well, a little thing called lockdown happened, leading to endless Netflix marathons and a fair share of random DIY projects.
Fast forward to a trip with friends in Bali, where Hayden had grand plans to propose on the beach at sunset at Megan's favourite restaurant. But, plot twist—everyone got hit with the flu. So, instead of a grand beach proposal, Hayden popped the question in the villa, just the two of them. And honestly? It was perfect.
Now, let's talk about their wedding day—because WOW, it was something special! It was packed with colour, laughter, and a whole lot of fun.
The day kicked off with everyone getting ready together at a stunning Airbnb. No separate rooms or nerves, just relaxed vibes all around. Megan and Hayden decided to do things a little differently—first looks and bridal party portraits BEFORE the ceremony. And can we just say, genius move! Less pressure, more fun, and plenty of time to soak it all in.
One of the most touching moments? Megan visited her grandparents' house to recreate a portrait her mum had taken on her own wedding day. Spending those few precious minutes with her grandpa, who was beyond chuffed to see her in her dress, was absolutely priceless.
Megan and Hayden wanted their wedding to feel like a laid-back garden party, and they nailed it. Think lawn games everywhere, drinks flowing (including some seriously delicious cocktails), and a reception that was nothing short of epic.
Food-wise, roving canapés kept everyone happily munching throughout the evening—no one was left hungry! And the music? DJ tubbzmix absolutely brought the party to life, keeping the dance floor packed all night long.
Oh, and the highlight of the reception? A hilarious skit from Hayden's family that retold the couple's love story, complete with all the twists and turns. The crowd was roaring with laughter, and it was such a fun way to celebrate their journey together.
Megan and Hayden's wedding was the perfect blend of heartfelt moments and pure fun. From their colourful decor to their chilled-out approach to the day, it was a true reflection of their love story—unique, full of joy, and just the right amount of quirky.
Congratulations again, Megan and Hayden! Your day was an absolute blast, and we're so glad we could be part of it. Cheers to a lifetime of more mini golf dates, dumpling nights, and spontaneous adventures!
