WHY I LOVE AMY | “I love her character, her spirit and her nature. She is a good person, a caring person and a loyal person. She enjoys life and that enjoyment is infectious; when you're around her you can't help but feel it. She's just lovely.”
WHY I LOVE TOM | “Tom is a real salt of the earth kind of guy who truly values family. He treats everyone with dignity and respect and is an old-fashioned gentleman at heart. He always lets me walk through a door first, holds my hand when we walk, takes the path closest to the road to protect me, and makes me a tea every morning and night, the list goes on! He’s one of a kind and he’s living proof that chivalry isn’t dead. He accepts me for me.”
OUR STORY | Amy and Tom first met at an engagement party. “Tom knew the groom and I knew the bride. We were seated across from each other at the table and got chatting over dinner. When the night’s festivities came to an end, Tom offered to walk me home. He gave me his business card, so I thought I’d send him a message the next day. He responded pretty quickly and before we knew it 3 weeks later we were official!”
NOTED, MY LOVE | Since the early stages of their relationship Amy and Tom would leave each other Post-it notes as little surprises. “Tom’s proposal caught me completely off guard. I was cooking dinner when I noticed a sticky note on the bench. This isn’t uncommon so I didn’t think much of it. However it turned into a whole trail of sticky notes around the house. The last note told me to head to the lounge room, where Tom was on one knee with his grandmother’s engagement ring in hand. Everything else after that is a blur, but apparently I said ‘Yes!’ pretty quickly. We spent the rest of the evening calling everyone to share the exciting news. The proposal was quite timely, as we had a long weekend full of catch-ups with close family and friends planned, which turned in a three-day celebration of our exciting news.”
