Five years ago, two cops met on a training course at work & told everyone they were ‘just friends’. Last weekend, in front of many of those same people, Steph & Rob finally had to retire that story for good.
Their wedding took us from St Peter Chanel Catholic Church in Woolwich to Angelo’s Cabarita, with Sydney serving up intermittent rain & some ridiculously moody skies in between. And when the rain cleared at exactly the right moments, we absolutely made the most of them - including that skyline doing its thing across the harbour. Throw in a London cab for transport & there was plenty of character to this one before we’d even made it to the reception.
And then there was Rob’s brother on MC duties, who had more tricks up his sleeve than a seasoned magician. Having the inside scoop of literally being the groom’s brother meant everything he’d organised was incredibly personal to them - including a slideshow of recorded messages from their loved ones & three surprise cameos from actors from Rob’s favourite show, Blue Heelers, including John Wood & Martin Sacks.
But I think my favourite little thread through the whole thing was that original ‘just friends from work’ story making its way into the reception. Five years, one wedding & photographic evidence later… I don’t think anyone’s buying it anymore.
A few frames from Steph & Rob’s Sydney wedding.
