REGISTRY
There is no greater gift than having you coming from far and wide to celebrate with us on our special day. We appreciate that as a “destination wedding” most people have travelled interstate, or from overseas, to be with us, so your attendance is truly the best gift of all.
If you feel you absolutely must give us a gift, you could make a contribution towards some artwork, as we’re saving up for a David Bromley piece. We’ll have a Wishing Well at the reception where you can place cards on the day.
HOW WE MET
Joel and Tamara met in 2017 when they were working for the same company. Joel lived in Sydney, and Tamara lived in Melbourne, so they found themselves in a long distance relationship which lasted for 18 months. They both travelled a LOT during this time so they could be together, spending a collective 40% of their time interstate.
WE FELL IN LOVE
Tamara and Joel practised an open and judgement-free relationship from the very start, which allowed them to build a strong foundation of trust, and unconditional love, which deepened over time. The pivotal moment happened whilst they were on a walk through Sydney’s Royal National Park, and led to Tamara relocating to Sydney in January 2019.
THE PROPOSAL
Joel proposed to Tamara in November 2021, after the 5 month lockdown in Sydney. Joel planned a surprise night away at Sydney’s Park Hyatt, and after an amazing dinner at Aria, he proposed on the balcony of their room, singing an acoustic cover, overlooking Sydney Opera House. Tamara was so excited she screamed YES! before Joel had even got the ring out!
CAPTURED MOMENTS...
THE BRIDAL PARTY
BRIDESMAIDS
Alison Quinn
Maid of Honour
Ally and Tamara have been friends since they met at Bond University in 2012. She lives on the Gold Coast with her husband Rhys and beautiful daughter Emilia who will turn one a few days before our wedding. Ally works at realestate.com, loves to travel, and always looks stunning head to toe.
Elena Hewett
Bridesmaid
El is originally from NZ, and moved to Australia in 2018 after living in Canada. The girls met when they were both new to Sydney, and enjoy surfing together. El has a beautiful calming energy, and is one of the most supportive and caring friends Tamara has ever had.
Biama Nona
Bridesmaid
Biama and Tamara have been friends since University, and Tamara considers Biama to be the little sister she never had. Biama lives on the Sunshine Coast with her fiance Te Aro, and when she isn’t busy recruiting for Atlassian, you’ll find her making Pinterest boards for home renovation.
GROOMSMEN
Sam Norton
Best Man
Sam and Joel have known each other since 2018 when Joel started working with Sam as a coach, and became a real confidente and support to both Joel and Tamara during a difficult time. Sam joined Joel, Tamara and Marion (Tamara’s mother) in the Oxfam Trailwalker event in 2018, walking 100km in 36 hours.
Oliver Rees
Groomsman
Olly and Joel worked together in the late nineties, and again about 15 years later. Olly has great energy, and loves a laugh, usually at Joel’s expense. Now semi-retired, he works part-time with Velocity, and spends the rest of his time flying, sailing and cycling around the world living the dream.
Jeroa Swan
Groomsman
Jeroa is Joel’s half-brother, and lives in Perth with his partner Libby. He enjoys working out, as well as listening to live music. Joel and Jeroa met for the first time in April this year, when Jeroa attended the Byron Bay Blues Fest, after a few failed attempts due to lockdowns and border closures.
FLOWER GIRLS & RING BEARER
Emma Richey
Flower Girl
Emma is Tamara’s niece, daughter to Sarah and John Richey, and sister to our ring bearer Jack Richey. She loves anything and everything to do with unicorns. When she grows up she wants to be a mumma, and a unicorn, and has a very independent spirit!
Rosie Lau
Flower Girl
Rosie is the daughter of our friends Erik and Sarah. Rosie loves chocolate, pasta bake and nature. When she isn't saving the planet she's drawing, and reading. When she grows up she wants to build a place with her friends where they can care for animals.
Jack Richey
Ring Bearer
Jack is Tamara’s nephew, and is the older brother to our flower girl Emma. When he grows up, Jack wants to be a professional fisherman just like his Dad, John. Jack loves superheroes and Lego, and if there are monkey bars around, you’ll find him hanging around.
