The Love Story

Rose and Shawn's journey began at a real estate agency where they briefly met at a Christmas party in 2015. It wasn't until Rose transferred to Shawn's office in 2018 that their connection deepened. A shared love for beach walks with their pug, Pango, set the stage for a sweet proposal in Ocean Grove. As Shawn knelt down to retrieve his "lost" sock, he surprised Rose with a stunning ring, marking the beginning of their engagement.

Favourite Part of the Wedding Day

For Rose, the entire destination wedding was a dream come true. Combining the celebration with a holiday for friends and family created a joyous atmosphere. However, her favourite moment was walking into a seaside chapel with the picturesque blue ocean as the backdrop, where Shawn awaited her at the altar. The magic of the moment lingered in her memory.

Wedding Inspiration and Theme

With a vision of green and white tropical elegance, Rose and Shawn curated a wedding aesthetic that perfectly complemented the Fiji setting. The lush greenery and pristine white details created a tropical paradise that echoed their love for each other and the stunning surroundings.

The Bridesmaids

Jewellery Choice

For her wedding day, Rose chose the Olivia Pearl Earrings from Maison de Femmes.
