Well, here's what I know of their story! A nice, sweet story
Their parents had known each other for years, but Jethro and Anna didn't actually meet until a SU Youth camp, and Jethro was pretty impressed with what he saw - a story was told at the reception that his friend was using his phone and saw on the contacts list: "Anna (HOT!)"
Eventually, he asked her out, and of course, she said yes. He finished school and moved to her town, an hour or so south of Cairns, to work on a banana farm with her and lived with her family. The next year, they moved to Brisbane so she could go to uni while he continued to work to help pay for costs.
On one trip north back home, approximately 18 mths ago, Jethro took her to the beach where he asked her out and proposed to her. The next 18 mths were spent saving and working very hard to do so... during which Ben and I got together, engaged, married and pregnant
The day went perfectly! Bride was only a few minutes late, coz like me, was on time, but waited to let the slow pokes get in! It was held outside in the gardens of a resort, with the reception in the beautiful function room inside. The speeches were absolutely hilarious, so much better than those at ours! (sorry Riss, but so true) And there were lots of tears, especially when the MOH did her's and when Anna thanked her MOH (sisters) in her speech... they could barely get anything out! And Ben and Jethro were also in tears at points when referring to each other, which was so sweet!!
The happy couple are now off to Tasmania (where Ben and I went) for a couple of weeks, and boy are they going to get a cold shock, going from the tropical north, to snow on the mountains!
Bridesmaid's dresses - made by Anna's mum. The bouquets reminded us of fruit, with the different coloured roses!
A $5000 dress, down to $500 because of a broken zip
With a dressmaker for a mum, no problem there for Anna!
Their dads (her's on the left, his with the mike) shared the ceremony - her's doing the official parts, his doing the "mushy" parts. Ben's the best man - the front groomsman.
Cutting the cube-shaped cake! Also a good shot of the bridesmaids' bouquets!

Happy mummy!
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body.
