Audrey + Ryan

“Jam was incredibly professional, positive and exactly what my partner and I wanted out of a ceremony - an uplifting celebration of our love!
We had spent over two years trying to find the right fit and Jam was nothing short of the best, she was responsive, switched on and a joy to work with.
I loved that on the day, she wore boots from the art festival where my partner and I first got together. Amazing attention to detail.”

Audrey and Ryan are the couple that simply radiates LOVE!

These two sweethearts had originally wanted their good mate Chloe to take the celebrant course and do the honours in marrying them. But when life got in the way Chloe reached out to me to help this couple of legends in officially tying the knot over the border in Corowa NSW. I was totally down for this interstate road trip ceremony!

From our first meeting I knew immediately that Audrey and Ryan are my kinda people. Their mix of epic fun loving vibes with a keen taste for the good things in life meant that their ceremony will surely be NEXT LEVEL AWESOME! They had also enlisted a stella line up of vendors and suppliers to help add to their ultimate celebration of love.

Ryan and Audrey met as work colleagues. They then became best friends who found any excuse to hang out together, multiple times a week. It wasn’t until Ryan went on a trip overseas that they came to accept the fact that they are indeed in love with each other and can not imagine doing life without each other.

Ryan then likes to describe their love playing out in Acts, like some great melodrama serial.

Act 1 being from the time before they moved in together. They were living a secret double life, hiding their relationship from work colleagues, and realising that they were spending an unhealthy amount of time together at work and after work.

Act 2 encompasses them moving in together and getting engaged. It is a time filled with fun and positive memories, but this was also a time where Audrey had multiple bouts of sickness. For Ryan there was some real scary moments. He witnessed Audrey pulling through even if she hid the stress and pain from everyone. Her resilience and appreciation for the silly and small things in life put everything into perspective for Ryan. It really demonstrated just how incredibly special it is to have Audrey in his life.

Act 3 we have the COVID times. Even during the most isolating time in modern day history. These two lovers realised that they got lucky when they got locked down with their very best friend in the world.

Act 4 the now and forever. Ryan plays out the moment where he returns after being away overseas for 2 months and Audrey welcomes him home with a homemade degustation of his favourite foods and snacks including an AI person reading out a monologue of his European journey. A perfect example of the effort and lengths they’d go to for each other for the lols as well as to show each other just how much they care.

I loved hearing their story of how Audrey booked a ticket to join Ryan at Dark MOFO festival down at MONA in Tassie, it was where they ended up sharing their first cheeky pash. Ryan then arranged to propose to Audrey upon the Posh Pit cruise back from Dark MOFO 2 years later. So come the day of their ceremony I chucked on my Dark MOFO Blundstone boots, bought during them COVID lockdown times, knowing that they’d be the perfect ceremony boots. I didn’t even think the soon to be newlyweds would even notice, being their wedding day and all. But they did, and expressed how they loved the tie in detail.

And that’s the kinda people they are, they take note in the small things and make an effort in appreciating it and those around them. It was a real joy to be a part of their day and to be amongst all their loved ones who were lucky enough to witness and experience the powerful love shared between Audrey and Ryan.
So many feels and just the best vibes all round!
