How we met:
Shurjo and i met through friends and he asked me out for dinner. On our first date Shurjo brought me chocolates, opened the car door, halved the last scallop and then paid for my taxi home like a true gentleman. After one month he told me i was the one, with a very romantic evening planned. Three years later, we married on our aniversary.Did your wedding have a particular theme or a particular style?
I was after a romantic, sophisticated and elegant with the wow factor to it. The focus was more on a traditional wedding than a modern one. Ceremony location: St marys Anglican Chuch, Waverley, 240 Birrel Street , Waverly At 1:30pm Friday 24th julyhttp://www.stmaryswaverley.org.au/
