Married at last - they waited almost 40 years!

What an amazing story - as young teenagers in the sixties Allan & Helene were a 'couple' until life and jobs intervened and they each went their separate ways.  Almost 8 years ago they met up again and discovered the old spark was still quietly burning and it didn't take a lot to fan it back into full blazing wonderful life again.  And so they married, under the very special giant old tree at Halfmoon Hideaway in Maleny before their closest family and friends.

Working with this couple was quite an amazing journey from many perspectives - not the least being, that as we got to know one another,  we discovered many mutual friends from years past so that by the day of the wedding if felt as though we were truly old friends!

Dear friends have been such an important part of their journey so it was quite wonderful that so many were engaged in different ways, as best suited their personalities, in the wedding ceremony.
With a movie theme - Helene dressed as, perhaps Lara,  from that great love story, Dr Zhivago,  escorted by Jadryn the alpacha,  and Allan stepped straight from the Blues Brothers via the open topped Morris Minor that he arrived in!   What a couple!  What a celebration!

Their ceremony was as unique as they are as a couple and as individuals.  This is a love story that has spanned the decades and finally the wheel has turned full circle and they are finally back in each other's arms, where they will stay for the rest of their lives.
Gillian from Halfmoon Hideaway was an absolute star offering help, assistance and good advice as they planned this most unique wedding ceremony and celebration.
Allan and Helene - seize each and every day!
