Delaney & Jared
Our Love Story
​
Delaney and Jared's story began at the Aireys pub, where Jared's friend Blake played the role of matchmaker, introducing them. Initially too intimidated to approach Delaney himself, Jared struck up a conversation, and the pair hit it off instantly. After a few months of dating, Jared asked Delaney to be his girlfriend, but his timing on April Fools' Day left Delaney initially skeptical, mistaking it for a joke. Nonetheless, their love story unfolded, with Jared proposing on another April Fools' Day, maintaining the humorous tradition. A year later, they exchanged vows on the same date, marking it as the most memorable day of their lives. Their journey together has seen them travel to Vanuatu and Europe, purchase their first home - currently undergoing renovations - and welcome their beloved boxer dogs, Lily and Dexter, into their lives.
The Day
Besides marrying her husband, Delaney found one of the most cherished moments of her wedding day in the gathering of their loved ones, all there to support and celebrate with them. Witnessing everyone mingling, laughing, and dancing together filled their hearts with joy and made the day truly special.
One highlight that stood out was the outfit change of Delaney's dad and father-in-law, a topic of conversation among guests throughout the day. Delaney recalls fondly the humorous remarks from her dad's friends, joking about his ability to last in a suit. Delaney herself joined in on the fun, revealing her and her mums own outfit changes - her mum donning a funky feather suit for dancing, while Delaney's layered tulle dress effortlessly transformed into a mini dress, allowing her to dance the night away without any hindrance.
Their celebrant, Jessie Belle, played a significant role in setting the tone for the day with her bubbly, loud, and funny personality, perfectly complementing Delaney and Jared's vibe. The couple instantly connected with her during the selection process, knowing she would bring an extra touch of joy to their ceremony.
Despite a minor mishap with Jared's suit getting a little roughed up during photos, as the groomsmen playfully tackled him, the day went off without a hitch. Getting ready together with the wedding party in one house added to the ease of the day, allowing the girls to prep together while keeping an eye on the boys to ensure they didn't get too rowdy before the ceremony.
