Cottesloe Arch Monument wedding overlooking Cottesloe Beach

Carly and Steven at the Indiana Tea House

Carly and Steven invited a few of their close family and friends for an intimate yet casual wedding ceremony just before lunch at the Cottesloe Arch Monument in Perth. It was a beautiful Autumn day in Perth with great views over the Indian ocean as a backdrop.

The Wedding Celebrant told stories of how Steven and Carly met at Kmart and how they began their family togther with their Pup Bruza and today where deciding to live their lives together as husband and wife.

Although the ceremony was fun with a few laughs Carly and Steven chose some special vows to say to each other:

Signing the documents

I promise to love and care for you,

To trust you and be honest with you,

To stand by you whatever the future may bring. 

Carly and Steven are both very fond of animals so they decided to have a Dove Release ceremony as well:

Dove Poem:

Two doves meeting in the sky
Two loves hand in hand, eye to eye
Two parts of a loving whole
Two hearts and a single soul

Carly and Steven “the kiss”

Two Doves gliding in the air
Two loves free without a care
Two parts of a loving whole
Two hearts and a single soul

After the ceremony Carly and Steven had some wonderful photos on Cottesloe beach with David their wedding photographer and then joined their guests for the wedding celebration at the Indiana Tea House in Cottesloe.
