Walking down the aisle with her dad at Sirromet was something Hannah wasn’t sure would be possible in the lead up to her wedding, and it became her most memorable moment.
“Dad had a stroke late last year and we nearly lost him. As someone who used to be so independent and strong, it was a very dark and hard time for us all. We weren’t sure if he would be able to make it to Australia and unbeknownst to me, he made it a goal to be well enough in order to get the hospital’s permission to fly here. He also practiced walking with the physio every day and declined his cane during the processional because in his words – “He wanted to proudly walk me down the aisle without aid”. I tear up even as I write this now. We were both so emotional and it was truly one of the best moments of the day.”
Hannah and Ker-Ming’s Sirromet wedding was just as beautiful as it was soulful. These two threw out the rulebook and crafted their day to be exactly the way they wanted it to be. Mixing non-traditional elements (such as a first look) with traditional cultural elements (a mini tea ceremony and Hannahs’ hanbok she wore at the reception, the day was uniquely theirs “Honestly, there is nothing that we regret. We’re so glad everything went well and that we stuck with our guns on all the elements we wanted for the day. As cliche as it sounds, our wedding was truly one of the best days of our lives.”
They added personal touches to their Sirromet Ceremony and reception to create their clean and classic vibe “Florals were also really important to us and we chose garden roses that had the most amazing perfume nestled in grey foliage.”
“The funniest moment of the night was a bit of a sneaky one; Ker-Ming knows how terrified I am of being the center of attention so he kept on whispering jokes into my ear throughout the whole first dance. Unfortunately, it made me even more nervous and made me trip more!”
Hannah’s advice for brides? “The best advice we received would have to be – (Pardon the french but) Sh*t happens and you have to just relax and go with the flow. Weddings are hard but it’s all worth it 🙂 Oh and make sure to choose a really good photographer!”
