What began as a regular Saturday with beach plans and pups turned into a life-changing moment for Jaime-Lee. With their two fur babies bounding through the sand dunes, Corey dropped to one knee and asked her to spend forever together—after secretly getting her dad’s blessing that same morning. From that unexpected and joy-filled proposal to planning a dream wedding while building and moving into a new home (all in just 10 months!), Jaime-Lee & Corey poured their hearts into every detail. When they walked through Enzo Hunter Valley, they instantly knew it was the one—especially after Corey turned to her in the car and said, “I can see us getting married there.” And what a celebration it turned out to be: from emotional vows and surprise first dances to personalised tambourines, wild dance floor moments, and even a dunk-tank-style wedding quiz! This is the story of their elegant, emotional, and wildly fun vineyard wedding—and the epic party they’ll never forget.
THE PROPOSAL: “It was a normal Saturday where Corey and I would generally do our Saturday house clean, and then see where else the day would take us. Corey suggested we take the dogs out onto the beach for the day, because our youngest dog hadn’t been on the beach before. Prior to heading onto the beach, Corey had to ‘run some errands’ (little did I know, this was to ask my Dad’s permission to marry me). Eventually, we got out onto the beach and enjoyed running up and down the dunes with our two puppies. Before I knew it, tangled up with our fur babies, Corey got down on one knee and asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. It was a totally unexpected and incredible moment, that I will cherish forever!”
THE VENUE: “We looked at a few venues beforehand, and Enzo Hunter Valley was one I looked at with my sister 4 years ago for her wedding. But she didn’t go with it, I loved it from that moment. When Corey and I walked through, we were in love with it. However, it wasn’t until we left Enzo and got into the car and Corey said ‘I can see us getting married there’. That’s when I knew, we had to go with it!”
WHAT WE WORE: “Corey and his boys suits were an easy find from MB apparel. They went in with an idea, and came out with what they needed/wanted. Me on the other hand, was not to simple. I swear I tried on a million dresses until I found the one. Which initially when my sisters and Mum first picked it off the rack, I said ‘yuck, I’m not wearing that!’ However, Newcastle Bridal House allowed me to custom make the dress to make it mine! It ended up being absolutely beautiful and I loved it so much!”
FUNNY STORIES: “Maybe just the fact that we built a house, moved house and planned a wedding all within 10 months 😂 somehow we survived…so married should be easy right?
Maybe one funny moment, was when I filled up a bucket of water and quizzed Corey with a bunch of questions regarding the wedding. When he got an answer wrong, I dunked his head into the water. As you can imagine, he was quite drenched by the end of it! I still watch the video to this day for a little laugh.”
FAVOURITE MOMENT: “The day just kept getting better and better! The impromptu rap from our friend Molly, the crazy news report by my siblings and their partners, to the crazy fun on the dance floor! My favourite part would have to be walking down the aisle and seeing Corey (crying might I add – he convinced both of us that he wouldn’t lol). Marrying my best friend and spending the rest of the night by his side was an amazing feeling. Also, giving my bouquet to my Mum, dancing with our parents and of course surprising everyone with our first dance!”
“We just wanted to have the best day of our lives, and a huge party to celebrate our love!”
