Meet Theresa, Our Destination Wedding Bride
Hello everyone at Bridal Guide! I'm Theresa, a daughter, student, blogger and—as of last May—a wife-to-be. I moved to Australia from the tiny island of Singapore to pursue my continuing education but instead found love. I know, how cliché. But when my fiancé Luke and I both dived into this relationship, we knew we were headed towards a specific direction, which included marriage, kids and a white picket fence. So it wasn't too surprising to either of us that after 18 months of dating, we became engaged.
Here's how it went down: After an excruciatingly painful day at Uni (we call college "Uni" here in Australia) studying statistics, I'd come home to Luke being in an extraordinarily good mood and realized that his football team had won their game. So in order to help me relax, he suggested we head out for a cup of coffee. This cup of coffee turned into a breathtaking view of the Swan River atop Kings Park (Google it), and my gorgeous man with that even more gorgeous ring. That night, we went out to dinner at one of the fanciest restaurants in Perth and drank and ate like we were the happiest people on the planet—and we were! I honestly do not remember much of that night, but remember waking up the next morning and checking my left hand to make sure it was all real.
