In the heart of Glenelg, Adelaide, a story unfolded that was nothing short of a fairy tale.

The morning air was crisp, filled with anticipation and the sweet scent of blooming gardens surrounding Partridge House. The venue, renowned for its majestic aura, was buzzing with excitement. It was here, under the whispering leaves of ancient trees and the soft glow of the Australian sun, that Bec and Matt chose to begin their forever.
Preparation
The day kicked off with Matt and his groomsmen in a stylish modern townhouse near Glenelg.
