Jarrod & Sarah's Unique Spring Wedding at Dromana Estate

In a delightful fusion of springtime freshness and a dash of spooky charm, last Friday, Jarrod and Sarah celebrated their wedding at the enchanting Dromana Estate. It was a day filled with love, laughter, and unique touches that truly reflected the couple's personalities. Sarah's love for all things green, nature, and spring inspired the theme, while her passion for Halloween added an unexpected twist—Friday the 13th of October became their chosen date, setting the stage for an unforgettable celebration.

The day kicked off with the bride and groom's preparations, each radiating class and style. The talented team at Merry May Makeup ensured that Jarrod and Sarah looked their absolute best as they readied themselves for their special day.

At 4 PM, under the gentle embrace of spring, the ceremony began. Two very special guests, Dustin and Delilah, the couple's beloved dogs, were in attendance, adding a heartwarming touch to the proceedings. The floral arrangements by Poppy Culture adorned the setting with the vibrant colors of spring, creating a picturesque backdrop for Jarrod and Sarah's heartfelt vows.

As the sun began its descent, the party shifted to the reception at 5 PM. Astro Soul Music took the stage, providing live music and DJ services that kept the dance floor alive with energy and joy. It was a night of celebration, where friends and family joined in the couple's happiness, making the dance floor their canvas to create unforgettable memories.

The wedding wouldn't have been complete without capturing every magical moment, and that's where The Awedrop, the chosen videographer, stepped in. Their skillful lens ensured that every smile, every tear, and every laugh would be cherished for years to come.

Reflecting on their journey, Jarrod and Sarah shared their unique beginning. They crossed paths in 2012 while working at Coles during their university years. Sarah worked at the checkout, and Jarrod was the guy stacking shelves, which led to their first date at The Glen. They dined at Max Brenner's for lunch and watched "The Hobbit" in 3D—a memorable date that they both fondly remember, especially Jarrod's nerdy 3D glasses moment.

Their engagement story was equally enchanting. In March 2022, after enduring the trials of COVID lockdowns, they found themselves in Noosa, Queensland. During a private picnic by the water as the sun dipped below the horizon, Jarrod dropped to one knee and asked Sarah to be his forever. It was a proposal that perfectly encapsulated their journey—a blend of love, adventure, and a touch of suspense, as Jarrod nearly had his secret ring stash exposed at Melbourne customs.

When asked about what they were most looking forward to on their wedding day, Jarrod's eyes sparkled as he expressed his anticipation of seeing Sarah walk down the aisle. For Sarah, it was all about witnessing Jarrod's reaction as she made her entrance—a moment of pure, unfiltered love and emotion.

As the day came to a close, Jarrod and Sarah offered some valuable tips for future brides and grooms. Among their advice, they suggested creating a shared email for wedding planning to streamline communication. They also humorously noted the expense of stamps, especially for larger envelopes, and shared the wisdom of keeping the mother-in-law happy. Finally, they emphasized the importance of embracing the chaos, as every twist and turn in their journey had led them to this beautiful moment of unity and love.

Jarrod and Sarah's wedding at Dromana Estate was a truly unique and unforgettable experience, a testament to their love, their personalities, and their journey together. It was a day filled with love, laughter, and a touch of the unexpected—a perfect reflection of the couple themselves. Congratulations to Jarrod and Sarah on their enchanting wedding day!
