Melanie Arter and Abe Myers were engaged on their Bellbrae property one morning after a night camping under the stars.
They were wed just down the road at Abe’s parent’s property.
Comfortable rugs, cushions and a sprinkling of flowers make their nuptials a relaxed but beautiful affair.
The pair hosted 150 guests, however, they made sure they had their own special moments.
“Later in the night, Abe grabbed my hand and took me aside to just watch the wedding for five minutes or so,” Mel remembers.
“It was so awesome to see everyone having fun and enjoying themselves, and for us to be able to take it all in.”
