From Watermelon Festivals to Wedding Bells:
Katie & Matt’s Epic Love Story
Katie and Matt’s story has everything you could want in a rom-com: a bit of awkwardness, a lot of laughter, and a happily ever after.
It all started when Katie, freshly relocated to Brisbane, tagged along with her flatmate Josh to meet the tenants of a huge Queenslander house. Among them was Matt — a shy, reserved South African lad who was too busy studying to notice the whirlwind that had just entered his life.
Their first proper connection? A four-hour car ride to a watermelon festival, which could have been awkward, but instead, they spent the trip cracking each other up. By the time they were back in Brisbane, they’d already set up a first date, and, well, the rest is history!
Fast forward a few years, and their life together is the stuff of dreams. From adopting their fur babies Barry, Winnie, and Beau, to welcoming their beautiful daughter Flora, Katie and Matt have built a home filled with love, laughter, and just the right amount of chaos.
Katie, the Disney and Harry Potter superfan with a talent for crafts and a heart of gold, balances Matt’s quiet charm and love for all things finance and fitness. Their personalities shine through in everything they do — from Matt making propagation stations for Katie’s plants to Katie sewing her own wedding dress accessories the morning of their big day.
The proposal? Pure Matt style. After waiting for the right moment with the ring they had picked out, he surprised Katie in New Zealand with one of her grandmother’s rings instead — a gesture that was as meaningful as it was unexpected. It might have taken some convincing to get Katie out of bed that night, but it was worth it when he got down on one knee.
Now, as they step into this new chapter as newlyweds (and with baby number two on the way — surprise!), Katie and Matt’s story reminds us all that love is about finding someone who makes the journey as fun as the destination.
Here’s to their next big adventure and a lifetime of laughter, love, and maybe a few more watermelon festivals.
