How did hubby propose? "We were in Fiji on holiday for my 30th Birthday. Brendan flew me out to Tokoriki Island as a surprise to stay for the night. We had an amazing dinner down on a private deck right near the ocean, after dessert one the staff members brought out an iPad Brendan told me to press play, he had put together a presentation with photos and videos of our relationship, he has also recorded a cover of one of our favourite songs to go in the background. After watching all that and turning into a crying mess he proposed with a ring that he had spent 4 months designing himself. The ring has two 'B's' in the diamond setting for Brendan & Brodie.
Brendan and Brodie were married in October 2013 at the Outrigger on the Lagoon, Coral Coast Fiji. They had 36 guests who had flown from Perth and Sydney to attend.
"I bought my dress back in Perth from Hobnob, the designer is "Brides Desire" from Brisbane. I absolutely fell in love with the dress as soon as I put it on."
My shoes were handmade by an amazing designer in Byron Bay, www.foreversoles.com, they were so incredibly comfortable I didn't take them off all day even though we trekked through the bush and the sand on the beach. They even lasted the dance floor at the end of the night!
Brodie walked down the isle arm in arm with both her Mum and Dad, while a song her brother recorded played in the background.
Brodie Says: "The girls loved the versatility of the dresses, being able to each express their own taste and comfort in the way they tied them up (some actually had a different look for the ceremony and reception). All were extremely comfortable no matter their size, they were all also comfortable in the humidity we experienced on the day. The colour also suited all their complexions, I absolutely loved the colour - it was a fantastic contrast to the tropical green surroundings of Fiji. They are definitely able to wear them post-wedding as well!"
"My favourite part was probably the entrance we planned for the reception. We had asked all our bridal party to give us their favourite dance floor tune or their 'theme song'. Brendan's brother mixed together all the songs for us (he's a music producer) and we wrote a funny little bio for each of the bridal party to run in after. We had two incredible friends as our MC's for the night and they did a fantastic of introducing each bridal party member, they ran in to their 'theme song' and then flanked the entrance ready for us to come in. We had a mix of our two favourite AFL teams theme songs for us to run in to and my sister had made us a banner saying "please welcome Mr & Mrs Seals" that we ran through."
"We have a lot of creative people around us, mostly musicians. So all the music for our wedding was done by our friends and family, my brother pre-recorded the guitar I walked down the aisle to and singer/songwriter friends of ours did a beautiful duet cover of the song Brendan used to propose as our first dance song.
We took over a heap of musical instruments with us to get everyone involved with a song a friend of ours played live at the end of the ceremony. All our wedding guests then came on a village tour with us the next day and we donated all the instruments to the children of the village. Very surreal to hear them all playing and singing as we left the village that day."

Brodie and Brendan used the services of a Sydney based wedding planner to coordinate their destination wedding. "Chelsea Jayne Weddings, were our wedding planners. They were absolutely essential for us, planning in Fiji is near impossible without some who knows there way around 'Fiji Time'."
