In a celebration marked by creativity, community, and the vibrant hue of yellow, Rose Davies and Peter Evald-Rice's wedding was nothing short of extraordinary. The ceremony took place on the enchanting Rodd Island, a setting that symbolically united the blue waters of Manly and the brown waters of Lane Cove, the respective childhood homes of Pete & Rose. It was an Australiana wedding that will have to go down as one of the best!

From the moment guests arrived, the atmosphere was infused with personal touches that spoke volumes about the couple's unique journey and their artistic family. Both Rose & Pete showcased their talents by crafting their own wedding outfits (!!), and the surrounding trees were adorned with handmade 'earrings' crafted by their aunt Jen. Overall, this wedding had a vibrant, intimate atmosphere that perfectly complemented the day's theme.

Who did I marry?

Rose, known for her boundless creativity and vibrant spirit, brings a touch of sparkle to every moment. She possesses a fierce independence and her love for the arts is evident not just in her personal projects but in the way she weaves creativity into her everyday life.

Peter, on the other hand, is the perfect complement to Rose’s effervescent personality. He is grounded, unpretentious, and possesses a knack for turning his hand to craftsmanship with a sense of adventure. His deep connection with the sea, combined with his practical skills and a surprisingly playful sense of humour, makes him a beloved figure among friends and family. Together, Rose and Pete embody a harmonious blend of creativity, adventure, and deep, unwavering commitment.

My favourite part of the ceremony

Rose's vows were a poetic and heartfelt tribute to their shared experiences. She spoke about the simple joys and profound moments that have defined their relationship. From the thrill of a motorbike ride to the tender care of shared traditions, Rose’s vows captured the essence of their bond. Her promise to love Pete through all of life’s adventures, big and small, was a beautiful reminder of the depth of their connection.

Pete’s vows were equally touching, framed through the metaphor of building a life together. His comparison of their love to an evolving architectural project (they are architects) was a poignant expression of how their relationship has grown and developed over time. The imagery of constructing a home together, with Rose as his steadfast partner, spoke to the strength and resilience of their union. Pete’s promises to support Rose, share in her joys and challenges, and keep their life filled with passion and laughter highlighted the genuine care and commitment he has for her.

And, once all the tears were done, we all danced on the lawn in a traditonal Tanz Tanz!
