Family makes for a wonderful day

Gorgeous cars and a first dance mash up were highlights of the wedding of Kaitlin Emily Smith and Stephen Coco.

The couple were married at St Joseph’s Catholic Church, Stanthorpe on 21 October by Father Gonzalo Garcia Duran.

“We had an amazing and beautiful reception at the Stanthorpe International club,” Kaitlin said.

“Stephen and I surprised all the guests with a first dance mash up.

“Our family and friends made the day magical and one we will never forget.

“We were privilege to have David Smith’s 1926 Oakland and 1984 XE ESP Falcon as well as Mark Fernance’s 1968 HT Premier with turbo Gen 3 Conversion as our wedding cars.

“They were definitely a highlight for us.”

Kaitlin is the oldest daughter of Simon and Kylie Smith while Stephen is the second of Stefano and Josephine Coco four boys.

The wedding party was a family affair with Kaitlin’s younger sister Hayley Smith as maid of honour while Stephen’s older brother Salvatore was the best man.

Stephen’s younger brothers Michael and Anthony were the groomsmen while Kaitlin’s cousins Samantha and Sophie Smith were the bridesmaids.
