Casey Irwin and Damian Durrant were married at Teal Homestead Garden at The Summit on Saturday 18 September. Their reception was held at The Summit Bowls Club.
Casey is the oldest daughter of Kathie and Kerry Irwin, while Damian is the oldest son of Marvin and Kathleen Durrant.
The Maid of Honour was Kristy with bridesmaids Yolander, Renee, and Tash.
The Best Man was Kiel, joined by groomsman Greg, Rick, and Josh.
The photographer was a friend of the couple, who used to live across from them before they moved to Bowen. They travelled down to share in the special day.
The couple would like to thank Chloe Hassem and her husband Jamahl, as well as Chloe’s Uncle Tony for their help.
Casey said their day was perfect, with the weather on their side too.
She said they weren’t sure whether Covid-19 would ruin the day with a lockdown, but thankfully everything went ahead as planned and they were able to have most of their family and friends there.
The couple also shared an extra ceremony called a sand ceremony, which is to bring blended families together as one.
Each colour of sand represents a person in their family, and Casey said this was a way for their boys Tyler, Charlie, Flynn, Bohdi, and Kian to be part of the special day.
“We had been waiting for this day practically since we got together,” Casey said. “We just knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives growing old together.”
The couple thanked their celebrant, Trish Cuthbert, who they said was “amazing” and captured the perfect ceremony for them.
“It was such a magical day, we would do it all over again.”
