Hannah & Hayden

We met back in 2012 at an Adelaide Uni Geology BBQ. Hayden was enjoying the night with mates and Hannah and Anna walked over for a chat. Hannah was puzzled as to why she had never seen Hayden at any lectures, he soon admitted that he only did Geology for the social gatherings. 

 During the last 7 years together we have enjoyed many holidays together in Australia and around the world, a particular favourite being our 6 month trip around Europe. 

This year we made our biggest move up to Port Macquarie. It was here at Flynn's beach on a friday night that Hayden decided to propose, pulling the ring out of a BBQ shapes box.

We are very excited to continue our life together, and we can't wait to celebrate with you all.

Mum and Dad gave myself and my two younger, "bigger" brothers Toby and Haydon a great childhood; filled with love, support and lots of fun times.  They are extremely hard-working and we wouldn't be where we are today without their sacrifices. Having been married for 31 years they are a great example of a lasting marriage.

Mum and Dad have recently moved from Moama to the Strathbogie Ranges where they have taken up cattle farming. We love visiting the farm and spending quality time with everyone. 

My parents have done a great job raising me and my beautiful sister, Katherine. They have spent the last 30 years in Horsham but made sure to take us on many family camping trips as we grew up which are memories that us kids will treasure. 

They both love their sports, Dad lives and breathes squash and has lately taken up mountain bike riding, squash was not extreme enough for him. Mum loves her football, well actually just Essendon, I guess that is where I get it from.

They have always been great role-models and taught us the importance of hard work and to value the really important things in life. With retirement looming they are looking forward to getting some return on their investment (children) with both of us providing free accommodation in beach side cities. 

Anna and I first met 8 years ago in our first year at Adelaide University.  We instantly bonded over our love for karaoke, dancing and being from the country and soon became inseparable. 

Over the years we have made many wonderful memories together, including holidaying in Fiji and going to music festivals together. As a job Anna is an exploration geologist that sees her travelling around the world and Australia looking for the next big dicovery.

Tom has been my best mate for as long as we can both remember. Over the past 25 years we have made countless happy memories and adventures. Our competitive nature and friendly sporting rivalry meant countless hours of our childhood was spent playing football and tennis in the back yard. We especially enjoyed challenging Tom's younger brothers in sporting games in their early, easy beat days. 

Tom and I both ended up in Adelaide for university, residing at the same college and later sharing a house together. Our first time living together brought with it plenty of funny stories.

Over the last few years we have ended up in towns on opposite sides of Australia but history would suggest this is temporary. Tom, and his fiance Lauren, are now the proud parents of young Len, who we look forward to watching grow up.
