Lyn will be working the room on the night, probably with a chihuahua on each arm, no doubt saying how great Jourdana has been for her boy and Alan will be easy to spot near the esky in a nice loud shirt sipping on an ice cold beer.
Almost 50yrs of marriage so if you want any tips maybe have a chat to them on the night.
Matt and Jourdana’s first spark was in early 2013 at the highly romantic location of Brockman 4 minesite while he was there as an observer for an air crash exercise.
After that meeting he summonsed the courage to ask her on a date, picked her up, locked the car doors and before she could run off hit her with the news that he was technically still married and had 2 kids.
The locked doors, moving car plan worked and we made it to lunch in Fremantle.
It was a long time between first dates for the both of us but we hit it off and rest is history.
For the first 12 months different rosters and weekends with the kids meant we got a grand total of 2 days a month of alone time but in the almost 7 years together we’ve never missed a day away without a phonecall to each other.
That start gave us a love and appreciation for each other like nothing else, that love grew to include Matt’s children, Mischa and Cadel and our own little fur babies, Nutella and Carlos.
We’re best friends, lovers, gym training buddies, business partners and very excited to be sharing a last name as we get old and grey together.
