Love at first sight…

One of our first dates, spent by the water in Sydney Harbour. This was also our very first picture together.

Our first Interstate Trip

We spent our first trip away in the Gold Coast together, this was also the first time Mariam met Chris’ parents.

One of many..

One of the Chris’ first international competitions Mariam went to watch. Chris was representing Australia at Asia Pacific Championships.

Family Day Out

The first time we went to the zoo together! It was a great day out with Mariam’s family.

Our first Orthodox Easter

Chris joined Mariam and her family for Easter midnight mass.

The Day She Said Yes!

Take my hand and forget about the world.
I will love you like you have never been loved before.
Look into my eyes and dream about us both. 
Together we will conquer and reach up to the skies. 
No frowns no tears just smiles and laughter. 
We are just young lovers blessed by God.
Let me shower you with compliments,
your eyes sparkle like the stars
and your smile shines bright as the sun.
We are just in our first chapter, 
but our love story has just begun. 
Now take my hand and forget about the world.
I will love you like you have never been loved before.


An unforgettable moment

Chris planned a surprise proposal in the snow which completely took Mariam for surprise! He had the help of her friends and brother to set up such an unforgettable moment.

Our first International Trip!

In January 2019 (just before Covid Hit) we had an amazing trip in Bali with Mariam’s Family. We had a fantastic time and can’t wait to revisit Indonesia in the future.

Celebrating Love

One of the many weddings we have attended together! We both love an excuse to suit up and dress to impress. Weddings are our specialty so you can imagine how excited we are for our wedding!

Piccolo’s first birthday!

I still can’t believe we had a birthday party for our dog! Piccolo has become a huge part of our little family, and we have so much love for him. We can’t wait to start a family with Piccolo as our family pet.

World Championships in Africa!

Supporting each other in our ambitions has always been an integral part of our relationship. Travelling to South Africa for the Powerlifting World Championships and the highest level of the sport in the world, was a huge milestone for Chris. Mariam was there with him and supported him every step of the way!

Romance in Thailand

Earlier this year we were able to go overseas for the first time in a couple of years to Thailand! We had a wonderful time exploring, relaxing and of course partying together!

Not long to go!

Only a few weeks to go until our big day! We are incredibly excited to welcome you all to celebrate our wedding day together!
