It’s wonderful how it is making the country a new haven for couples in love. There are already many reasons to love Australia, this being another feather in the cap.
A wedding is an extremely sentimental affair. Be it the case with a straight couple or a same-sex couple, marriages unite 2 souls together. Unlike the previous days when the family of the bride and groom used to take care of the whole event, things have changed for good now.

It’s obvious for the couple to want everything to be perfect on their big day. After all, it’s the day they are celebrating themselves.
