HOME SWEET HOME The speeches were a highlight of
Tarren and David’s day. ‘David’s brother’s speech was really
special and beautifully thought out,’ says the bride. And David
started his speech by thanking everyone who’d travelled a long
distance to be there — none more so than his wife who came
“from heaven”. After dancing to Beyonce’s Love On Top, this expat
couple spent the evening just enjoying ‘being around much missed friends
and family’, says Tarren.WOW FACTOR ‘My theme was elegant and modern, but I wanted a wow
impact,’ says Tarren of their reception at Quay, overlooking the harbour in
Sydney. Table centrepieces of tall vases virtually exploded with white petals
at the top; and the couple’s four-tier cake was chocolate and caramel mud
cake under a flowery swirl of ivory coloured icing embellished with crystals.Large, curvaceous
