In the heart of youth, amidst the charm of a mutual friend's fancy dress birthday party, Anita and Jerrad's love story began. At just 16 and 17 years old, they felt an instant connection, drawn together as if by fate. Over the years, their friendship blossomed, marked by bike rides to each other's houses and shared moments of laughter and companionship.
Their tale took an adventurous turn when, at 22, Anita ventured to Bali to pursue new horizons. Little did she know, destiny had plans to reunite her with Jerrad. Through the digital threads of social media, their connection reignited, sparking the flames of a romance that would define their lives.Β

Picture the serene waters of the Gili Islands in Indonesia; Anita and Jerrad embarked on a scuba diving holiday, where Jerrad seized the perfect moment, surprisingΒ Anita with a heartfelt proposal against the backdrop of a breathtaking sunset on the beach.

For Anita and Jerrad, marriage is more than a union; it's a testament to their profound love and unwavering commitment to each other. Their wedding day symbolised a celebration of the love that binds them.

Though Anita and Jerrad chose to elope, their families showered them with love and support from afar. While they couldn't physically be present, their blessings served as a comforting embrace, affirming Anita and Jerrad's decision to honour their love in their own unique way.
