How We Met
Three years ago, Hannah turned up to a Happn coffee date to meet some guy who a friend swiped on while she lounged on the beach, uninterested. That guy's name was Jeremy, and he had been pretty quick to suggest they meet. After some online sleuthing uncovered his career background, Hannah had thought what the heck - at the very least she might just gain a client on this date lol
Boy did she have that one wrong!
Over two hours of conversation later, Hannah discovered it was actually Jeremy’s birthday, and that she was now invited to date number 2 on that very same day to meet the entire family over birthday drinks.
No biggie!
Now that Hannah knows Jeremy well, she knows that positive risk taking like that is super on-brand for him. And how very, very lucky for both of them. Hannah & Jeremy met at just the right time. Hannah was only willing to accept the utmost of respect and love, while Jeremy had been looking for the future mother of his children. Jeremy immediately set about pursuing Hannah in a kind, considerate, respectful, consent-seeking, and also lighthearted and fun way. He was completely upfront with his desire to be “all in” and Hannah never had to question his feelings or intentions. It was the type of safe love that allowed Hannah to fall in love just as deeply, and this deeply unambiguous love continues to this day. One plague and one little human later, and Hannah & Jeremy are ready to finally make it official!
Our second first date!
The Proposal
With Jeremy's birthday doubling as the anniversary of H&J meeting, he decided that Hannah's birthday should take on a new meaning too.Several thousand rose petals and tea light candles on a romantic beach in Thailand later, there was a resounding "yes" from Hannah on 1 November 2019. Luckily the happy couple snuck in an engagement party right before the plague hit!
The most special night <3
Sharing the happy news!
Best Boy
Bodhi Liddle
Jeremy couldn't think of a better boy to fill this important role than his new best buddy, baby Bodhi. We met our little man in an operating theatre a year and a half ago (by the time of the wedding), screaming and naked, and it was love at first sight. He is still often screaming and naked, and we are still very much in love. We are confident he will do the best job ever.
Bridesgirl of honour
Indi Kaye
Indi has been a dear friend and cuddle buddy to Hannah since she was three years old. She now counts Jeremy as one of her fave's as well. We've had lots of fun together with dozens of sleepovers, beach days, cheese plates, and impromptu dance parties over many years. We expect to see Indi tearing it up on the dance floor later in the evening!
Bridesgirl #1
Imogen Shaw
Imogen is Hannah's niece, daughter of Hannah's sister Claire and husband Victor. She is happiest when she is opening Christmas presents, and really enjoys science at school. Imogen is most excited about attending the floatie party the day after the wedding!
Bridesgirl #2
Waverley Ozinga
Waverley is Jeremy's niece, daughter of Jeremy's step brother and tonight's Master of Beards, Tristan, and his wife Bryanna. Waverley is a champion cartwheeler, makeup artist, and expert deliverer of sass. We almost hired her to do the makeup for the entire bridal party, but decided she'd probably prefer the extra pool time instead.
Bridesgirl #3
Neave O'Hara
Neave is one of "Ham & Jermy's" favourite little holiday buddies, equally as comfortable on the ski slopes as she is in a swimming pool. Hannah and Neave learnt to ski on the same holiday, but only one of them had panic attacks during the experience! Neave's favourite colour is pink and her favourite hobby is painting. She is most looking forward to seeing Ham & Jermy have a big smooch and get married, then head straight to the pool!
Master of Beards
Tristan Ozinga
This finely-bearded young gentleman is our Master of Beards, Tristan - stepbrother to Jeremy, father of Bridesgirl #2 (Waverley) and sons Tavish Jasper and Jyrah, and husband to Bryanna. Tristan will be MC-ing the big event, and we expect to laugh and cry in equal measures (at him not with him, according to Jeremy!).
Celebrant
Shannon Hsu
Shannon has been a dear friend of Hannah’s since they were flatmates living across the road from the nightclub Hannah used to run, where Shannon tore it up each week. These days they are more likely to be found discussing Shannon’s latest business or charitable venture than shouting each other tequila shots (although - porque no los dos? Haha) Shannon is one of the warmest and most inspiring humans Hannah knows, and Jeremy now loves her just as much too. You will not be able to avoid noticing her incredible moves on the dance floor!!!
