Gemma & James’ Love Story
From a Bumble Match to a Nightclub Queue
Some love stories begin with a grand romantic gesture, but for Gemma and James, it all started with a swipe right on Bumble. After a couple of late-night chats, fate had other plans—they ended up meeting by accident in a nightclub queue that very weekend.
That night, they hit it off instantly, and before long, they were dating for real—no more accidental meetings needed.
A Dreamy Proposal in Tasmania
Fast forward to December 2022, and James had something special planned. While on an unforgettable trip to Tasmania, he proposed on Wineglass Bay beach—one of the most breathtaking places in the world.
Despite being a popular tourist spot, they had the beach almost entirely to themselves, making the proposal even more magical. Of course, Gemma said yes, and their adventure towards planning the perfect wedding began.
