The Proposal:
Braden knew the proposal had to be unforgettable, so he planned a magical evening at Taronga Zoo complete with a photographer to capture every detail. Before the big question, the couple enjoyed a pre-proposal shoot around the zoo grounds. Then, he led Stephanie to a beautifully decorated room filled with red roses, overlooking the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
How They Met:
Not your typical high school sweethearts, Braden and Stephanie first met on the school bus. He was the older brother of a year seven girl Stephanie had been asked to look after. Though their teenage romance was short-lived, their bond grew into a deep friendship that lasted for years. From after school chats to sharing life advice, they built a foundation of trust, safety and respect. Over the next sixteen years, they supported each other through everything; from careers, heartbreaks, a house fire, even moving away. Though the idea of dating came up over time, they never seemed to be on the same page and eventually lost touch.
After Stephanie’s last breakup, Braden became her emotional anchor once again. One night over sushi, house hunting, and laughing at animal videos, they realised that true partnership is simply being there for one another. It took time, but they finally chose to take the leap and chose each other.
How They Proposed:
When Braden asked what kind of ring and proposal Stephanie wanted, she kept it brief: make it Pinterest-worthy, something she’d be jealous of. She thought it was a big ask, but he undoubtedly delivered. He planned a night at Taronga Zoo, with dinner, a pre-proposal photoshoot around the zoo, and a room filled with romantic red roses that overlooked the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Braden use to say that when he found someone truly worth it, he’d commit fully. Stephanie hoped it would be her. And seeing him on one knee, with everything planned perfectly to take her breath away, she knew it was.
