Some love stories begin with a spark. Tegan and Ethan's began with friendship. They met in Year 7, became instant best friends over sport and inside jokes, and spent six years building something unshakeable before Ethan finally found the courage to ask Tegan out. When Covid lockdowns hit, they moved in together and discovered that surviving endless Netflix binges and heated video game battles only made them stronger. Together, they've built a beautiful life with their son Huxon and loyal dog Arlo.

​

The proposal was classic Ethan—well-intentioned but hilariously chaotic. He planned a romantic mystery picnic for Tegan's birthday, but she was always home, forcing him to hide the ring in his jock drawer and execute an elaborate stealth mission just to get it into the car. At Black Hill Lookout, despite nerves and a chipped tooth from a Fruit Tingle, he popped the question from the other side of the car. Tegan said yes. Ethan loves Tegan's resilience and fierce devotion to their family. Tegan loves how Ethan lifts the weight off her shoulders and makes her laugh with his terrible dad jokes—because that's just what love does.

​

On their wedding day, Tegan and Ethan celebrated with 110 friends and family in a relaxed cocktail-style event, surrounded by their cherished bridal party who've been part of their journey for years. Together, they're partners in everything—gaming buddies, adventurers, and soulmates ready to tackle whatever comes next. Their story proves that the best relationships start with friendship, grow through laughter, and thrive on unwavering support.
