How It All Began
Our Story
A Chance Encounter
Lachlan and Helena met at a charity gala at the National Gallery of Victoria. He was captivated by her laugh; she was drawn to his quiet confidence. They spent the evening lost in conversation, oblivious to the world around them.
The First Date
Three weeks later, Lachlan invited Helena for dinner at a candlelit Italian restaurant on Lygon Street. What was meant to be a simple dinner turned into a five-hour affair that closed out the restaurant.
Making It Official
After a summer road trip along the Great Ocean Road, with the Twelve Apostles as their witness, Lachlan asked Helena to be his partner in everything. She answered with a kiss.
A Home Together
They found a beautiful terrace in Fitzroy and made it their own, filling it with art, books, and their rescue greyhound, Archie. It became the place where all their favourite memories live.
The Proposal
On a crisp autumn evening at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Lachlan led Helena to a gazebo lit with hundreds of candles. With trembling hands and a heart full of love, he asked her to marry him. She said yes before the question was finished.
Forever Begins
Surrounded by those they love most, Lachlan and Helena will begin their forever at The Langham Melbourne, a place as timeless as the love they share.
