What Was Said
**Celebrant:**
From a surprise romantic picnic proposal at One Tree Hill at Maleny to a marriage under this wedding tree here at Preston Peak.
**Celebrant:**
Let me tell you a tale that's all about romance, that starts with hello and a meeting by chance.
(Music)
**Celebrant:**
They exchanged glimpses for years while travelling to school, but never had spoken. She was with the kids who were cool.
(Music)
**Celebrant:**
Now Brent was having a drink at the Ipswich Cup, perched on a bar stool. Then Chelsea turned up, a familiar face and a smile that was about to change fate.
(Music)
**Celebrant:**
Chelsea treasures Brent for his compassion, selflessness, kindness, and of course, love.
**Celebrant:**
She admires his honesty, loyalty, and the attributes of being understanding and a very good listener.
(Music)
**Celebrant:**
Brent is smitten with Chelsea's personality, her work ethic, and of course, her beauty. He knows his heart is in safe hands with her. He never questions her loyalty and undeniably trusts and respects her.
(Music)
**Chelsea's Sister:**
Chelsea, you are the most loyal, fiercely protective, and caring sister I could possibly ask for. Your love, persistence, and resilience over the years have continually inspired and empowered me. I'm so thankful to you and beyond proud to be able to share your special day with you both.
**Maid of Honor:**
Brent,
**Maid of Honor:**
I want to say thank you for being Chelsea's rock, for bringing her down to earth when she needs it, and for making her so, so happy. You are patient and caring and nothing short of the perfect person for Chelsea.
**Maid of Honor:**
I knew it would take a special man to be good enough for Chelsea, but from the moment I met you I knew you were meant to be her other half.
**Celebrant:**
She slipped over then fell in love. This story's for real. It swept her off her feet and from that moment since the fall, there was no doubting it. They were in it for the long haul.
(Music)
**Maid of Honor:**
You're the sister I've been able to choose and my best friend, and it is a great honour to be standing here tonight as your maid of honour. Comforting each other through heartbreaks and hyping each other up through achievements. You've been my dude, my bro, my mate, my babe, but most importantly you're the Charlie Brown to my Snoopy.
(Music)
**Chelsea:**
Chelsea Allen, 26 years ago.
(Music)
**Brent:**
Don't use numbers.
(Laughter)
**Chelsea's Mum:**
You were about to come into this world.
**Chelsea's Mum:**
I don't know how it's possible that time can go by so quickly. It's almost as if it was stuck on fast forward and I've cherished every moment and memory of my little princess.
(Music)
**Brent:**
I would like to start by telling you how much I love you. Of course I love how beautiful you are, but the best part about you is your kind heart and I thank God every day that you have given your heart to me.
(Music)
**Chelsea:**
You have always supported me and my dreams, both personal and professional. I come to you for advice and I know you always have and always will have my back in every situation life throws at us. We both have been through many challenges and first-time experiences together, but nothing is stronger than our love for one another.
(Music)
**Brent:**
I promise to walk with you hand in hand through life as your biggest fan, your shoulder to lean on, and your best friend.
(Music)
**Chelsea:**
Today I vow to unconditionally and wholeheartedly love you in all of your forms, in both our good times and difficult times, now and forever.
(Music)
**Brent:**
I promise to take good care of you and of course listen to everything you tell me to. Unless it involves not playing golf on the weekend.
(Music)
**Chelsea:**
I promise to celebrate you and your achievements and support you in your times of need. To be your best friend and soulmate and to be patient, though I know you know patience isn't my greatest quality. I know I'm not perfect but I love that you treat me like I am.
(Music)
**Brent:**
Without you none of this is possible. You have helped me to become the person I am today. I look forward to not only growing old together but to grow together as a couple.
**Brent:**
I promise to love you faithfully through the difficult and the easy times. I marry you with no hesitation or doubt and my commitment to you is all-consuming.
**Brent:**
I love you unconditionally and always will.
(Music)
**Chelsea:**
Let's build a home filled with laughter, kindness, love, and support and be a home for each other forever and ever.
**Chelsea:**
I love you, Brent.
(Music)
**Celebrant:**
Join me now in congratulating the newlyweds as they take their first married kiss.
(Applause) (Music)
**Chelsea:**
We're married!
(Music)
**Celebrant:**
Cooking dinner together, cuddles, and saying good night. They make the best team and it just feels so right.
(Music)
**Celebrant:**
Renos and gardening, they work so well together from this day forward until forever. We wish them both all the happiness in life as they start their adventure as husband and wife.
(Music)
