About This Film

The film opens at Sandstone Point Hotel, where Emily prepares for the day with her bridesmaids in a softly lit suite. Gentle laughter and the clink of champagne glasses accompany scenes of her friends in blush pink gowns helping with her veil and bouquet. In another room, Dylan adjusts his tuxedo, sharing quiet moments with family and his young sons, Leo and Hunter. Guests gather at the Pavilion, a covered space adorned with floral arrangements and overlooking the grounds. The ceremony begins with the celebrant recounting how Emily and Dylan first met, setting a warm, personal tone. The maid of honor’s speech brings lightheartedness, recalling her role in their first meeting and sharing stories from their friendship. The atmosphere is intimate, with guests smiling and wiping away tears as the couple stands together beneath the decorated altar. Vows are exchanged, and laughter fills the Pavilion when Dylan stumbles over his words, briefly calling Emily his “wolf” before correcting himself. The celebrant speaks of their shared memories and philosophy of love and forgiveness, while soft instrumental music and gentle vocals underscore these moments. After the ceremony, the film transitions to portraits beneath the sprawling fig tree and along the Jetty, capturing the couple and their family in the golden afternoon light. The celebration continues in the Pumicestone Room, where heartfelt speeches from Emily’s father and the maid of honor bring emotion and joy. The film closes with scenes of dancing and laughter, as Emily and Dylan begin their new chapter surrounded by loved ones.

What Was Said (read transcript)
**Celebrant:** Now let me tell you a little bit about Dylan and Emily and what brought them to this day. Dylan and Emily first met in the city when their close friends decided to set them up. **Maid of Honor:** I convinced Em to let me give Dylan her number while arranging for them to meet later that evening. It was that moment I turned to Em on the bus and said, "I'm going to request an honourable mention on your wedding day for making this happen." Well, today's the day. **Celebrant:** Not long after, they were buying a home and moving in together. **Celebrant:** Emily loved the fact that Dylan made her feel special and always made the effort to see her. **Maid of Honor:** From the guy I knew in high school to the man you are today, I'm so glad I've gotten to know you and watched you become a great father, friend, and now, as of today, husband to Em. **Maid of Honor:** I just want to thank you for making all of Em's dreams come true. She deserves absolutely nothing less. **Maid of Honor:** She's the type of friend that will show up at your door at 3am with ice cream and Midori. **Maid of Honor:** Make up silly dance moves on the dance floor with you and is there for you whenever, wherever you need her, no matter what. **Maid of Honor:** I've been blessed to watch you become the doting, incredible mother I always knew you would be, and today I feel so honoured standing by your side as you commit yourself to the man of your dreams. **Emily's Father:** We have a bond that's only yours and mine, and only you and I will ever understand it. You have a heart as big as they get and an attitude to match, but we wouldn't have it any other way. **Emily's Father:** We have all raised you to stand up for yourself and believe in yourself and to be proud of who you are. **Emily's Father:** Young Dylan, you're an amazing young man. I adore you and I love the way that you care for my daughter and especially the way that you care for your two young boys. I believe you are the absolute best man that I could hand my daughter over to. I'm proud to stand here now and call you my son-in-law. I love you unconditionally and officially welcome you wholeheartedly into our family. You look beyond all your things because you might overlook that she's asking you to dance. And you set aside all your plans because you won't understand when you're standing face to face. And you take a risk on the day you will never regret how your life is gonna change. **Celebrant:** The fondest memories of their relationship today were exploring the world and the birth of their two gorgeous boys, Leo and Hunter. **Celebrant:** Today they see themselves committing their love to each other and promising to be there for one another and their children through thick and thin. **Celebrant:** They have a simple philosophy for their life together. Love always, forgive each other always, and make sure that the other always knows that they're loved. **Dylan:** I call upon everyone here today. **Emily:** I call upon everyone here today. **Dylan:** To witness that I, Dylan. **Emily:** To witness that I, Emily. **Dylan:** To take you, Emily. **Emily:** To take you, Dylan. **Dylan:** To be my wolf. (Laughter) **Dylan:** Lawful. To be **Emily:** my lawful wedded husband. **Celebrant:** No longer simply partners and best friends, today your kisses are promised. As I now pronounce you husband and wife. **Dylan:** Emily, I love you not only for what you are but for what I am when I am with you and being a perfect example of what a mother is. You make us all want to be a better man and father. I love you. **Emily's Father:** I will go to the ends of the earth for the four of you without ever blinking an eye. **Emily's Father:** I love you. I love you. **Maid of Honor:** From those two crazy drunk kids looking at the city lights to the happy couple we see before us today. You have created an incredible life together and I know I'm not the only one that can say I'm so proud of the adults and parents you both grew up to be. **Maid of Honor:** I wish you both a world of happiness, a marriage full of laughs and love, and I can't wait to witness the future you hold together because it's going to be amazing. **Celebrant:** Mr and Mrs Bowitt!
