The film opens at Sandstone Point Hotel’s Pavilion, where a white sign adorned with fresh blooms welcomes guests beneath a peaked white roof. Sunlight streams through the open structure, illuminating Red’s beaded gown and Jayden’s burgundy suit as they stand surrounded by pillars of flowers and lush greenery. Friends and family gather quietly, their anticipation softened by laughter and gentle music, while a black dog in a tuxedo bandana makes its way down the aisle.
The ceremony begins with the celebrant sharing playful stories of Red and Jayden’s first encounters, their mutual attraction at competitions, and the gym sessions that brought them together. The atmosphere is light and warm, with the maid of honor’s speech drawing laughter as she describes Red’s achievements and Jayden’s unwavering support—especially during squat sets. The celebrant and maid of honor paint a vivid picture of Red’s strength and ambition, while also highlighting Jayden’s gentle heart and sense of humor.
As vows are exchanged, Jayden recounts his proposal atop a cliff in Lichfield National Park, and both promise to support, nurture, and make each other laugh. Emotional reactions ripple through the guests, with moments of laughter and tears blending seamlessly.
The celebration continues in The Cellar, where heartfelt speeches from Red’s father and the maid of honor mix with playful anecdotes. Throughout, soft romantic music and the sounds of joy fill the air, creating an atmosphere of love, humor, and togetherness.
What Was Said(read transcript)
**Celebrant:**
It all began at a distance as they gazed at each other at various competitions over the years. Jaden noticed a hot redhead. Red noticed the bad boy with the beard and the tattoos. It really had marriage written all over it.
**Celebrant:**
Conveniently, they became members at the same gym in 2021.
**Celebrant:**
And conveniently, they trained late night hours together. And by conveniently, I mean that Jaden kept messaging, "When are you going to the gym?"
**Maid of Honor:**
Jaden's an arse man, so there's no doubt that when Red needed a spotter during a squat set, Jaden obviously put up his hand and he's held a keen appreciation for Red's physical form ever since.
**Celebrant:**
Yes, it was through this time where Red realised Jaden was actually the most gentle soul with the kindest heart. His cute kiwi accent, cheeky personality and always putting her weights away won some serious heart points.
(Music)
**Celebrant:**
The first date, finally, was a home cooked roast on Boxing Day by Red as they shared their first kiss.
**Celebrant:**
This date lasted for four nights.
(Laughter)
**Maid of Honor:**
Red, my little sister, you are an amazing human and truly the definition of an overachiever.
**Maid of Honor:**
This chick holds a double degree and a master's. She's a snowboarding and a skiing instructor. She can play three instruments really well. She owns her own house. She's a seasoned traveller. And she's both a strong woman and a weightlifting champion.
(Music)
**Maid of Honor:**
It takes a very brave man to partner a spicy redhead.
**Maid of Honor:**
And a brave person to enter the world with someone who can simultaneously diagnose your ailment, plan an entire holiday with a minute by minute itinerary, and squat and out eat more than you.
(Music)
**Celebrant:**
Hiking in the glorious Litchfield National Park in the Northern Territory, Jaden coerced Red out onto the ledge of a cliff with a magnificent drop.
**Celebrant:**
But then he dropped to one knee.
**Jayden:**
Before I could get my words out, you snatched that ring out of my hand like a starving seagull on a chip.
(Laughter)
**Jayden:**
Red, it looked more amazing than I could ever imagine.
**Jayden:**
It was early days and I knew you were the woman I wanted to marry. It also helped you tell me every time we passed the ring shop what engagement ring you wanted.
(Laughter)
**Red:**
My dearest Jaden, my best friend and my biggest fan, you look so handsome today. You're really rocking that burgundy suit.
**Red:**
I'm so happy to be standing here next to you about to be your wifey.
**Jayden:**
I promise to always be there for you even when you can't find your way out of a mall. To make you laugh when you're grumpy, then shortly after apologize for making you grumpy in the first call.
**Red:**
I promise to support you with kindness, nurture you in sickness and dedicate myself to prioritising your happiness, strengths and success.
**Jayden:**
And to share my food with you, even though I asked you and you said you didn't want to. Looking forward to the future, the adventures to come, the music to experience and to travel the world having you, my best friend, on my side.
**Red:**
I will be silly in love with you until my cheeks hurt and continue to grow as a person with you by my side. I feel so lucky that you've picked me as your favourite person and I'll never take that for granted.
**Jayden:**
Susan.
(Laughter) (Music)
**Jayden:**
There you were. I loved it.
**Red:**
You are always the calm to my storm, the light in my darkness and we are better together. I love you now, always and forever.
(Music)
**Celebrant:**
It is with my greatest pleasure that I now pronounce you husband and wife.
(Applause)
**Music Vocal:**
Valentine, a candy heart could never be as sweet as a kiss from you tonight. On the top of the line, our favourite love songs play on repeat.
**Music Vocal:**
Guess I got one thing right
**Music Vocal:**
and you're just in time. I've waited all my life for love to keep. So baby will you be my Valentine?
**Music Vocal:**
Cause Valentine is everyday with you,
**Music Vocal:**
baby. Is everyday with you, baby.
(Music)
**Red's Dad:**
I just would like to say, Jayden, welcome very much to the family. I know you'll fit in perfectly because insanity runs in our family too.
(Music)
**Maid of Honor:**
Who is the most likely to become a unicorn at someone else's wedding?
(Music)
**Maid of Honor:**
May your relationship be as irritatingly successful as Red is in everything she does. And may your love stay as strong as her deadlifts.
(Music)
**Celebrant:**
So please join me in congratulating and make some noise for Mr and Mrs Grendel.
