Let’s rewind to 2015 where it all began, Eloise and Isaac met whilst ice skating in Brisbane. Ok, we’ll let Eloise tell the story, “I met a really nice boy called Isaac. He spoke to me for about 20 seconds and in that time, I learnt three things; he was very handsome, single, and was a 'farmer kid’ from Gatton. This appealed to me greatly, particularly because I've watched every season of Farmer Wants a Wife and always dreamt of ending up with a farmer.” Two weeks later, Eloise and Isaac had their first date and that was the beginning of their forever.

James and Lucinda’s story started in Darwin; he was a pilot and she was a nurse. They lived next door to each other but they had never met. That was until their housemates played cupid and provided the important common link, introducing James and Lucinda at a local house party. And the rest, as they say, is history.

James and Brooke’s love story started with a little help from cupid the matchmaker. Their first date was an arranged date at a local bar in Toowoomba, Muller Bros. After searching through the crowd, James and Brooke were relieved to finally find each other on the rooftop bar. James and Brooke just clicked and from the beginning, they knew they would be great friends and today they are best friends.

Stuart and Eden met in the Summer of 2014 at one of Brisbane’s finest tapas bars. They ate, they drank, they laughed and before they knew it, it was almost midnight, they were completely lost in one another’s presence – this was the start of their forever!

The love story of Travis and Hannah blossomed ten years ago when Hannah was 16 and Travis, 17.

Robert and Sarah hosted a gorgeous Winter wedding at Gabbinbar Homestead alongside 70 of their closest friends and family. Blessed with a crisp but clear Winter’s day which Toowoomba is renowned for, the ceremony was held in ‘The Pavilion’ followed by a garden party on the front lawn. The evening concluded with their reception in the ‘Conservatory’ complete with a delectable 2-course sit-down dinner.

Jessica and Casey’s story is one of love at first sight. Meeting through mutual friends at a New Year’s Eve party, Casey and Jessica connected straight away and from the moment they met they knew marriage was on the cards. Just in case New Year’s Eve wasn’t already memorable enough, exactly 3 years after they met, on New Year’s Eve, Casey and Jessica were enjoying a private sunset dinner in Fiji. In a small hut built into the side of a cliff, overlooking the coral reef, Casey got down on one knee and popped the question. Wedding planning here we come!
