Together Journal Feature :: Alex & Phil - Pilu

Originally we had planned to wed on the cliffs in Uluwatu (Bali) in 2020, but one month out from our big day the world shut down and we were thrown into the unknown. A year later we still weren’t sure if we would get married and had many conversations around “should we/shouldn’t we” when my best friend Courtney (one of our bridesmaids who’d been stuck in London for over a year) managed to get on a flight home to Sydney to visit her mum. After dropping Courtney a care package full of necessities (Marie Clair, Cadbury, Pringle’s, Wine, etc.) to the Sheraton Grand on Hyde Park I had a “now or never” moment and drove straight home to tell Phil. The very next day we booked a wedding venue for four weeks’ time.
