Georgie and Nic: One Big Party, One Big Love
Georgie and Nic’s story began with a nervous loop around Hyde Park in Sydney, a bottle of water, and a phone call to a friend predicting a wedding. From a first date that almost didn't happen to a Dead Sea proposal involving rosé and a lot of happy tears, theirs is a story of two people who found refuge in each other and threw one hell of a party to celebrate it.

Tell us a little about that first time you met…
Georgie: We first connected online on a girls app called HER. We were obsessive from the start. We would message each other until 2-3am each morning. We met in person within a few days and had our first date in Hyde Park. Nic was on a lunch break and had a backup plan to leave early. Her best friend Fuller tried to talk her out of meeting up with me. We were both so nervous we ended up walking around in circles for over an hour, sharing stories and making each other laugh. We did have to stop at the shop to buy some water. When I walked away, I phoned my friend Steven and told him he could expect an invitation to our wedding.
What was the first thing you noticed about each other?
Georgie: I noticed Nic's androgynous style and her smile. I thought she was so cool and intimidating.
Nic: I noticed that Georgie looked me directly in the eyes - I thought she was assertive and calm.
Tell us about the standout moments in your relationship…
Georgie: I came out with Nic, which was received well by the people that mattered, and Nic was so supportive of that process.
Nic: Moving in together - we waited around 14 months before officially living together, which is pretty much a lifetime in lesbian years. We lived in a tiny studio in the heart of Darlinghurst for 4 years.
Nic: The passing of Charlie. Georgie got Charlie at 19 in 2014, and he quickly became my baby. When he left us in 2024, it nearly broke us, but we learned what it meant to grieve together and provide each other with space
Nic: The first time we said I love you, Georgie had been away for 10 days in QLD, went to the pub that afternoon, and got pretty lit. We were too nervous sober.
Georgie: We have travelled to Tasmania, Greece, Israel, Egypt, Thailand together, and our holidays are the best because we just get to be together without the guilt of not seeing people! We prefer our own company.
What does marriage mean to you?
Georgie and Nic: For us, it's about creating a safe environment where we can be 100% ourselves and genuinely not want each other to be different. As a same-sex couple, we often find that the world does not accept us for who we are or see us as equals. Both in small and in some really big ways - so the least we can offer each other is a refuge from the world where we can both feel a sense of acceptance and safety without conditions. We also really value honesty - even when being honest is really hard. We come from a place where we want to be life partners, but how does that translate into 20, 30 + years - what could our marriage look like outside of the societal norms?
Who proposed and how?
Georgie: I proposed. We were in the Middle East glamping at the Dead Sea. Nic was cooking a BBQ, we were drinking Rose, and we were swimming in our private little rock pool at sunset. What no one ever talks about is how awkward and nerve-racking it can be. There is no music playing in the background. I felt so nervous that I forgot how to speak and told Nic I 'got her a gift'. Nic responded with 'What, from the markets?' I started to cry, and Nic thought I was breaking up with her. I eventually threw the ring at her and asked her to marry me. Nic threw it back, and we eventually got there. From there, we cried for a long time and got really drunk.
I proposed to Nicole because I knew she was absolutely the best human to come into my life, and there won't be anyone like her again. I had never had a partner who met with me with honesty as she did and helped me become vulnerable. Nicole was the first female I had ever been with - neither of us expected it would be long-term. But I just knew, regardless of what expectations people had of me, that I needed to share my life with Nicole.
When did you get married?
Nov 7th 2025.
What was the main influence behind your wedding day?
Georgie and Nic: Party 365, fun, and to be honest, our wedding planner, Your Day By Chloe. We didn't want the day to feel like a token gay wedding, rather a celebration of equal love without having to name it.
What was the most important thing to you surrounding your wedding?
Georgie and Nic: We just wanted it to be a massive party. We wanted guests to feel well catered for with drinks and good music. We wanted to be able to have fun and minimise time away, which our planner/ vendors made happen.
Did you incorporate any family sentiments or traditions?
Nic: Georgie incorporated many family heirlooms into the styling. Otherwise, we were not particularly focused on traditions.
Where did you find the bulk of your inspiration?
Georgie and Nic: CHLOE.
Where did you spend your honeymoon?
Georgie and Nic: Phi Phi Island, Thailand.
Any advice for other couples planning their day and finding it difficult to navigate the journey?
Georgie and Nic: Hire Chloe!! and enjoy the moments. Everyone says this, but it goes too quickly.
