A romantic wedding ceremony with close family and friends on one of the holiest days of the year couldn’t have been more perfect, say a local couple who tied the knot on Christmas Day at Dingo Beach.Stacey and Belinda Hinschen say they chose Christmas Day to get married as it was a time when all family was already together.
"At first it was supposed to be a surprise," says Belinda. "But when I sent the invitations out for a Christmas party some people said they couldn’t come! So we had to tell them."
The wedding ceremony was simple yet romantic and held on the beach and included their 16-month old daughter Matilda.
"I have never seen the tide so high, I couldn’t believe it. There was hardly room to stand on the sand! But our celebrant Kieran McCarthy chose a beautiful spot under the ponsiana trees which was truly lovely," Belinda said.
The 30+ guests were then treated to a traditional Aussie Christmas dinner turned out by resident pub chef Darcy Osborne at the Dingo Beach Hotel which sadly the Hinschen’s will no longer be managing.
"It’s time for a change. We’ve been there 12 months and had a fantastic time and met a lot of great people. We’ll be there for another week or so."
"Darcy was great for coming in and giving us a hand. He didn’t have to so that was good. Also we’ve got to say thanks to Camo Marshall. He’s great," Stacey said.
