  • Westies Weekend
Home
We met on Twitch, which still sounds slightly made up, but uh here we are. 
After meeting online, we did the long distance thang for over 2 years — which meant a lot of different time zones, a lot of phone calls, eye-wateringly high phone bills, and falling asleep on the phone together pretty much every night. Somewhere in the middle of all that, we realised we were building a whole life together from the opposite sides of the world. 
One of the biggest ways we connected was through video games, and Minecraft. Very romantic, very modern, very nerdy. We have spent HOURS building, planning, chatting, and generally being in our own tiny digital world together in pixel form. Add in a shared obsession with food, cooking, and figuring out what ethnicity are we going to make tonight's chicken. Things just pretty much escalated from there. 
These days, we still love the simple things the most — good food, good company, a bit of silliness, and creating things together.So a relaxed wedding weekend that feels warm, fun, and full of personality feels exactly right for us.
The short answer: The highland cows absolutely had us. 
The long answer is that Milk & Honey Ranch felt like the perfect place for a wedding weekend because everything is in the one spot. We love the idea of having the ceremony, reception and accommodations all together, without everyone needing to travel between different venues all day. It makes the whole weekend feel easier, more relaxed, and much more like one big gathering rather than a logistics exercise. 
The atmosphere of the ranch was a huge part of it too. It has that warm, open, laid-back Texas/Aussie feeling we wanted, and the oak tree is a pretty special bonus. But truly, let the record show: the Highland cows were a major selling point.

A few helpful notes

    We wanted the weekend to feel relaxed, easy, and fun, so the goal is less "formal production" and more "come settle in and enjoy the ranch." 
    A few things to keep in mind:
    Everything is happening on site, which means less running around and more time to actually enjoy the weekend. 
    Ceremony Location
    The ceremony will take place at the oak tree, which is a fair distance from the Ranch. Guests are advised to make their way to the ceremony via vehicle or hire a golf cart for the weekend. The driving paths are paved in the main areas, but certain areas are accessed only by dirt or gravel paths, so bringing your 1936 Ford Roadster with the lowered suspension is probably not advisable.
    Footwear
    Comfortable footwear is never a bad idea. 
    Parking & Accommodation 
    Free parking is available and can be found by following the signs to 'Check In.' You may park anywhere along the white fence between the cafe and the giant pond.We will be in touch one week before the weekend to discuss your accommodation at the ranch and allocate the best apartments that suit you. 
    International Travellers
    Make sure you have a current passport and apply for a ESTA travellers Visa HERE. They cost about $60 AUD, but are generally valid for two years and allow you to travel freely for 90 days. If you've come all this way, you should at least see the sights of Adam's Infallible Fatherland. The good news is America loves you! There is no bad news, we swear. Everything's awesome here, no complaints!

the vibe

We're aiming for a wedding weekend that feels fun, relaxed, and easy. It's not too formal, not too stiff. Definitely not the kind of event where anyone needs to pretend they're in a period drama. Jay Gatsby's not here, and he ain't coming.
Think: Laid back ranch atmosphere, good food, drinks with friends, open skies, animals and trees everywhere, and a wedding that feel like us.Expect a little bit of Texas, a little bit of Australia.
We want everyone to experience a no-pressure escape, have a great time, and enjoy the weekend with us. As a wise woman once said, "In da Clurb...We all Fam."
