We’re so grateful you’re joining us — here’s everything you’ll need to make the most of the day⇩
Two hearts, one beautiful journey...
It all began one summer afternoon at Mona Vale Beach, seven years ago. I was swimming with my daughter, Rhea, when a super happy guy with the brightest smile swam up to us and called out, “こんにちはー！日本人ですか？ (Hi! Are you Japanese?)”
Rhea said, “Oh! That’s Marley’s dad!” — the girls knew each other from the same school choir.
We didn’t get to exchange contact details that day, but the universe had other plans. Even though we lived just a minute apart, it took almost a month before we ran into each other again on the beach. This time, Justin made sure to get my number!
Our first coffee date at the Mona Vale Beach Café on February 22, 2018 marked the start of something that felt truly meant to be. Since then, we’ve shared joy, laughter, and challenges that have helped us grow stronger — both as individuals and as a couple.
This wedding isn’t just a celebration of our love, but of all those who have been part of our story.
That means you. 🤍

Q & A
Your presence at our wedding is truly the greatest gift, and celebrating together means everything to us.

Please check your invitation to see if a +1 has been included.
We adore children, but we kindly ask that this be an adults-only celebration. We’ll have our dogs around (who can be a bit unpredictable with little ones) and alcohol served throughout the day — we’d love for everyone to relax and enjoy without worry. 🤍
It is predicted to be a little hot day with a chance of rain in the afternoon. walking up the hill can make you feel hot, so it might be a good idea to bring your outfit and get changed once you arrive. We want everyone to feel comfortable and relaxed before the celebration begins.
Please plan to arrive at least 30 minutes early so you don’t miss a moment of the ceremony.
You’re also more than welcome to come earlier if you’d like to freshen up or get ready at the venue.
Dress to celebrate! Semi-formal or cocktail attire is perfect. Since it’s summer, breathable fabrics and comfortable shoes are a good idea.
Our wedding will be held at our home, with both indoor and outdoor spaces to enjoy.
Ladies, a friendly heads-up — please avoid stiletto heels!
There are grassy and uneven areas, so we recommend block heels, wedges, or dressy sandals instead. We’d hate for anyone to ruin their shoes (or twist an ankle!).
Yes, please do! We’d love for you to capture the moments and share them on Instagram using our hashtag #JKWedding222 🤍
We can't wait to share our special day with you!
“The best gift is your presence.”
Yay! Your RSVP has been sent.
