Meghan Tapley + Daniel Petherick
Meghan and Daniel hosted their wedding day in their special place, Thistle Island off the Port Lincoln coast, where Daniel had originally asked her to be his girlfriend … and then later, his wife.
The couple flew immediate family and the bridal party to the island for a private ceremony on the balcony of the family’s house. Then they flew back to Port Lincoln to surprise 120 guests at what they all thought was the engagement party. “Thistle Island holds a truly special place in our hearts, and celebrating such a magical moment there has been unforgettable,” Meghan says. “Aviation plays a large part in our lives and to be able to fly to my wedding instead of a traditional car ride was definitely a highlight and dream I have had forever.”
