Kitty Loves Love

January 8, 2025

Jaymin and Sean decided to elope in their hometown of Perth, Australia, before heading to Europe for five weeks of travelling and going to rave festivals! They got hitched on a weeknight in their favourite local park, with their rescue greyhound, Moni, and just three witnesses. Afterwards, they popped into the city with their photographer where they basically recreated their first date - heading to an old school Miami style bar, to the arcades to play the first game they played together, then for ice cream just after sunset. They then met up with their mates again for dinner!
