The Dirty Dancing lift at Jennifer Hurst and Adam Evans’ big day sets a new bar for first dances.
“When I suggested that we have our wedding dance choreographed, Adam was straight on board,” says Jennifer, 26. “So off to lessons we went! Our instructor even taught us the Dirty Dancing lift to throw in there.”
Jennifer married Adam, 25, on February 8, 2014 at Raffertys Resort in Cams Wharf, NSW. Their lakeside wedding provided the perfect venue for guests to enjoy a long weekend of celebrations.
“Most of the guests stayed at the resort the day before the wedding, giving us the chance to laze around the pool with the barbecue going,” says Jennifer.
The couple were nervous about completing their dance after a few beverages but conveniently they got it out of the way early. “The next thing we know we were being announced as Mr and Mrs at the reception,” explains Jennifer. “We walked straight into our dance! The perfect solution so we could enjoy the rest of the night.”
But that wasn’t the only important groove for the night – there was the father-daughter dance. “My dad is the most important person in my life as he has raised me on his own. I wouldn’t be where I am today without him.”
The bridesmaids’ dresses with sweetheart necklines were purchased online.
“It was straight off chasing the pelicans for some incredible photography!” laughs Jennifer.
The Event Decorators helped the happy couple create a crisp, simple reception design.
Jennifer and Adam headed to the Maldives and Dubai for their honeymoon.
