For anyone not familiar with the phrase "Photo-bombing" allow me to explain... It is simply the act of getting yourself involved in someone else's special moment without permission... A photographical gatecrasher if you will.

Apart from being an amazing wedding full of fun, laughter and love. Apart from being documented by the extremely talented (man crush moment) Mister Phill... Today's wedding that was planned in Australia and staged in Brighton features possible the most extravagant photo-bombing moment of all time... See if you can spot it

Sarah The Bride: Bernie and I got married on Friday the 31st of May 2013 at St. Mary's Catholic Church, followed by a reception at the Ginger Fox. When we started planning the wedding I think we both felt a bit overwhelmed, but in the end it really was one of the best days of my life.

Although I have lived in Australia for six years, as soon as Bernie proposed I knew I would want to get married in my home town of Brighton. It also made sense because a lot of Bernie's family live in Germany and it was a great chance for his family in Australia to get to see the UK.

It wasn't always easy planning from the other side of the world, but my sister Claire was amazing and helped us so much in getting everything organised. Every fine detail was sorted. No stone was left unturned.

I ordered my dress online from Phase Eight and only actually tried it on when we arrived in the UK a week before the wedding. I knew I didn't want to spend a fortune on a dress and loved mine as soon as I saw it. The bridesmaids' dresses were from BHS and my very talented Great Aunt from Oz made our daughter's flower girl dress.
Bernie and his best man both had the same suits from Peter Shearer and chose their ties and shirts and other accessories individually. They took much longer to choose their outfits than us girls.

For the flowers we just wanted whatever was in season and Miss Moles Flower Emporium did a fantastic job. All the arrangements looked so rustic and fresh. They looked like the flowers that were just picked out of the fields and placed into jam jars, simple and very effective. It was exactly what we wanted. My sister found Georgia, who did all of our hair for the day and she was fabulous! All I knew was I wanted flowers in my hair, and a plait and she managed to transform my very boring, very straight hair for the day. She was great fun and we loved having her as part of our preparations in the morning. Unfortunately my grandparents were unable to travel to Brighton but as my "something old" they gave me two charms for my bouquet with a picture of each of them inside. They also lent us the dove they had on their wedding cake when they got married 65 years ago.

As St. Mary's Church is on my parents' street, I walked to the church with my dad, bridesmaids and our daughter. Bernie and his groomsmen did a stroll though the Laines of Brighton before catching a cab from Brighton station to the Church. They were all able to have a pint at the pub across the road before the ceremony. I think Bernie needed it to calm his nerves. As soon as I got to the church I started to get teary. As I walked into the church and saw Bernie our families and all our closest friends I felt so happy. Bernie started to cry when he saw me, which nearly set me off. The ceremony was perfect. The church was decorated by the church florist and our music was played by the organist. Fr. Oliver did a great job and we think it was his last wedding as he was retiring the following month.

After the ceremony we all ducked over to the local pub for a quick drink before being picked up by a big old red London double decker bus. This was one of the highlights of the day. Time with our fiends and families is so precious to us so we wanted to keep everyone together. All the bridal party and guests boarded the bus and we took a scenic drive through the South Downs with sparkling wine in hand and music to suit the vintage bus ride... The party had begun. We made one stop at Devils Dyke, a scenic lookout to the fields below, there were at least half a dozen para gliders flying around. The setting was perfect for more fizz and photos. Our photographer Mister Phill did a great job but more about him later. We eventually reached the Ginger Fox for the reception. The Ginger Fox is a beautiful little traditional English Pub with a thatched roof, nestled in the countryside. It was perfect for us as it had a lovely big beer garden and play equipment for the kids, and it also had an upstairs function room which we used for the sleeping toddlers. After trying the food on their menu for lunch one day, we knew the chefs here could cater for our needs. The food was to die for and Susie (from the Ginger Fox) was so well organised and helpful. The day before the wedding we just dropped everything off and Susie and her team set up the venue to perfection. I could not believe what they were able to do considering the pub was open to the public for lunch service.

On arrival we were greeted by canapés and drinks. The guests were able to mingle in the beer garden while the kids ran wild in the play ground. After the canapés we were seated for our food. We had selected a few wines from their list and also had an open bar. The food was to die for!! We were so lucky with the weather on the big day as it had been awful all week... We decided to make the most of it and did the speeches outside, which made for some amazing photos. I also think the fresh air helped calm Bernie's nerves about giving his speech.

We ordered our wedding cake from Cloud 9 in Brighton, they did an amazing chocolate cake for us. We also had cupcakes for our favours... And I think most of the guesta ate them in their taxis on the way home!

For our first dance we had Powderfinger "Burn Your Name." Being an Australian band half the guests had never heard the sing but the words mean so much to us. There is a line in the song that says "I want every single soul to know, that I love you for what you are, so I sound the bells that praise your precious heart." I think that sums up how we feel about each other perfectly.

Mister Phill our photographer was amazing, he was there from start to finish capturing every moment perfectly. No one knew he was there as he just blended in with all the guests and snapped away. We highly recommend him for his skill in photography and his professionalism - you can tell he loves his job.
