SA couple's wedding vinyl returns home after 56 years and 10,000km trek
When Dorothy Nicholls married Max Samuel on January 25, 1969, a church full of friends and family heard them exchange their vows. But there was someone else listening in the congregation that Saturday evening — a sound recordist who captured their entire wedding service on a vinyl record. Now, 56 years and 10,000 kilometres later, that record has come full circle and found its way back to the Samuel family in South Australia. Max and Dorothy's daughter, Heidi Samuel, who lives in Tailem Bend, had no idea her late parents had recorded their wedding service until she saw a Facebook post. The post came from a stranger, Barney Tompkins, who lives in Western Australia's south west. Barney had found the vinyl recording of Max and Dorothy's nuptials in a Vinnies op shop while holidaying in Darwin. Fascinated by his discovery, Barney took the record back to WA, and started his quest to locate the family of the couple whose vows were etched in vinyl. Thanks to the power of social media, Barney was able to return the record to its rightful owner. A friend shared his original post in Adelaide, then a friend of theirs shared it, and so on, until it was eventually shared on a local residents' page and reached Heidi. When she saw the names of the married couple Barney was searching for — Dorothy K. Nicholls and Max S. Samuel — Heidi contacted him and claimed the record on behalf of her late parents. Barney, who has a self-described passion for vinyl records, including curiosities like the Samuels' wedding recording, admitted to Heidi that he hadn't listened to it. "I don't know whether it's just me, but it didn't seem quite right." However, when Heidi gave him her blessing to play the record, he gave it a spin. "It was just really, really lovely to hear the emotion in their voices, the nerves in their voices," Barney said. Getting the vinyl to South Australia presented some challenges, however. "Sending records during the Australian summer is always a bit risky … but this one being so special, I would have hated for something to happen to it in transit," Barney said. Once the weather cooled down, Barney finally sent the record east. Heidi said hearing her parents saying their marriage vows was deeply emotional. "Sometimes you see your parents as a different sort of person, not actually as a young human, you know, with nerves and excitement and all that. Heidi said she planned to play the recording for her extended family. "We'll be sharing it with my aunties. Both my mum's and dad's sisters are still alive, so we'll be sharing it with them," she said. The recording of wedding ceremonies onto vinyl records was most popular during the 1960s and 1970s, before the rise of video cameras. But they were not commonplace, so Barney was thrilled when he found the Samuels' vinyl. However, there remains a mystery about how and why the record ended up in Darwin. What is known is that the recording was made at the Strathalbyn Lutheran Church, about 55km south-east of Adelaide, where the Samuels were married at 6pm on Saturday, January 25, 1969. What happened to the record after that, and over the following 56 years, remains a mystery to Heidi. "But it's lovely it was Barney who found it."

Delta Goodrem reveals fifth all-white wedding look as she continues to celebrate her big day
Delta Goodrem has shown off a fifth all-white wedding dress that she wore while celebrating her wedding. Goodrem married Matthew Copley at a 12th century cathedral in Malta, where he proposed, and wore three gowns by two of her favourite Australian designers when she walked down the aisle last month. In the latest pictures shared to her Instagram, Goodrem gave further insight into her celebrations where she was surrounded by her closest friends and family. In the romantic snaps, Goodrem posed against a stunning scenic backdrop before being joined by her new hubby as the pair both flashed a satisfied smile. 'I always knew what I wanted my wedding dress to be,' she told Vogue earlier this month. 'And I knew the perfect designer for it. Paul [Vasileff, creative director and designer of Paolo Sebastian] and I connected the second I got engaged, and we started working together immediately. I am very lucky I get to wear beautiful dresses as part of my job, so I wanted this one to feel super personal and very special.' The resulting lace gown 'was structured, yet still delicate and feminine', Goodrem said. 'It was a statement piece but a fairytale dress. The sweeping train and the tulle cathedral veil perfectly suited the style of the wedding and the surroundings.' Goodrem first shared snaps from her wedding when she took to social media earlier this month to first announce her big day. 'June 2025, Husband and Wife. It was more magical than we both could have dreamed,' she wrote. 'We said I do under the Maltese skies in a family fairytale wedding brought to life by so many angels surrounding us. We are holding on to every memory from that moment, the love, the laughter, the happy tears and dancing till the sun came up.' She added: 'We can't wait to come back to Australia and celebrate as Mr & Mrs.' Goodrem's near-decade-long relationship with Copley followed a string of high-profile romances with other celebrities – including Nick Jonas, Brian McFadden and Mark Philippoussis – earlier in her career.

Aussie groom's 7-word statement at his wedding has divided people online
An Aussie groom dropping the F-word while giving a glowing compliment towards his beautiful bride has divided social media. Entrepreneur James Hachem, who is a founder of the skincare brand Alya Skin and clothing brand Sasha Therese, wed social media influencer Antonia Apostolou in a lavish ceremony in Italy in June. The wedding, which has been posted on both the bride and groom's social media accounts, is completely over-the-top and beautiful. The bride wore a classic white gown with a stunning veil, and the groom looked dapper in a black and white suit. The influencer, in true influencer fashion, shared a snippet of their vows on her TikTok account, where she has over 4 million likes and more than 100,000 followers. 'Aussies in the middle of their elegant Italian wedding,' she jokingly captioned the clip. The video then showed Mr Hachem, who was featured on the Forbes ' 30 Under 30 list in 2021, disrupting their vows to take a moment to gush about his new bride. 'F**k me does she not look insane?' he asked the wedding guests. Ms Apostolou, who has already changed her name to Ms Hachem on social media, was seen laughing at her groom's grand statement, and the crowd also laughed along, clapping and cheering. The ceremony then started, and the groom appeared to be overcome with emotions as the marriage celebrant began to speak/ That 7-word remark, though, has quickly divided people online, amassing over 500,000 views in the process. Some people absolutely loved Mr Hachem's cheeky remark, with one person branding it 'gold' and another stating, 'you married the right man'. 'Best moment,' someone else said. 'He was nervous and blurted out what he thinks. Kind of cute,' another theorised. 'I feel like this could be a red flag but weird because I sort of like it too,' one person wrote, with another saying, 'this or nothing'. Someone else argued that you can tell the Aussies from the non-Aussies in the comment section based on how 'foul' they find the use of swear words. 'Can't get more Aussie than this,' another declared. On the other hand, there were other people who weren't as sold on his choice of phrasing, particularly the fact that he dropped a swear word in the middle of his wedding ceremony. 'That ruined the classy moment,' one person claimed. 'I would be mortified,' someone else said. 'I would die of embarrassment,' another wrote. One person said the video was 'proof money can't buy class', with another branding the move 'bogan'. Another person argued it was 'disrespectful' to make those kinds of remarks in front of the bride's family. Someone else said it was 'vulgar', while one claimed it gave her the 'ick'.
