Natalie, a marketing manager at Macquarie Telecom, looked glamorous in a detailed off-the-shoulder gown as she exchanged vows with her groom in an outdoor ceremony.

The party then continued the following day with the couple getting married in a romantic ceremony.
Bachelor star Anna Heinrich and her husband Tim Robards were in attendance.
Anna looked glamorous in a $1099 dress by Rebecca Vallance as she celebrated her friend Natalie's wedding.
Tim looked dapper for the occasion in a black tuxedo, white buttoned shirt, bow tie and a pair of shiny black shoes.
'Che matrimonio incredibile! One of the most incredible weddings I've been too. So much love @missnataliekelly The most stunning bride,' Anna wrote.
The couple were also joined by Nadia Adelstein and her partner Alex Toohey as well as Anna's sister Andrea.
They partied with their friends at the incredible venue after witnessing the couple tie the knot in an romantic ceremony.
Before arriving in Sorrento, Anna and Tim enjoyed a loved-up holiday in Puglia in the country's southwest.
The picture-perfect locale also provided the backdrop for the couple's lavish 2018 nuptials.
Anna and Tim tied the knot at the Masseria Potenti hotel, among the olive groves and vineyards of the Puglian countryside, five years after falling in love on The Bachelor.
The bride looked absolutely breathtaking in her couture Steven Khalil dress while being walked down the aisle by her father, Les Heinrich.
Tim proposed to Anna with a '$173,000' ring in May 2017 while on holiday in the Kimberley, Western Australia.
The lovebirds first met in 2013 during the first season of The Bachelor Australia.
After saying 'I do', the couple welcomed their first child, daughter Elle, in November, 2020, and their second child, daughter Ruby, in March, 2024.
Anna revealed in 2024 that she has no plans to have a third child after her life-threatening birth complications with baby daughter Ruby.
After delivering her second child, she was rushed to emergency surgery when she faced sudden and severe postpartum bleeding.
Anna told Daily Mail Australia she 'appreciates life more' since the harrowing experience, and has no plans to have a third child in the future.
'I'm lucky to have always wanted two children. So I definitely don't want any more children. I'm really done at two, but I definitely think it would scare people,' she said.
'Even when I was speaking with my obstetrician, he was like, "Okay, probably no more children for you, Anna."'
'It was quite traumatic at the time, but at the same time it puts life in perspective,' she continued.
'It puts your family and everything in perspective and how lucky you are to be here and have two amazing kids and a partner. I appreciate life more coming out of that.'

‘I gave Tom Cruise an impromptu organ lesson!' Anna Lapwood on her classical mashups – and her all-night Prom
At midnight, at least one night a week, Anna Lapwood ascends the stairs to the Royal Albert Hall's organ loft and climbs on to its bench. Safe in the knowledge that the audience for that evening's show have all dispersed, she starts playing the venue's enormous Henry Willis organ, all 10,000 pipes of it. Often, she's still going at five or six in the morning. 'It's the only downtime you get to practise,' she says. Occasionally, some celebrity from an aftershow party will be lured by her playing. 'It's how I met Benedict Cumberbatch,' she says with a laugh. 'And there was the time I gave Tom Cruise an impromptu organ lesson, after that live orchestral screening of Top Gun: Maverick. And Ludovico Einaudi, who came up and improvised something with me. And the band Wet Leg, who had a go on the organ. Sometimes it's curious cleaners or security staff who'll come up and chat and want to have a play. It's a lovely vibe.' Lapwood's followers on social media – including more than 1 million on Instagram and 1.2 million on TikTok – have long wanted to witness her in this late-night environment. Now, finally, she has found a way to make it happen. Next month, Lapwood will curate the first all-night Prom in over 40 years. 'It will be an explosion of energy. I'll be conducting a choir and playing the organ, but there will also be a whole load of other artists, like the pianist Hayato Sumino, or the fantastic Norwegian ensemble Barokksolistene – people in the Arctic know about performing during the night!' It's tempting to picture this Prom, which will run from 11pm until 7am, as a giant chill-out room. Not at all, says Lapwood. 'I hope that no one will be asleep!' she exclaims. 'And I hope people won't be dipping in and out. There will be two breaks. We're trying to make sure that there are rest areas – not sleeping areas! – and lots of coffee and snacks. The idea is that people will settle in, stay awake and enjoy all of it.' The event kicks off the next stage in Lapwood's sensational career. Still only 29, she has become the hottest property in classical music: a media-friendly, globally popular ambassador for her instrument and the genre. We meet in the 350-year-old chapel at Pembroke College, Cambridge, designed by Christopher Wren, which has been Lapwood's workplace since 2016 when, aged 21, she became the youngest ever director of music at an Oxbridge college. It's where she taught, rehearsed with choirs, led evensong and supervised two organ scholars. But the role became increasingly difficult to maintain in the light of her other commitments, which is why she made the 'gut-wrenching' decision to leave this summer. 'I've been doing admin on planes, marking homework while travelling to gigs, racing back from recording sessions to conduct choirs. And it's difficult for me to tell my students that they need to have a healthy work/life balance when they see me operating like this.' It leaves Lapwood free to pursue other ambitions. As well as her contract with Sony Records and her new role as associate director at the Albert Hall, she has a packed concert schedule over the next two years, including another recital at LA's Walt Disney Concert Hall (her first was a sell-out), a collaboration with Jonny Greenwood in Manchester (another all-nighter next February) and concerts everywhere from Bristol to Budapest, Nuremberg to New York. 'Venues used to want a confirmed setlist years in advance. I've tried to encourage more flexibility. I now just say 'programme includes' and list a couple of works – it's important that I'm able to play the music that I'm currently excited about, and get a bit spontaneous.' One noticeable feature of Lapwood's concerts is that, unlike most conductors or soloists, she talks to her audiences. Why does she do this? 'Partly because I'm stuck up in the organ loft, and I need to connect with people. Mainly, I want to break people into classical music, and it's essential to provide some sort of context and convey my enthusiasm. But every performer does things differently. Some conductors feel it's a distraction. It's a personal choice.' Last year Lapwood was at the centre of a mini furore for saying she welcomed people filming her concerts and uploading footage to social media. 'Again, It has to be the choice of the performer,' she says. 'Going on to the stage requires a lot of bravery, and you need to feel comfortable. Some people hate being filmed. I like it.' That hasn't always been the case. 'There was a time when I felt that I was always having to prove myself, a constant fear I'd mess up,' she admits. 'The main problem was that I was playing an entirely classical programme, the likes of Bach and Widor and Messiaen. Much as I love all those composers, I didn't want to play just them. It's only since I've started incorporating my own transcriptions of film scores into my sets that I have started to genuinely enjoy playing live.' Soundtracks have become a crucial part of Lapwood's repertoire. 'I was always acutely aware of how soundtracks could affect your emotional state. I found myself rewinding DVDs and transcribing scores, note for note, working out why they moved me. Now I've started turning those transcriptions into organ arrangements. You have to follow what makes your heart sing.' She has recorded and performed film themes by John Powell, Rachel Portman and, in particular, Hans Zimmer, and wants to do more by the likes of James Newton Howard, Harry Gregson-Williams and Nainita Desai. 'It was always my ambition to write music for film. I'd love to write a soundtrack for the organ, because it's never been done, and it's such a versatile instrument.' Lapwood's most recent album, Firedove, mixes many of her enthusiasms. It opens with her arrangement of Alan Menken's theme from Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame and ends with two pieces by real-life organists at Notre Dame de Paris: a fiendish scherzo by Louis Vierne and preludes and fugues by Maurice Duruflé. There are modern minimalist pieces she has commissioned by Poppy Ackroyd, Hania Rani and Ola Gjeilo; a touch of Zimmer, a hymnal choral arrangement of a Bob Dylan song and a bombastic mashup of Robbie Williams's Angels and Widor's Toccata. 'It sounds like I've arranged it thematically, but it's literally just a load of music that I'm excited by, held together by the thread of the organ sound.' Lapwood has no composing credits on any of her eight albums to date, something she wants to rectify. 'My composing brain is slowly waking up,' she says. 'I'm just getting comfortable enough to start writing for the organ. I loved composing when I was little, but then I got a low grade in a harmony and counterpoint exam and was told I couldn't continue composition. Which is nonsense!' Instead the young Lapwood put all her efforts into learning as many instruments as she could get her hands on. By the age of 18 she had reached grade-eight standard on the piano, violin, viola, harp and organ, and taught herself a dozen other instruments. 'I'd hear my older brother playing the flute and I'd nick his instrument and his tuition book. I'd buy cheap instruments from junk shops – guitars, cornets, drum kits – and learn from beginners books. It's like languages. The more you learn, the easier each one gets.' So immersed was she in mastering instruments that she didn't have much time to listen to music – something surprisingly common among musical prodigies. 'Schoolfriends found it hilarious that I couldn't tell the difference between Justin Bieber and Beyoncé,' she laughs. 'It was like I lived under a rock.' She remembers sharing the musical tastes of her father, a vicar turned teacher who would listen to evangelical hymns and 'quite bland popular classics' by the likes of Aled Jones and violinist Vanessa-Mae. 'It's why I never sneer at anyone's musical tastes,' she says. 'When I started working with choirs, people were like, 'How could you not know these big hits of the choral world?' But every area of music has its own smash hits, and all musicians have their blindspots.' Lapwood's blindspots have become a running joke on the Radio 4 cross-genre music show Add to Playlist, on which she is a frequent guest. She often admits to never having heard anything by the likes of, say, Adele, Justin Timberlake, the Rolling Stones or Keith Jarrett. She confesses that, in the past, she has been guilty of being musically incurious. She even admits she has not heard any of Dudley Moore's jazz recordings, despite being one of his successors as an organ scholar at Magdalen College, Oxford, and having her name listed beneath his on a plaque in the chapel's organ loft. 'Sometimes, the amount of music I need to deal with just for work is exhausting,' she says. 'You can't listen to everything.' She relaxes, she says, by putting on the same Melody Gardot playlist she has listened to for years, and by watching trash TV like Australian Masterchef, or by cooking the same dishes day after day ('I'm currently in a shakshuka phase'). 'It is easy to get stuck in a rut, which is why I love being forced into learning about new areas of music.' Often this happens in public, such as when she guested on the organ with the electronica outfit Bonobo, or performed in a Ministry of Sound concert – both went viral. 'You suddenly learn about a new sound world, and appreciate different technical skills. All these musical barriers – barriers that I had enforced on myself – disappear. It's like, for some reason, my parents never cooked bacon. I went through my childhood thinking I'd hate bacon. Then, at university, I had a bacon sandwich, which was a eureka moment! It's why I'm increasingly open to all types of music.' Firedove by Anna Lapwood is out now on Sony Classical. Her new single, An Irish Blessing, with the Pembroke College Chapel Choir, will be released on 1 August. The late-night BBC Prom, From Dark Till Dawn, is at the Royal Albert Hall, London, from 11pm on 8 August

30 things you'll definitely remember if you went on holiday as a kid in the 80s and 90s
CHEAP Ryanair flights, AirBnb, iPads - holidays of today are practically unrecognisable from the 1980s and 90s. Back in the day, you were more likely to spend 10 hours sweltering in the air con-free car as your dad drove across the whole of France, with two cassette tapes for company the whole way. 5 If that's making you feel nostalgic, we've asked all the Millenials and Gen X-ers we know about their best (or worst) memories of holidaying abroad in the Eighties and Nineties. 1. Ridiculously long flight delays that were like two days of waiting. 2. Not being to wear any of your clothes for at least six weeks before going away as they were 'for holiday'. 3. Smoking on the plane - and being just five years old and sitting in the smoking section. 4. Shell suits to travel in, along with dayglow 80s leisurewear as well as jelly shoes, tasseled t-shirts and bermuda shorts. 5. Only having five cassettes tapes to play on rotation and then fighting over the cassette player in the car. Or having to just listen to local French/Spanish radio stations (and hearing bands like Vengaboys a year before the UK. 6. Buying your holiday off Teletext or from the classified ads at the back of the newspaper and having no idea where you are staying. 7. Severe sunburn in a desperate attempt to tan - and only parents only using Factor 2 suncream or even tanning oil. And then peeling sunburnt skin off your body including your face. 8. Always getting an ear infections from the pool. 9. Being terrified of drinking the tap water. Look around historic 200-year-old lido with stunning seaside views abandoned for decades 10. Being mystified by how to use you the French squat loos. 11. The smell of diesel and vomit when using the cross Chanel ferries. 12. Buying 200 fags in duty free, as well as knives, straw donkeys and dolls in local custom dress as souvenirs. 13. Naked Germans playing volleyball on a none nudist beach in France 14. Discovering calamari for the first time on holidays. 15. French milk which was always disgusting but there was no other option for your cereal. 16. Sleeping in the boot of the car on long journeys. 17. Foreign currency such as Francs and Pesetas - or even travellers cheques. 18. Having to make the most of the most basic games such as Travel Battleship, Connect Four and Space Invaders, or those early Nintendo games like Snoopy Tennis. 5 5 5 19. Parents having to change the colour of headlights and stick the GB stickers on car. 20. Spending all your holiday money on a hair wrap . 21. Your dad squeezing into a pair of budgie-smuggler speedos. 22. Being jealous of people with air con cars after having to get out yourself to cool down because of the sweltering journeys. 23. Getting left on the beach because there were so many kids. 24. Having no seat allocation on the plane but being able to take as may suitcases as you want. 25. Pez dispensers in France, long strips of individual sweets you can buy, giant red baby dummies made of rock. 26. Putting Sun In or lemon juice in your hair so it would go blonde. 27. Having pen pals that you would write to all summer then never again. 28. Getting the massive map out in the car which took up the whole space to find out where on earth you were going. 29. Having to buy phone cards or find the nearest internet cafe. 30. Buying a copy of the Sun from two days ago to find out the football scores.

The dangerous mistakes you're making before a holiday including what shoes NEVER to wear on a flight – from a travel pro
A TRAVEL whizz has warned holidaymakers to steer clear of airport charging stations and it's not just to avoid a dodgy socket. Pollyann Giffin, 40, says 'juice jacking', a sneaky form of hacking, could ruin more than just your holiday. 4 The scam sees hackers use public USB ports to access your phone, swipe your data or infect it with malware and you'd never know until it's too late. Pollyann, who's racked up over two decades of travel experience, shared her top travel tips with her 14,000 Instagram followers and the clip has already notched up more than 37,000 views. She said: 'I used to be a very anxious traveller and love to be prepared. 'I research a lot and I've also learned a lot through personal experiences- good and bad. 'As a teacher I love to help people learn and be prepared for their own travels. 'If they can learn from my mistakes and not have to make them themselves, great!' Here are Pollyann's top tips. She said: 'It's called juice jacking - a sneaky way hackers can access your data through public USB charging stations. 'Once connected, they can install malware or steal personal info without you even knowing.' BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU EAT AND DRINK Pollyann said: 'Avoid carbonated drinks mid-flight - lower cabin pressure makes gas expand, leading to bloating and discomfort. 'I'm jumping with joy' say Dublin Airport passengers as another new food spot 'officially lands' in Terminal One 'Also avoid gassy veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts before your flight. 'These fibre-rich foods ferment in your gut and produce gas, which expands even more at high altitudes thanks to cabin pressure. 'The result? Bloating, discomfort, and a not-so-fun flight. 'Opt for easy-to-digest snacks like bananas, white rice, or yogurt before boarding to keep your tummy happy and your flight comfortable.' APPROPRIATE FOOTWEAR The expert said: 'Don't wear sandals on the plane. 'And closed shoes protect your feet from germs, dropped items, and spills - plus, they're safer in emergencies.' BE COURTEOUS OF OTHER PEOPLE Pollyann warned: 'Be aware of your surroundings. 'Whether it be in the airport or in a new city, be aware of your volume, body and others who are trying to navigate in the same space.' DO NOT OVERPACK She said: 'Don't overpack your carry-on. 'If you can't lift it into the overhead bin yourself, it's too heavy - a bag that's too heavy puts you and others at risk and flight attendants are not required to help.' Holiday packing tips Jemma Solomon, aka The Label Lady has got 5 packing tips to help you get organised for your next holiday. 1. Write a list Think about all the essentials you need to take with you; suncream, medicine, a few games for the kids, beach towels, and write everything in one list, which you can tick off as you add it to your suitcase. Or for complete ease, try Google's AI app - Gemini - which will create a list for you and help you not over pack. 2. Involve your kids Jemma said: 'My girls are getting older, they're 11 and nine, and they enjoy helping to pack. So I send them a list, and say 'this is what you need' and they follow the list. 'And then I give them a rucksack each - and say to them 'you can have whatever you want in there as long as it's not liquid', and they can take that on the plane. And that's their 'home away from home' items.' 3. Try a hack or two She said: "I think they all work, but for different reasons - and you've just got to pick the right one for your trip. "Rolling your clothes is really good to stop your clothes from getting creases. And if you're trying to get a lot of items into your case, it's a space saver. 'Packing cubes are great - for example, I'm going on holiday with my three kids and we're all using the same suitcase for our clothes. "These handy compartments let you separate your clothes, toiletries and tech into designated cubes, maximising luggage space by keeping your items compressed and neatly stacked. "I love taking them abroad with the family and it means my kids can easily take charge of their own items once we've arrived." 4. Decant beauty products Do you really need to take full-size bottles of shampoo and conditioner with you? The beauty industry has evolved so much, you can now buy shampoo bars or sheets - which are much lighter and smaller. Or, if you'll be popping to the shops when you're abroad, consider buying some items when you arrive. 5. Get organised before you come home Jemma said: 'When you repack on holiday [before coming home], the trick is to separate clean from dirty clothes. 'Also pack it in some form of order - so lights, darks, colours for items that need washing, or if you wash your clothes by person in the household, piles for each person. "Then you can put it straight into the washing machine. Do it straight away, don't leave it." ENJOY EVERY MOMENT Finally the expert dropped her most crucial tip: 'Put the phone away sometimes. 'You don't need to document every moment - being present is what makes a trip special. 'Do at least one thing off the beaten path. 'Skip some Instagram suggested spots and find something that feels like your discovery.' With summer travel in full swing, Pollyann's tips are a handy reminder to stay smart and prepared and to fly safe this season. 4 4
