Mary McQuillan & Andrew Robertson

November 18, 2023

Come get wild with us!

Welcome to our wedding website – we’re so glad you’re here.

We’ve created this website for you to RSVP and as a helpful resource for all of the need-to-know details in the lead up to our big day. Here you’ll find our schedule of timings and venue directions, along with our introductions and relationship history.

We’d love for you to take a look around to learn more about our wedding day plans. Don’t forget to RSVP, let us know about any dietary preferences and leave us a song request for the dance floor, too!

Finally, we thank you for all of your love and support so far! We can’t wait to celebrate with you.

The Proposal

Andrew surprised Mary on a red lichen covered rock in The Bay of Fires, Tasmania with a beautiful ring. Of course she said yes- she already knew she would spend her life with him with or without a ring!

FAQs

Can I bring my kiddies?

As much as we love your little ones, this will be an adults-only celebration (newborns are an exception and warmly welcomed). We hope this advance notice means you’re able to let your hair down and celebrate with us on the day!

Can I take photos on the day and post them on social media?

Most certainly! Please share the love and tag us #zimgetsmaryd 
We will ask that you keep your phones away during the ceremony so we can see your lovely faces in our professional photos of the day ;) 

Who can I contact with any additional questions?

Call or message either of us if you have any questions before the day.
