Weddings

Brittany Kerr (YG 2012) and her husband Mo Walipoor were married on the 11 January 2020.  It was a beautiful summer day and they were married at Brittany’s parent farm, surrounded by friends and family, including D’arcy Ryder (YG 2012), who was the MC, and the family dog – Sammy, who really stole the show. “We DIY’d a lot of the wedding which added so much character to the day – from the wedding arch that my dad hand made, to the flowers that were put together from foliage freshly picked from around the farm that same morning.”
