RUUSK COUPLE: SARAH + DYLAN

As we turn the pages of Sarah and Dylan’s love story, we embark on a journey that is both heartfelt and everlasting. Their romance, which began in the vibrant halls of their university, has flourished into a decade of shared experiences and cherished memories. 

Their engagement, set against the tranquil backdrop of a cozy cottage in the bush, was a serene prelude to a wedding day brimming with personal touches and meaningful celebration. Every detail from their candlelit reception to the matching tsavorites in their wedding bands embodies the essence of their journey and the promise of their future together.

 

 

How did you meet? Or, what are some of your favourite memories of each other in the early stages of dating?

We met during our first year of Uni. We knew each other for almost 2 years before getting together. We would see each other at parties through mutual friends, liking each other for ages but not saying anything, to the point where people around us kept asking when we would get together. We have now been together for 10 years and it has been the absolute best!  

Sarah: I remember really liking Dylan and thinking he was lovely, kind, funny and very attractive. I kept thinking this for another 2 years before getting together. 

Dylan: I was instantly attracted to Sarah, found her funny and quick, and tried to spend as much time with her as I could. I loved her taste in music - Portugal, The Man, Weezer, Arctic Monkeys. I loved how headstrong she was about the important things, but she was also so easygoing and relaxed.

 

 

How did Dylan propose?

Dylan proposed in late May 2023 on a weekend away in the bush, in a cosy cottage in front of the fire. It was the loveliest weekend. On Sunday, Dylan had organised for both our families to meet at a pub in Redfern to celebrate. 

 

 

What was, or were some of, your favourite moments from your wedding?

We got ready together with our family and friends at an Airbnb on the wedding day. It was such a lovely, chill day. Our friend Lauren captured the day on camcorder and looking back already at the footage, getting ready together was so special. 

We were both a bit nervous for the ceremony, standing up in front of everyone however it ended up being one of our favourite parts of the day! Our guests gathered into the courtyard at Three Blue Ducks, I (Sarah) had my sister standing by my side, and Dyl had his brother Cameron. Once the ceremony finished, the margaritas started flowing and we had the best boozy candle lit dinner party, followed by dancing. It was so special having all our family and friends together to celebrate. We were lucky to have our amazing friend Jessica from the Golden Dandelion style the wedding with beautiful flowers, plants, fabrics and candles. 

Once the wedding was over a bunch of us headed to the pub to continue the party. 

 

 

Can you let us know how you personalised your wedding band and why this is important to you?

Dylan and I both chose tsavorite stones on our wedding bands. On my wedding band, I had diamonds to match my engagement ring, complimented with two Tsavorite stones (I loved the deep green colour so much!). 

I love wearing both of these rings together now, they tie into each other so perfectly, and connect with Dylan’s wedding band. 

 

 

We have had the pleasure of creating your beautiful engagement ring & wedding band. How has it felt to have your rings handmade for your love story?

Sarah: I love my RUUSK rings! They are the perfect mix of unique and timeless. I love that when I look at my rings, I think of the engagement, the beautiful wedding and a lifetime with Dylan. My rings are something I will have and treasure forever. 

Dylan: When ordering Sarah’s engagement ring last year, the RUUSK team were so helpful. They were extremely responsive and answered all my questions, providing photos of different gemstones, carats and sizes for the Solitaire. The delivery process was smooth and inconspicuous, allowing the proposal to remain a surprise, and the ring itself was so special.

What are you both really looking forward to in your next chapter of married life?

Can't wait for many more adventures together, and a lifetime of love.
