From Tinder Swipe to “I Do”
Indy & Braiden
Their Love Story
Every great modern love story begins with a swipe... and then sometimes, absolute silence. That’s exactly how Indy and Braiden’s story started. They matched on Tinder back in 2020, shared a moment of potential, and then... nothing. No messages, no awkward “hey” texts, no spark… yet.
But as fate (and social media algorithms) would have it, a few months later Braiden did what any determined man with Wi-Fi would do, he slid into Indy’s DMs. One invite later, Indy found herself walking into what she thought would be a casual hangout. Instead, she stepped straight into what could only be described as a small music festival inside Braiden’s unit... about 50 people, music pumping, and one very persistent host trying to impress her.
She lasted about 30 minutes before heading to another party, but something clicked that night. The messages didn’t stop. Daily chats turned into inside jokes, banter turned into connection, and before long, they were inseparable.
Their differences made them perfect. Braiden, the loud, social, life-of-the-party type, and Indy, the calm, grounded, quietly funny one. Together they found balance. He brought the energy, she brought the peace (and, let’s be honest, better restaurant choices).
Speaking of restaurants, their first “nice Italian dinner” ended up being at a takeaway pizza shop, surrounded by kids in soccer uniforms. Romantic? Maybe not. Memorable? Absolutely. It was the kind of story they’d laugh about for years... proof that love isn’t about perfection, it’s about the person sitting across from you at the dodgy pizza counter.
From chaotic dates to buying their first home in Cronulla, to planning a proposal so nerve-wracking that Braiden started drinking at 10:30 AM (for courage, of course), their story is a perfect mix of laughter, loyalty, and a whole lot of love.
A Little About the Celebration
Their wedding at Ricky's in Noosa was everything their relationship represents... fun, heartfelt, and beautifully authentic. Surrounded by their closest friends and family, Indy and Braiden promised forever in the most relaxed, sun-drenched setting imaginable.
Their ceremony had the perfect mix of humour and emotion. Braiden’s grin said it all as Indy walked down the aisle... pure disbelief that this incredible woman was about to become his wife.
From there, the celebration rolled into laughter, dancing, and plenty of happy tears. The speeches had everyone wiping their eyes one minute and snorting with laughter the next. The sunset over Noosa Main Beach painted the perfect backdrop for their film, the golden light wrapping around them as they shared a quiet moment away from the crowd.
If you ever needed proof that love thrives in laughter, this wedding was it.
