The North Nowra couple met in 2010 at the age of 16, as Jess was on her way to Nowra Christian School and Matt was off to St John’s. 

Seven years later on April 2, 2017 they tied the knot before 120 of their family and friends, including Jess’ parents Andrew and Alison Bowe and Matt’s parents, Michael and Kelley Crowe of Culburra.

The pair married at Jess’ parents property in Cambewarra. The date proved to be extra special, with Matt's grandparents also celebrating their wedding anniversary on the same day.

Bridesmaids were Elyza, Katie, Natasha and Amy. Groomsmen were Nick, Lachlan, Richard and ‘Cheeze Man’. 

The couple enjoyed their honeymoon at Abercrombie Ridge and Sydney, with Matt managing to squeeze in a quick business dinner while there. 

Jess said the entire day was ‘amazing’ and thanked everyone who celebrated with them and helped bring the day together, including her cousin Elyza Bowe from Ivy Lane Florals who created the stunning flower arrangements.
