Q&A with Kay-Leigh

I was fascinated by the concept after watching the US and Australia versions. I joked with my mom saying that I'd enter if there was a local one and she actually sent me the application form a week or two later. I didn't complete it until sometime after receiving it and the rest is history!

My mouth went dry and I thought they were joking at first. But then I got really excited that my potential match had been found.

Walking down the aisle was nerve-wracking and when I saw Wesley I thought ‘Holy crap! That's him’ and then ‘don't faint’.

I think you take the dating period for granted. I know singletons always say that dating is exhausting but it gives you the opportunity to ease into things. You get to dip your toe into the water whereas marriage is one big bomb drop!

I don't think I would have done anything differently. Of course you think of situations that could have been dealt with a particular way after the fact, but that's part of any relationship and if you can learn and grow from it than it has served its purpose.

Don't wear such and a tight bodice - being able to breathe when you meet your husband is important!

Communication and trust - if you have these, all the other requirements for a successful marriage will fall into place.

Wesley had to help me out of my wedding dress after knowing me for only a few hours. I was just trying not to flash him in the process!

I've learnt a tremendous amount about myself throughout the process and it has solidified the fact that I have incredible people in my life.

What love means to me… it's about taking a risk on someone because your heart says so. It's constantly deciding to chose one person no matter what. When the butterflies fade and the sparkle dims, you're still exactly where you want to be with the person you'd risk it all for.
