Jade & Sam

Favourite memories of the day included dancing the night away.

Jade Bradey & Sam Koerner

Sam Koerner’s childhood home set the backdrop for his wedding to Jade Bradey.

The couple, who met through friends during high school, was married on February 15 at Sam’s parent’s house at Strathalbyn and they worked in the months leading up to it to ensure the garden looked perfect for the day.

“The house couldn’t have been more perfect to get married in front of,” Jade says.

“We couldn’t be happier to have got married there, as it’s where Sam grew up and I have many wonderful memories there too.”

The couple’s favourite memories of the day include celebrating with family and friends and dancing the night away.

“Everyone we know loves a boogie and everyone danced until the very end!” Jade says.

Sam proposed to Jade in May, 2023, at Woodside’s Artwine cellar door under the ruse of brunch with friends.

“Instead he had asked them to open early for the two of us,” she recalls.

“He had it set up with flowers and a sign.

“We enjoyed the moment by the fire there with a cheese platter.

“I thought after seven years together I would know when it would happen, but it was a complete surprise.”
