Joanne & Dane: A Summer Butterfly-Themed Wedding in Manly, NSW
![]()
Dane chose Joanne’s engagement ring himself. “I had never really thought much about what kind of ring I’d like and we had never discussed it, so he just went by his own judgement!” says Joanne. His judgement was right… well, almost. “I absolutely loved it, although it was about four sizes too big for me. Apparently he tried to measure my ring finger while I was sleeping by holding it in between his index finger and thumb!”
The bride: Joanne Meehan, 30, childcare worker
The groom: Dane Atterbury, 30, sous chef
The date: 9 January
The Quarantine Station, which is right across the harbour from their home, was the ideal place for their wedding. They loved the uniqueness of the venue and the privacy it provided their 43 guests.
