A Wedding To Remember: Can And Jules' Special Day

Jules Robinson and Cameron Merchant, who met on the Australian reality TV show Married at First Sight, had a second wedding in Sydney in November 2019. The couple, who are arguably the biggest success story from the show, had their first wedding televised, and their second wedding was also televised and aired on an episode of Nine's A Current Affair in December 2019.

The wedding dress

Jules Robinson's wedding dress was a stunning blush-pink gown designed by Nicky Velani. The dress was constructed from over 300 metres of hand-cut pink tulle and featured ruffles.

Jules explained her decision to wear pink, rather than the traditional white, in an Instagram post: "They say you wear pink second time around. So soft beige, pale peach pink tones it was!". She also revealed that her dress was inspired by her grandmother's toilet roll holder, saying: "I always found her so glamorous as a child".

Jules wore her hair down and, for the reception, she changed into a more fitted beaded dress by the same designer.

The venue

Jules and Cam chose the venue because they wanted their fans to witness their "real wedding". They told the media:

> For us, putting our wedding and the key moments of it on TV, it’s not about money or anything like that. It’s purely about the love and support we had from the public. People are invested in our relationship and we want to show that you can find love in the craziest of places."

The couple also revealed that they had initially planned to get married on their one-year anniversary, but they cancelled the original wedding as they felt it was "too much, too soon". They wanted to enjoy the process of planning a wedding rather than rushing it.

The cake

The wedding cake was a pastel-coloured "smash cake". It was a unique and fun feature of the wedding, with Jules explaining that she had made little engraved cricket bats for Cam as a surprise. She added that incorporating cricket into their special day was an act of love, as Cam is a former cricket player. The cake was provided by official photographers, Love Day Weddings.

The bridesmaids

Jules' choice of bridesmaids caused intense media attention and gossip, but Jules was keen to ignore the rumours, focusing on her friends and family instead.

The first dance

For their first dance as a married couple, Jules and Cam performed a choreographed dance to Kylie Minogue's 'Love at First Sight'. The couple had been practising the dance routine in advance and "pulled it off".

Jules also surprised her groom by wearing a stunning feathered blush-pink tiered dress, designed by Nicky Velani. The bride explained that the choice of colour was because "traditionally you're meant to wear pink if you were married before". Cam said he was "completely shocked" and thought Jules looked "absolutely stunning".

The couple's first dance was part of their intimate and memorable wedding day, which took place at Beta Bar in Sydney's CBD. The ceremony and reception venue was filled with flowers, balloons and giant light-up letters. The couple's pastel wedding cake was also on display.
