Revathi & Tim’s vibrant wedding at Rupert on Rupert, Collingwood.

Like so many Melbourne couples these days, Revathi and Tim have online dating to thank for bringing them together. After swiping right on each other on Hinge, they spent a few weeks messaging before agreeing to meet in person.

Their first date was set for 12 November 2019 - a simple coffee catch-up. Tim, ever punctual, turned up early. A little too early, in fact, and dressed straight from work in his uniform. He sat down at their meeting spot and waited…
