December isn’t just about the Christmas holidays. It’s also a fantastic month for romantic weddings. As the first days of December usher in the summer season, two memorable celebrity weddings have delighted Australia. 3AW Radio’s Tom Elliot and A Current Affair’s journalist Elise Mooney gave their “birthday party” guests a night to remember when later into the evening, Tom, looking handsome in his suit, escorted Elise, who had changed into her beautiful wedding gown, for their surprise wedding that excited their family and friends. Equally unforgettable is The X Factor judge Natalie Bassingthwaighte’s late-afternoon wedding to her long-time partner Cameron McGlinchey in Melbourne, witnessed by the couple’s intimate group of family and close friends.
