Sneak a peek at the Qualischefski wedding
When Peter Mcdiarmid tured up late to a wedding, he had no idea his life was about to change forever.
He had caught the eye of Victoria Qualischefski, who was singing at the wedding and thought Peter might have been crashing the party.
Fast forward three years, to November 2018, when Victoria and Peter pledged to be true to each other until their last day.
Victoria said she knew she would spend the rest of her life with Peter when they found themselves at the ‘love tree’ on Phi Phi Island, while on a visit to Thailand.
“Peter is a warm, sincere person who likes to see the best in people,” Victoria said.
For Peter, it was Victoria’s outgoing and witty personality that did the trick.
“Except for her dad jokes,” he laughed.
The pair got engaged at La Pizzaiola, where they’d had their first date, and eventually tied the knot at Lake Cooby.
“It was a clear, sunny day, with a beautiful sunset over the water,” Victoria said.
The wedding had a Scottish theme (complete with clansmen in kilts) and a classic white colour scheme, with rose gold accents.
Peter’s uncle added a unique touch to their nuptials, by playing the bagpipes while good friends of theirs sang and played guitars.
Yet another musical element was added by Peter’s cousin, when he surprised the newlyweds by playing a didgeridoo during their first dance. Possibly the most special moment for Victoria, was seeing their baby daughter on Peter’s shoulders, dancing with her dad.
The Mcdiarmids honeymooned in Noosa and hope to be blessed with a sibling for little Lily in 2020. They urge couples to only focus on the important things (the people) when planning their wedding.
