On Saturday 16th July, Frank and Ainslee "tied the knott" at 2.30pm at St. Ignatius Church Richmond. Ainslee had 5 attendants and 3 "princess" flowergirls.

Following the wedding the bridal party adjourned to The Abbotsford Convent for photos and then off to the beautiful Lakeside Banquet Centre in Taylors Lakes for a formal reception.
