The Rugsons

Luke, Emily, Sadie & Mavis Rugson are happy little Vegemites living somewhere in the middle of Regional Australia.

Em & Luke met on the 5th of August, 2014. On their 11th anniversary, they’re re-affirming their love & getting married.

Thank you for visiting the website for our forthcoming wedding in the Hunter Valley. We are going low-stress and low-capacity. It means a lot that you’re considering attending our wedding.

The Hunter holds a very special place in both of our hearts, and we’re overjoyed to be sharing this with those close to us. While it only took us a month or two to get engaged (we just knew), it’s taken a while for tying the knot/s to feel well-timed.

Alas, here we are! As Em becomes Elise, and us both Rugson’s.

Our two beautiful daughters will be 7 and 3 on the day of our wedding, which we think is a perfect and mischievous time for them to be there with all of us. We hope to see you in 2025.

We can’t wait to see everyone there in the Hunter.

Some photos

As you may have guessed, this website for our wedding is a bit of a work-in-progress. Please keep checking back for updates to make sure you’re up-to-date with everything.

More photos will be uploaded in due course as the wedding approaches. You can also reach out below – we’re keeping all wedding emails separated in their own account, thanks to the advice and wisdom of Emily’s sister – Leanne. ❤️

Staying overnight

Details about accommodation will be added to this site in due course – at this stage, we should have more information around NY 2023 to make sure you can book in well ahead of the wedding date.

Gift Registries

We’re in the process of working out how to tackle a gift registry. As we’ve been living together as a family for many years now, we have most essentials ticked off. If you’re eager to secure something, please get in touch so we can chat – otherwise please hold off until we’ve put a gift registry together.
