'The sun was out for us, so many big belly laughs and deep chats about life and the future.' She finished off the post: 'My heart feels so full from the incredible girlhood we've created.' Despite the excitement for her European nuptials, Dominique sadly will marry her beau a second time around without her mother, who passed away just a few weeks after walking her daughter down the aisle in a hospital ceremony. The Aussie model made headlines in March after she was forced to move her wedding ceremony to the Prince of Wales Hospital after her mother Odile Faludi's health began to decline following a stage 4 cancer diagnosis. She revealed on Instagram she was initially 'upset, angry and a mess' when she received the heartbreaking news, but decided she would stop at nothing to have her mother walk her down the aisle. Sharing images and videos of the bittersweet ceremony with her followers, Dominique and Tom made the best of their union as they celebrated with their families, who met for the first time on the big day. Dominique was all smiles as she slipped into a white off-the-shoulder gown which featured a fitted corset and sheer pleated skirts. She covered her long brunette tresses with a white lace veil which matched the lace detailing at the bust of her gown. The blushing bride kept her makeup minimal, opting for a nude lip and bronzed eye shadow. Meanwhile, now-husband Tom donned a classic black tuxedo and put a black bow tie on their golden retriever dog, and ring-bearer, Crumble. Dominique spent her day swinging between laughter and tears as she shared heartbreaking videos of her nuptials and her mother's first look at her wedding dress. One tear-jerking clip saw the model struggling to hold back tears as she hugged her mother in her hospital room. 'Don't make me cry,' Dominique sobbed as her father pressed a kiss to her forehead while her mother slowly pulled herself out of bed. Odile wore a beautiful turquoise strapless gown for the big day, walking her daughter down the aisle as her husband pushed along her wheelchair. 'My mum's dream since I was born was to walk me down the aisle and we did everything to make it happen, even if it meant getting married at the hospital,' Dominique told her followers. 'Mum always said the biggest decision you'll ever make is who you spend the rest of your life with, and that always stuck with me. 'The most emotional 48 hours of my life. I'm in awe of this incredible woman. It's international woman's day as well, and she will forever be my greatest teacher and inspiration.' Elsewhere, Dominique detailed how heartbroken she first was when she learned she had to have her wedding ceremony at the hospital. 'When we were told the day before that we had to move our ceremony to the hospital, every part of me didn't want to do the reception anymore,' she said. 'I was upset, angry and a mess. I took time away to think [about] the decision and realised it was more important than ever that our families could have time to unite and get to know each other.

Brittany Hockley dons racy two piece at her glamorous hens party aboard a yacht on Sydney Harbour ahead of Bali wedding to fiancé Ben Siegrist
Brittany Hockley is about to be a married woman. The radio host celebrated her upcoming nuptials with fiancé Ben Siegrist on Saturday with a very luxurious hens party. The 37-year-old dared to bare for the shindig, which was held aboard a yacht on Sydney Harbour. In photos shared to Instagram, Brittany looked stunning in a pearl mini skirt with a matching one-shoulder crop top. Brittany added a gold necklace that read 'Mrs' and went barefoot as she got well into the festivities. She brandished a glass of bubbly as she posed on the bough of the boat, with a gaggle of girlfriends joining the fun. 'I'M GETTING MARRIED! Deep in hens see you tomorrow' she wrote in her caption alongside the images. Brittany and her Swiss partner Ben are due to tie the knot in Bali in between June 2 and 5 with 200 guests expected. The pair will exchange vows at the Pandawa Cliff Estate in Bali which costs a whopping $6400 per night for a six person villa and includes staff and security. She will have a dress designed by A-list wedding dress designer Steven Khalil. Speaking to Daily Mail Australia at the ACRA awards in October, the radio presenter said she has set a date and is currently in the process of planning their big day. 'I'm getting married next year. I'm not telling too many secrets yet. Mitch [Churi] is of course going to be there,' Brittany began as she led the red carpet arrivals with her former KIIS FM Pickup co-host. 'Mitch actually has a starring role in the wedding.' 'Am I ring bearer?' Mitch asked her. 'Actually I'd be so pi***d off if I was just ring bearer,' he joked when asked if he'd be up for MC'ing. 'I'M GETTING MARRIED! Deep in hens see you tomorrow' she wrote in her caption alongside the images 'What do you wanna be? Husband!' Brittany responded. Brittany added she hadn't got as far as choosing which of her famous friends would be giving speeches at her l avish destination wedding in Bali. 'Probably honestly just my dad and my sister [will give speeches],' she said. However, the blushing bride did admit she's currently in the process of learning to speak German so she could surprise her European fiancé on their special day. 'Ben's family are going to be doing speeches in German. It's a very multicultural wedding.' The brunette beauty added that Ben's European family had experienced a hilarious misunderstanding due to her strict Aussie dress code rule. 'There was no thongs footwear invite confusion! I was mortified to think that half of his family thought I meant G-strings.' Most Aussies call flip-flops thongs, which are not often worn at weddings. The long-distance couple, who recently celebrated their two-year relationship anniversary, use WhatsApp to text while the 33-year-old soccer goalkeeper lives internationally, and Brittany resides in her native Australia. They often do not see each other in-person for several months due to living on different continents. The pair met in November 2022 on the celebrity dating app Raya and at the time, the goalkeeper's soccer team, the Glasgow-based Celtic FC, was playing in Australia against Sydney FC. They often split their time between Australia and Scotland, where Benjamin currently lives, but Ben has plans to relocate to Australia after they are wed. In December, Brittany whipped her fans into a frenzy after they noticed a telling detail in a photo, which hints she may have secretly married. The KIIS FM presenter shared a gallery of sweet photos to Instagram which captured her putting on a loved-up display with her Swiss footballer partner. Brittany and her hunky partner were all smiles in the pictures as they celebrated the holiday season together and spent quality time with her baby niece. Eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice that Brittany was wearing a gold ring around her ring finger and speculated she and Ben may already be married. 'i'm sorry but i can't help but notice the two rings on your engagement finger?! Melting,' one follower wrote. 'Me tooooo,' a second person added and a third chipped in: 'Also here for this.'
