We met at Fort Street High School and became fast friends in year 11 and 12 in HSC PDHPE. Our teacher split the class into teams and ran a competition to try and motivate us to study. The lowest performing students got to choose their team… so Brad chose his mates Pat and Alex (who are two of the groomsmen) and Scarlett.

Our team was called “Mount Cleverest”. There were weekly quizzes and tallied exam marks throughout the whole of year 12. Mount Cleverest of course won the comp, which was no surprise given how much we enjoyed studying together 😉

Fast forward to 2012 and Brad was working in a bar so naturally Scarlett enjoyed visiting for free drinks before nights out, and when Brad clocked off work he’d sometimes give Scarlett a lift home. We had discovered our shared music taste and mutual love of festivals – cornerstones of any budding 19-year-old romance. It was after one music festival – Future Music Festival 2012 – that Brad texted Scarlett to ask her out. And the rest is history…
