In a surprise twist, the happy couple skipped romantic ballads and chose a Jay Z and Kanye West hip-hop anthem as their entrance song.

The blushing bride later slipped into a second gown by the same designer, which, like her wedding gown, also took four months to make.

Bianca and Bridgett, aka melbournestylists on Instagram, were the creative force behind the entire wedding.
