Kane & Tami met through a mutual friend once in early 2006 when they were 20 years of age, but didn't have much to do with each other. In early 2007 they met again at a local pub and decided to go on a date.  They got on so well, 4 months later they were living together. Then November 5th 2008 they welcomed their beautiful daughter Mia Jane into the world.

The proposal will never be forgotten -  it was a month after Mia was born - December 6th 2008 (her first smile was on this day also!) and they were staying at Yeppoon. Tami was an exhausted first time mum.  Kane said “Come on babe, leave Mia with mum.  I'm taking you to the beach for half an hour, you need a break  ... When they got to the beach, Tam  noticed within the first five minutes Kane was smoking like a chimney, nervously shaking.  Tam said “What's your deal?” And with a smoke hanging out of Kane’s mouth, he pulled a ring out of his pocket and said "Will you marry me?"  Tam was in shock!!!  Of course she said yes.

Kane's a man's man, so to this day they still laugh about how much he was shaking with a smoke hanging out of his mouth.

After the wedding day they had always dreamed of they stayed on the Gold Coast for their honeymoon. They did a lot of relaxing, went to Dreamworld, to the firing range and shot the biggest guns they could find, and went deep sea fishing.

Tam said “It's different being called a wife, but different in a good way! Need to get used to having a different last name though.”
