How It All Started
Tupp & Lexi met at the 2018 CMC Rocks QLD.
Lexi and one of her best friends Anna were enjoying the QLD Sunshine, and being from the south, the girls were ill prepared for the heat and sought shade at the Ladies Tent. Apparently so did everyone else at the event, so after foolishly trying to find an open table the girls resorted to hiding behind the tent in the feeble shade provided by the structure.
Tupp, seeing the lovely ladies struggling, walked over and offered them a reprieve asking if the heat stricken ladies would like to join them on their table, they had free seats. He escorted Lexi and Anna back to the table and proceeded to shout the drinks.
We are sure that Tupp was blissfully unaware of the future consequences of his actions that day.
Lexi’s favourite line was Tupp’s introduction: “Hi I’m Simon Tupper…like Tupperware” Lexi laughed, and the rest is history.

Ceremony
Please RSVP by 10th February, 2024
Dress Code
The dress code for the wedding will be sophisticated yet celebratory.
Be prepared for plenty of grass and a short walk to the ceremony location.
Think Polo Club meets Derby Day.
Gentleman, if you're still looking for guidance, if you are going casual pants (jeans) make sure you wear a tie and a sports coat/dinner jacket. If your wearing dress pants, feel free to drop the tie!
Ladies, keep an eye on the weather, you may want to bring a coat/shall/jacket. I would also strongly advise that only seasoned veterans try to tackle the farm in stilettos.
