The couple planned to marry at the British consulate, which used to be one of the only legal options for LGBTQ couples if they wanted to marry in Australia.

"It was the longest ten minutes of our lives and Amy cried when they said yes. It was so wonderful," Price told the news outlet.
The couple married in front of more than 60 people, after being engaged to each other for two years.

"You don't choose who you fall in love with, at the end of the day, Elise was the perfect person for me," Amy told 7 News.
