Star 1063 has teamed up with The Hoi Events & Functions to give one Townsville couple a Second Chance Wedding – a full, unforgettable celebration and a once in a lifetime chance to relive their day exactly as it was always meant to be.

Introducing Mark and Tara

A love story that proves sometimes the best chapters come after the hardest ones. Their journey started long before they ever became a couple, with Mark growing up best friends with Tara’s brother. In 2006, a prank phone call from Tara sparked something neither of them expected – endless conversations, plenty of laughs, and the start of a connection that turned into marriage in 2007. Life eventually tested them, and after years together they separated in 2024. But time apart only brought clarity. After nine months, they found their way back to each other, realising their story wasn’t finished yet. Now, with their children by their side, Mark and Tara say this isn’t just about being in love – it’s about choosing each other every day. Their Second Chance Wedding is about rebuilding, forgiveness, friendship, and celebrating a love that never truly let go.

Their big day is now being brought to life thanks to The Hoi Events & Functions & local businesses in Townsville – a full celebration of everything they missed the first time, and everything they’ve rebuilt since.
