The event at Moonshiners Bar featured games, raffles, auctions, and live music by Kyle Cartner.

"The music and atmosphere was amazing," she said.
"We were a little disappointed with the crowd, but we still feel so damn lucky for everyone who has supported us."
Friend and event co-organiser Shannon Sheumack said: "It was a beautiful afternoon and she really did enjoy herself."
"She was so grateful to the people who showed up."
