Congratulations Mr and Mrs Baker

Jessica Cochrane married John Baker in Rainbow Beach last month

Jessica Cochrane married John Baker in Rainbow Beach last month

Long time locals Annette and Geoff Cochrane were delighted to celebrate the wedding of their eldest daughter, Jessica, to John Baker.

After an 18-month romance,  the couple were wed by local celebrant Zaneta Fitzgerald at 4pm, Saturday February 18 on the headland at Phil Rogers Park – with photos on the beach afterwards.

The Rainbow Beach Community Hall was beautifully decorated for the couple – including wooden decorations that John had crafted. A catered wedding banquet and live music set the tone for a fun night.

130 guests have arrived in Rainbow Beach from Ulladulla, Noosa, Sydney.

The couple will live in Gympie – Jessica works for Sarina Russo and John installs and repairs in refrigeration and air conditioning.

Jessica attended school in Rainbow Beach, Tin Can Bay and Downlands in Toowoomba. Jess returned to Rainbow Beach and worked at the Skydive and caravan park (managed by family).

Younger daughter Karly from Brisbane was a bridesmaid. With three attendants each, also in the bridal party was Jessica’s 6-year-old son, Bailey.

On a side note – Annette says Bailey is a true blue Rainbow Beach boy. How many people can say they are born IN Rainbow Beach? Bailey was delivered on the doctor’s table by Dr David Smith!

The couple plan a honeymoon with family and friends  to Thailand in May. About 30 people will enjoy the trip with the newlyweds.
