Kirsty and Amber Sayers-Hunt met when they were both living in WA's Pilbara region and only one of them was openly gay. Nineteen years and one child later they were married at their home in the Northern Territory town of Humpty Doo and had to kick out the last of the guests weeks later.

Amber: We officially met at a Baby Animals concert. We went back to my brother's house. That was kind of the first time I think we ever talked.
I'd come out to my folks, but I was living in a mining town, in Port Hedland, so you can only be so out there.
Kirsty was a friend of a gay friend. Within that community there are untouchables. Untouchables are the girlfriends or friends of gay people who aren't gay. So I didn't really have that kind of attraction straight away. I stuck to the rules.
Just before I left Port Hedland, Kirsty sent me a rose and put her phone number on it. It was about three weeks before I left Port Hedland and I was like, you're joking, all this time!
