When breakfast show co-host, Max Burford returned from what the show describes as the longest honeymoon in history, this sparked Ali Clarke to arrange the quickest wedding in Adelaide as Max set her to the challenge.
Local Kapunda couple, Dylan Schmidt and Charlotte Simmons tied the knot on Monday, July 24 in what has been Adelaide’s quickest wedding after getting engaged live on The Ali Clarke Breakfast Show last Monday.
Dylan, 26, and Charlotte, 20, have been dating since December 2022 and clicked from the moment they met, with Dylan asking Charlotte to be his girlfriend on their first date.
A number of local businesses have showed their support in providing their products/services for the day, including the following:
• Lakes Resort Hotel – pre-wedding accomodation
• Faithwood Chapel – ceremony venue
• Zamels – rings
• Red Rooster – catering
• Treats by Tah – cake
• Posy Porter Flowers – flowers
• The Peaceful Nook – faux flower display
• Mioshi Park Alpacas – ring bearer
• Couture+Love+Madness – bride’s dress and veil
Port Adelaide’s, Xavier Duursma, and the Crows’, Reilly O’Brien, even walked the bride down the aisle, ahead of their showdown clash next Saturday.

In May, Ali Clarke, revealed on air to her hosts Shane Lowe and Cosi, that she visited her birth dad’s grave site.
The visit to Goodna Cemetery in Brisbane ended in grief for Ali Clarke and her mum Mary Carle, as they sadly found his unmarked grave.
Mix 102.3 listeners have been taken on a journey over the last fortnight as the Ali Clarke Breakfast Show has been working with one of Australia’s top private investigators to help her find out more about her birth father.
Ali discovered her birth father Philip Joseph McManus died, aged 39, in Brisbane in 1987, and now hopes to find any other children he may have had along with unknown aunties and uncles.
Tearful Ali said, “When you turn up to a cemetery and there are beautifully cared for plots, but then just a piece of grass for him, it is easy just to think that nobody cared.”
