The Bride Tammy Hocking DOB: June 6, 1978 Tammy was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia. She has had a strong love of art (cartoons in particular) since she was a child, and this developed into her current profession as a graphic artist. She graduated from Footscray City Secondary College and then went on to complete a four-year apprenticeship with Community News (a local newspaper), studying at RMIT. Since meeting Matt and his family, she has been fortunate enough to spend much of her time in the United States, particularly in Green Bay, Wisconsin. As a result, she is now a fan of the Green Bay Packers and the Nebraska Cornhuskers (the Roses are originally from Nebraska). Ironically, it took Matt to warm her to AFL; she is now a loyal Essendon Bombers fan. She enjoys animation, website design, drawing, music (she helps produce her sister Deborah's albums on the side!) and golf. She also has a passion for cats, both big and small. << Back to Bridal Party
