What the world needs now is love, sweet love, and Trent and Olivia Burgess might be pretty good ambassadors for Valentine’s Day.
The couple have been together for 15 years, married for three and co-own a business in Werribee.
“Olivia was a bartender at a local pub and I was there having a few drinks in Ballarat,” Mr Burgess said.
“To be honest, what I like most is how she drives me about my work and my career.”
Teamwork certainly seems to be the dreamwork, according to Ms Burgess.
“I think for me, we are not just husband and wife,” she said.
“We are friends first– we enjoy each other and always have.
“We always say we are a team.“
They were asked if they could impart any advice to budding couples who want to stand by each other for the long term.
“For me communication and respect are key, two equal hearts make one,” she said.
Away from the hustle and bustle of running a tattoo studio together, the couple have two children that keep them busy.
Like many true romances, this one is represented by a favourite song that the pair first danced to and frequently reprise.
In this case, it is I Want to Grow Old With You from The Wedding Singer, a classic Adam Sandler movie.
