The Wedding of Mike & Loysh
Welcome
Michael James Batt
& Lisa Melanie Cartmer (Loysh)
Our love story is written by God. We believe He planned all along for us to first meet in 2024 when volunteering at a Christian event on the Gold Coast called 'Easter United (Eu24).
On the 30th of November 2024 Loysh called for a production meeting with a group of volunteers for the event to come that following April 2025. We were talking all things 'Audio/Visual' for the upcoming Easter event which was at the Broadwater Parklands attracting up to 7,000 Christians and locals from the community. Loysh was the Production Manager and Mike was the Vision Producer for the event.
Inspired by 'all things production', they attended the Mayor's Christmas Carols to see how they ran all the big screens , audio and overall production. Not only did the event have fireworks.... some other sparks were happening!
Loysh reached out after the Carols event and on the 13th December we had our first unofficial date watching For King & Country's' Little Drummer Boy' movie and enjoyed getting to know each other over dinner. An official date followed before Christmas and the rest is history!
Faith brought us together and our love makes us stronger while keeping Christ at the centre.
Did you know?
The name 'Loysh' is actually a nickname. For the wedding ceremony, the legal name of 'Lisa Melanie Cartmer' will be used for Loysh.
Fun Fact: Over 20 years ago, Lisa was in a Church connect group where she knew some Danish people. They couldn't pronounce the 's' in Lisa and it sounded like 'Loysha'... it became a bit of a household name in the group and then abbreviated to 'Loysh'. The only people who call her Lisa are family and a few friends before the nickname existed.
Lisa introduces herself as 'Loysh'... unless needing to use her legal name.
