Musician Paul Fisher and his model partner Chloe Chapman’s destination Balinese wedding went from the best day of their lives to the saddest following the death of Chapman’s elderly grandmother.

Local surfers including Mick Fanning, Joel Parkinson and Laura Enever were among the many Sydneysiders who jetted to Indonesia to watch the pair tie the knot last week.

However, just a couple of days after the couple’s perfect wedding, Chapman’s grandmother tragically passed away.

“The past 24 hours has been the toughest to date and this in itself is the toughest post I’ve had to write,” Chapman wrote on her Instagram page alongside images of their Balinese ceremony.

“Grandma travelled from Australia to Bali to watch me, her eldest and first grandchild to walk down the aisle on behalf of her and my Poppa, who was unfit for travel.

“This past week has truly been one of the happiest weeks of her life, spending it with her nearest and dearest, the smile on her face is one I will never forget … unfortunately yesterday she took a turn and we were unable to get her to the hospital in time before her beautiful body let go.”

I am forever grateful that you got to see me walk down the isle to marry my soulmate. That in itself is the most special memory I have.”
