In an exclusive interview with 9Entertainment, Tahnee and Ollie were pleased to report they've already made the big move and Ollie was even happier to reveal they weren't living in Tahnee's tiny Bondi studio apartment.

"We're not in the studio anymore because clearly everyone had something to say about where I was living," Tahnee joked.

With Ollie hauling his life from Perth to Sydney to be with Tahnee he admitted there's been a bit of adjusting to life on the east coast.

"What I don't think I love about New South Wales is that it is intense," he said.

"I keep saying to Tahnee, everybody seems like they're 10 minutes late whereas everyone in Perth acts as if they've got 20 minutes up their sleeve."

But it's not all bad news with the groom adding he's a big fan of all the shopping variety in Sydney.

She added that Ollie had quite the bromance with Rupert and the friends "call each other like twice a day".

"It's nice having that kind of relationship with everyone because we never really had any beef or any issue with anyone so I think we're really quite neutral compared to some other people," she said.
