THE LOVE STORY
"We met at my house warming as he played football with my flatmate at the time. I refused to speak to him that night (I was being stubborn and wasn't looking for anything). He persevered and messaged me on Facebook the following day, we went on a date four days later and we have been inseparable ever since (five years!).
THE PROPOSAL
"It almost didn't happen. He planned a fantastic hike up the Ben Lomond trail in Queenstown. Nearing the top I almost gave up as I was EXHAUSTED and was not nearly as fit as him, I was complaining the whole time! He kept pushing me and I finally made it up top. He got down on one knee, gave a beautiful speech he had prepared and even recorded the whole thing. Safe to say I skipped back down the mountain!"
THE WEDDING
Church - St Matthews in the City
Reception - Allely Estate, Kumeu
"It was unique to us as we incorporated a traditional church ceremony that was followed by a garden reception."
THE BRIDESMAIDS
"I had four bridesmaids, one was my childhood friend who flew here from South Africa with her four month old baby! My three other bridesmaids are my best friends whom have been by my side since I arrived in NZ."
THE DRESSES
"They all felt so comfortable and confident. I let the bridesmaids all choose their own style, as woman we all have different bodies and I wanted THEM to feel confident on the day!"
