“We met at a restaurant in Parnell, I don’t think there was a definitive moment I knew Nick was my person, when we met we just sort of became inseparable – we moved in together after three months of knowing one another and ended up buying an apartment together after three months of living with one another, I think both of these things were out of character for both of us. It sounds very cliché but I think the saying ‘when you know, you know’ is very true.”
We are bringing back an edit of our top-performing real weddings from the TJ archives. These are our very best weddings that our audience has loved the most, and the ones we think are still very relevant and aspirational.
Evan and I met in Europe, ended up staying in the same hostel in Berlin, and discovered we were both from Perth. Often when travelling, you chat and then never see them again, but some months later, we both happened to be at the Raffles Hotel in Applecross.

I am an audiologist and Sai is an engineer. We both come from very different upbringings and when we were first getting to know each other we realised we are very very different people. Having those differences has made our relationship pretty exciting. I really love baking and, after styling our wedding, I’d really love to get into that a bit more! Sai loves boxing and is a devoted Carlton supporter (poor thing).
Bonnie: We love spending time together, exploring and camping, being outdoors and especially activities that involve bouldering – one of our favourite things to do! I’m a paramedic and Jimmy is a landscaper and we’re equally passionate about our careers.

I met Tim when I was working at Jimmy’s Pies in Roxburgh during the summer. Tim came in on his way through town and started up a conversation. By chance, we met a second time when we were both back in Dunedin, and started dating.
“On a quiet path overlooking the pond, I used the time-tested line that ‘I needed to tie my shoe laces’ and got down on one knee. The first person to congratulate us was a dog walker who had seen the proposal and kindly took some photos for us; we then went to one of the hotels that line Hyde Park for bubbles to celebrate.”
We’re both 31 years old and living our best lives in Amsterdam. We share a great passion for traveling and have made quite the list of memorable experiences together, from hiking through mountain passes in China and taking salsa classes (quite awkwardly) in Colombia to sharing a cup of camel milk on the highlands of Kazakhstan.

J. I am enthusiastic, bubbly, and passionate, while Nic is steady, calm and thoughtful. Together we are the perfect balance and make a great team. We love to drink coffee and go on adventures, and even better when the adventure involves coffee. We’ve been renovating our house for the last 15 months, so it has been a busy year alongside wedding planning and lockdown restrictions.

We both live pretty chaotic lifestyles – along the lines of Grey’s Anatomy! We are both doctors working at a big city hospital – Anthony works in Infectious Diseases so COVID has kept him occupied in the last years. Josh works in Cardiology – so when Anthony is having a break from the frontline and is finally ready to relax – Josh is most likely working on the next heart attack. Time off together though rare, is special and always cherished.

Karan works in IT, and I’m an events planner. He’s super laid back, and I’m a details person. So safe to say opposites attract. We have a mutual love of travelling and spicy food. Most of our spare time involves trying new dishes that we share with friends and family, reminiscing about travels across Asia – and planning for the next trip, and doing projects on our new old home that we love.

Jase is a farmer and manages the sheep and beef station we live on here in the beautiful Wairarapa. I’m a chronic university student (I say chronic because it’s been 5 years and I’m yet to escape) exploring agriculture and environmental science.
“Our style has always been less-is-more and we extended that approach to our wedding. For us, the wedding was really all about the people and anything more than that was a bonus.”
