Chelsie– Jordan is a graphic designer and photographer, and I work in marketing. People always ask what it’s like working on projects together but we wouldn’t have it any other way. We met at a mutual friend’s party nine years ago. I felt an instant calm as soon as I met Jordan. Our interests and values were aligned.

My good friend is married to Aimee’s cousin and organised a barbecue double date in a cunning attempt to set us up. Aimee didn’t realise what was at play until I texted her later that evening to ask her out for dinner.
We were best friends before we fell in love. What defined our friendship was the profound respect we had for each other and the genuine joy we found in each other’s company. Our friendship grew, and eventually, we fell in love.

Mattie and I both grew up in New Plymouth and have stayed put. We brought our first home here a few years ago with plans to slowly renovate and eventually start a family in. We have a cat Frank, who absolutely runs the house and a golden lab, Marnie who is our little baby and she knows it! We are both very social people and love a good time. We adore our friends and family and are so grateful to be surrounded by our amazing people.
Alysia and I are kindred souls and spirits. We immediately clicked after meeting and our relationship felt so easy right away. It helps that we’re always laughing together.

We’re a couple of homebodies mainly. Nat is a nurse and I am in the Army so we fit a certain stereotype on paper that doesn’t necessarily match us as people. The last few years have shown how the status quo can be upended and that feels relatable on some level. We love just spending time together, either running and cycling outdoors or curling up at home with the kids, cats and a movie.
