Tell us a little about yourselves, what you do, what you love
Stephen grew up on the Isle of Wight in the United Kingdom. He worked in international development before moving to Aotearoa New Zealand. We run a business that makes finding small-medium size charities easier.
Romi: I’m a theatre director and producer, and love gardening and reading. Edden is an animator, works in customer service, and loves drawing and gaming. We both initially connected through our art forms — performance and animation. This blossomed into a shared love of many things, such as nature, animated films, authenticity and building our life together.

From high school sweethearts to husband and wife, we’ve been together for a decade. Jesse works as a resident doctor and Vivien is a tax advisor at medical devices manufacturer Fisher & Paykel Healthcare.
A celebrant and a sommelier: we fit together like yin and yang. We met in 2014, when I slung open the door to a Bondi restaurant called Fat Ruperts for my first shift as the new waitress. Sean, the manager, says that’s when he first laid eyes on the love of his life. I needed a little more convincing.Â

Charl and I met when we were quite young. Ridiculously enough it was at schoolies week but we would never have met if Charl didn’t already know my best friend Hannah who introduced us. We then went our separate ways and didn’t start dating for another year after we met. We then endured a long 3 years of long distance while navigating university and living on college.
One of my favourite details was my bouquet: my favourite flowers cascading down, and a small picture of my father pinned to them, so he was always close to me.
Charles is of New Zealand and English descent and I am of New Zealand and Spanish descent, so our beautiful and COVID-sized wedding was a mix of Spanish/European styling with modern Kiwi paired back simplicity.

We have been together for 5 years and love travelling, coffee and our 2 miniature dachshunds Sadie and Stella. I am a beauty therapist and have worked in the industry for over 10 years and Matt is a miner so you can say opposites attract.
Thushan is an airport planning consultant and Meera is a lawyer. We met three years ago, with a little help from technology when I had just moved to London from Melbourne. What was meant to be one afternoon drink turned into a nine-hour date.Â

I’m a very measured and planned person, whereas Brad is much more relaxed and laid back. We are quite different people but we balance each other out. We really are each other’s best friends.

We are both from the northern beaches, Sydney News South Wales. We grew up around the corner of each other but only met once in our twenties.

A tinder success story, we met in 2013 not long after I moved from Brisvegas (Brisbane, QLD) to the big smoke in Sydney. We lead very different lives professionally, Adrian’s a criminal prosecutor and I’m a reality television editor, which certainly makes for some light and shade when we tell work stories over a glass of red at the end of the day!
