I’m originally from Slovenia and Nico is from New Zealand but we both love big cities and central London has been home for us for many years now. We’re very different, but together we make sense. We have different tastes in music and we always argue about movie selections, but we have never had a disagreement about our values or future goals.
Stanley and I are quite different which can be challenging; he is logical and detailed, whereas my mind is filled with crazy ideas and I am always looking for a shortcut because I am so lazy. We don’t always work well together but we try and learn from our differences and influence each other in positive ways.
We’re both active people with far too many hobbies — boating, golf, fishing and beekeeping. If Tom heads off hunting, I’ll spend the weekend doing yoga. Tom is currently training for his private pilot’s licence, so that will open up some new adventures for us.
We’ve just recently returned to New Zealand after spending the most incredible past 4 years living and working in London, which is where we based ourselves to travel the world. We are both travel mad and all of our wedding day styling, food and ideas were inspired from our adventures together.
Patryk and I met each other at a wedding, and as soon as I saw him, I knew he would be my husband. We decided to move in together after one month of knowing each other and by the end of the second month, we were engaged. Patryk had ordered a handmade engagement ring that he planned on proposing with in the evening, but when the courier arrived, I was so curious about what was inside the parcel that Patryk decided to get down on one knee right then and there. Although I was very surprised, I didn’t hesitate to say a big yes.
We met at a coffee shop in Carlsbad, California. James proposed one morning in bed when I woke up, the morning of my birthday. The day of the wedding was clear, cool, gorgeous. It was an absolutly epic, beautiful day. Then the ceremony started and it began to rain.
Te Miri and I first met at my flat in Wellington eight years ago, in the wee hours of the morning. He thought he was visiting a guy’s home with one of my friends, but when I opened the door – in my knickers – he realised ‘Bailey’ was in fact a female.
Dejan and I first met while at university 13 years ago and fell in love a couple of years later when we found ourselves in the same department, sitting at the same table every day. We’ve been together for over 11 years now and have experienced a lot together, including the birth of our little girl Emma, who we think is perfect.
About two years before our engagement, Jassher and I were walking through the Hastings Rose Gardens and I thought he was acting a little nervous, as if there was something on the tip of his tongue. He gave me a Double Delight rose that he had illegally plucked from the gardens. It became our favourite flower.
