When we first met, our first conversation was about purpose driven businesses and storytelling to create change, which pretty much sets the stage for how we desire to live life: intentionally and inclusively.

We met as advisors to Ministers in the Beehive. We started off as colleagues but it wasn’t long before we fell head over heels in love with each other. Josh secured a new job within the first few months of our relationship so we no longer worked together but we ended up being colleagues again during the peak of New Zealand’s COVID-19 response as we were both seconded to policy unit during lockdown. Professionally we really enjoyed working together but we enjoy being husband and wife even more!

Minal & I met three years ago on a dating app. Minal is originally from London and had been living here in the years prior. When we first met neither of us were seeking any long term relationship but there was definitely a spark from the beginning.

I am a teacher at a wonderful primary school and I love laughing and being in a classroom of kids with no inhibitions or filters! Those students honestly keep me so grounded and remind me to really appreciate the little things in life. Kids don’t get caught up in the things that we do as adults and I have the best job.
Tell us how you meet each other?
We met through mutual friends in 2015 and from the start we really enjoyed our conversations with one another. We remained casual friends over the next few years and started to date seriously in 2019. When we first met each other there was a curiosity to know more of the other and there was definitely a question for both of us whether the other would be someone of significance.

A complete set-up by our family! I (Laura) was having dinner at Vince’s Brothers/Sister-in-laws place, as I was friends with his sister-in-law (lived next to my parents). We were having a girl’s night when Vince rocked up unannounced to fix a plumbing issue in the bathroom, his Dachshund Dolly in tow to break the ice and to start the conversation.

Matthew and I met 6 years ago at the back of the local rugby club (as romantic as it can get). I was then persuaded to go on a date with him after he sent flowers to the school I taught at and the rest is now history.

Dan and I met in high school, we weren’t exactly your high school crush kind of story, instead I liked Dan a lot and he didn’t seem to notice. We both went off to university and quickly after I moved home he asked a friend how long he should wait to ask me out, it was the best decision he ever made haha.

John and I met 10 years ago at a mutual friend’s house. At the time, I thought John looked like such a bad boy with his shaved head, but he turned out to be a darling.
