We met in a bar on a Friday night. Tom was with his colleagues, and I was out with a girlfriend for a few
cocktails. I thought Tom was incredibly handsome, and confident. We hit it off immediately, talking for
hours. He’s charming, witty, and incredibly fun. That was about 5 1/2 years ago now.
I got down on one knee and said, ‘Seven years ago, we made a wish we’d be together forever. Today, I want to make that wish finally come true. I love you, Becka. Will you marry me?’ We then had a day of beach hopping and champagne and a couple’s massage on the roof terrace. We didn’t want anything fussy or too colourful for our wedding. We love simple, chic and rustic looks. Our venue was a 19th-century finca at the foot of the Sierra de Tramontana mountains, surrounded by almond, carob and olive trees.
Sarah — Having recently returned from a stint overseas, we now live in Auckland. I work for a leading New Zealand wine company and Rory has a background in finance and works for a commercial property fund manager.
Our story began like so many modern romances do, with a swipe right. Tim had actually ‘super-liked’ me, and I was pleasantly surprised to see such a handsome guy, as I usually didn’t find many on the app. We were both in our mid-20s, living in share houses on opposite sides of Brisbane. Tim wasted no time and asked me out on a date in our first few messages. I appreciated his directness and lack of mind games, and we met for lunch at a halfway point not long after. From the moment we met, there was an undeniable connection. Tim’s charming Kiwi accent certainly didn’t hurt either. Our lunches quickly turned into dinners, and soon we were spending entire weekends together, knowing that we had found something truly special.
Although originally from outside NYC, we’ve both lived in Brooklyn for over a decade. We love the energy here. We’re constantly out and about. There’s always so much to do and to see here. I work in production and was formerly an event producer (which came in handy while planning a wedding) and Anthony works in advertising.
I don’t think there was a specific time in our lives that I knew he was my person, but rather it was just a realisation over time that I didn’t want to do life with anyone else.
To don a wedding veil or not? Such a delightful dilemma! Is this cherished tradition gracefully transitioning into the realm of modern elegance?
Wes & I met at work in 2018 at Red Bull. Wes was the cool guy at work that I could not help but be drawn to, he seemed like he could be a bit of trouble and I couldn’t help myself.
The first time we hung out was after a work function & we ended up chatting until 4 am at the establishment. I remember thinking wow we get along. I denied my crush & continued to refer to Wes as my ‘work friend’ until I had to come clean, and he was upgraded to Boyfriend.
CM: I’m originally from a small farming town in Central California. Life eventually helped me make my way to Sacramento. JP: I grew up in the college town of Davis, just outside of Sacramento. My parents were business owners, opening an Italian deli and speciality foods shop.
Our first date was at a golfing range. I loved that Reece suggested something different, not the usual drink and dinner.
The new collections at SLOW focus on coveted quality and conscious design
Working Style, who you likely know as one of New Zealand’s most established menswear brands also has a feminine side which we are starting to see appear more and more in the world of wedding and occasion.
