Tell us a little about yourselves, what you do, what you love, what is unique about you and your relationship…
Adrian & I both grew up in different towns & different styles of life. He grew up in the hustle & bustle of Auckland & I in the slow paced coastal town – Waipu.
The day we met was the day we were almost inseparable. Adrian is the clarity to my over thinking, & I, the funny bone to his old man grumps. Our humour is like long lost friends who have found each other from past lifetimes, we spend hours laughing at/with each other.
We are proud parents to Trigger our grumpy cat who we all think is a little strange & Gus – Our pug who enjoys short walks, long naps & going anywhere & everywhere with you as long as it’s in between your feet.
Owning an auto parts company. We enjoy motorsport together, we share passion for cars, Adrian loves building them I like driving them. Although his taste is not always on the same page as mine. There aren’t many girls that can spend a day in a garage and really enjoy it!
Tell us about your special day, was there a specific theme or style? Tell us a little about the setting, the styling and some of your favourite details…
I had in my head while planning – elegant/simple/effective. I love simplicity but details that pack a punch.
I spent a fair few months preparing flora for tables, bouquets & altar, along with seating charts, to wedding invites. My blood boils with anything creative! I couldn’t really pick a favourite thing.
Tell us about your main outfits:
I had a strong vision in mind & lost HOURS of sleep over it all coming together. To my pleasant surprise, My dream came true! I wanted a cut edge look, sharp fitted suits down to my much loved earth colours. My dress I found online 10 months prior – Ordered & hoped like hell I had that WOW moment for it being the only dress I ever tried on.
What were some of the most memorable/unique moments from the day?
Falling in love all over again seeing Adrian’s reaction to me walking down the aisle. (it’s my most valued moment in ANY wedding). It’s a testimonial to how much he cares for me. I don’t know how I managed to keep it together!
I wish I could have experienced “the most glamourous day of my life” a little longer. We were lucky enough to have a dry ceremony, but on our way to photos – The sky was giving us the biggest amount of luck on our wedding day possible. I am not a girl to let a little…. Or A LOT of rain ruin my day. Leaving my glamorous feels somewhere running down the cliff top & breaking the water tight seal of my train on the rocks, it was an experience I will never forget.
Any advice for other couples planning to spend the rest of their lives together?
It will be the biggest rollercoaster you’ve ever been on. Get on and enjoy the ride! Feel every emotion – Laugh at every joke – Remember you’re marrying your soul mate, not organising a “PERFECT” day
Expect things to go wrong!
