After about a year of nervous and awkward chatting online, we started to hang out after school and a fairly serious crush emerged. I was pretty besotted with him! Ben asked me if I’d like to be official and I was so overwhelmed that I replied “maybe”. However it was a short-lived maybe, and it … Read more
I saw Eric around our little wee town and boldly bought him a bag of lollies (mildly creepy). A week later, he bought me a bag of lollies in return. We’ve been inseparable since.
Our sunset boat cruise was super picturesque but what you didn’t see is the bride, myself and the photographer (Sarah) taking turns almost falling into the Amalfi coast several times due to a windy day. It was a great time and brought out lots of laughter between us!
We finally arrived at the vineyard and I tried to discretely grab the ring box and put it in my pocket, BUT Rachel saw it and then proceeded to touch up her make-up in the car (in anticipation). We then walked towards the vineyard with Rachel laughing hysterically all the way, so I had to … Read more
We arrived at a small rocky beach and we began searching for interesting rocks to take with us, when Seb called out, “Hey I found a cool one over here!” He got down on one knee on the rocky beach and we both felt super nervous — even though we both knew what was coming!
After dinner on our final night, I knew something was on Scott’s mind, so when we got back to our Airbnb, I just said, “If you want to ask me, just ask. I don’t need a perfect moment.” He got down on one knee, I said yes, and it was actually really special.
We did hit it off but instantly became the best of friends up until the sweet age of seventeen where both we as well as the rest of our friends and family started to realise it was rather a unique “friendship”. We tried, we tested and we’ve never looked back since!
My memory & first impression of Liam will always be “who is this dead chatty, dreamy blue-eyed English guy that made it almost impossible for me to ignore” and clearly a part of me didn’t want to.
“Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley somehow managed to sneak onto the playlist as our first dance song. There were a few laughs and some closet Rick Astley fans rushing to the dancefloor from the crowd, however we managed to quickly change it back to the planned song “Sail Away” by David Gray … Read more
I was never one for big weddings so I knew pretty early on that I wanted something small that just focused on the two of us. We had talked about taking a trip to Spain before the pandemic hit and one day walking to breakfast we came up with the idea of finally taking that … Read more
We wanted a big party and didn’t want to bore our guests with a slow first dance so we actually snuck away for a private first dance as the sun was setting. It was just Hannah, myself, our photographer and a little handheld speaker, tucked away in a quiet corner of the property.
We have always envisioned our wedding to be a mix of the two cultures we have been brought up in, both Kiwi and Sri Lankan. Although a traditional kiwi-styled ceremony, we incorporated cultural touches such as our bridesmaids wearing sarees and having a traditional Sri Lankan oil lamp ceremony and Sri Lankan dancers at the … Read more
