Nick is a retail store manager and I work in finance. We love dining out, collecting art and spending time with loved ones (including our beautiful greyhound Rusty). We went to brother/sister schools and knew each other’s friends but didn’t meet each other until a party in year 12.

Elliott and I actually went to school together – primary and secondary, so we’ve known each other a long time! We first dated in high school (year 11) for a whole 63 days (we know because Elliott kept a diaryfrom the time!). Five years after that, after going on an overseas trip together with another friend, we got back to Australia and gave it another go!

Tell us a little about yourselves, what you do, what you love…

Ryan and I have been together for 8 years now, We both started our own business in Whangarei after returning from living in whistler, Canada where we spent most of our time skiing. We have three furry babies and have recently built our forever home together.

I’m an arts therapist in private practice and Craig is a sense rugby coach and learning support assistant at a special school. True to modern romance, we met online and liked each other straight away. We’ve been together for six years and we live in Canberra with our little pooch, Bambi, who was our ring bearer in our wedding (he even had a custom-made suit).
