“I was still in high school and Tom was a bit older than me, but from first sight we both knew there was something different about each other. We knew it would be a bit weird to start dating while I was still in school, so, ballsy 17 year old me marched up to tom and told him if he waited 18 months for me he could take me on our first date.”

I’m a property stylist by profession, so I love anything to do with styling and interiors. Mason (wearing the black trousers) owns and runs his own electrical business. We’ve known each for a long time as Mason and my younger brother James attended prep school together.

We come from similar but different cultural backgrounds. I’m a mix of Armenian and English, and Michael’s family is Middle Eastern. Our unique connection is that our families both hail from cities in Israel. Michael works as a startup manager in a state government agency. He’s a real people person. I’m a doctor, still in specialty training – I also love to help people, but in a different way. Our careers and days are quite disparate, but we celebrate our differences.

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

Rebecca- Sam and I are born and raised in Auckland. I am a flight Attendant and Sam is an Electrician with his own business, some would say we are active relaxers. We both love to get away when we get the chance, anywhere near the beach is our happy place.

“We met at a restaurant in Parnell, I don’t think there was a definitive moment I knew Nick was my person, when we met we just sort of became inseparable – we moved in together after three months of knowing one another and ended up buying an apartment together after three months of living with one another, I think both of these things were out of character for both of us. It sounds very cliché but I think the saying ‘when you know, you know’ is very true.”
