“Michael and I met through mutual friends. We decided to meet up for dinner at Jervois Steak House, and it was literally love at first sight. I told him, “We should get married!” on our first date - well, the first time we met. Haha, he was so scared! I came on strong, but here we are now, married."

"He had a grand proposal in the works. It was everything I wanted and more. He spent a good year or two planning everything - he even designed my engagement ring himself through designers in Germany. It had a solid gold bar imported from Dubai and a hand-picked, glittering VVS flawless diamond."

"Michael organised a getaway to Queenstown with a stay at the best room at the Hilton. He said we were going to visit his friend who was proposing to his partner. He told me to be all glammed up with my nails done so I would look fabulous in photos - that’s when I knew something was up because I told him, if you ever propose, PLEASE make sure my nails are done! He planned a helicopter trip up to the Remarkables and proposed to me at the top. He had a photographer and videographer there too!"

"It was so crazy we actually went into a snap lockdown just before we were supposed to go to Queenstown. The day before our flight, we came out of lockdown! We were so lucky because he engraved the proposal date on my ring. If we were still in lockdown, he would have had to propose at home - but I still would have loved it and said yes.
We wanted a grand summer wedding, but Covid had other plans. We had our date set for 02/02/2022, and I wasn’t going to change that for anything. We still went ahead but changed our guest list to under 60 people over 120."

"Kouki Photography was incredible. I simply love him and his work. He’s an absolute joy to have on the day. His work was flawless and delivered smack bang on time didn’t even need to ask him for a follow-up."
