A few things we cover:
💜 A relatable and hilarious dating history then eventually a blind date that worked out.
💜 A very sweet farm proposal.
💜 Navigating immense grief alongside celebration.
💜 Looking for venues, doing the math, and how they changed plans from an NZ to a Bali wedding.
💜 Having Amy’s favourite photographer and makeup artist join them from NZ and why it’s always worth putting it out there to NZ vendors.
💜 The experience of planning a wedding from overseas and what was key in making it so easy.
💜 An excessively hot wedding day, lots of sweat, pool dips and some hilarious moments, including a near miss with a coconut.
💜 Honouring those who have passed on the day.
💜 The price comparison between and NZ and Bali wedding.
💜 Having a holiday honeymoon with all your loved ones.
💜 The importance of a marriage, focusing on all that really matters, and not getting caught up in the details.
