It’s been a while since I blogged some of the fabulous weddings I have had the priviledge to officiate

Julia and Reiner eloped from Germany and chose a wild windy wonderful day to exchange their Vows on a deserted Muriwai beach.

Adie and Dixie's Civil Union

Adie and Dixie's Celebration

 Adie and Dixie celebrated their Civil Union on their fabulous property with many friends , family members and their dogs.  
Hats were a theme, so of course there had to be a ‘hat toss’ photo – Wonderful!

Peta with Vanessa and Warren at Gracehill

Vanessa and Warren  shared a very special autumn day at lovely Gracehill. A lovely touch was having their adult children as attendents.

Shelley and Olly at Kumeu Valley Estate

Shelley and Oliver looked resplendent at their wedding at Kumeu Valley Estate, where they shared  their proposal story and words of love.

Neil and Katriona

Neil and Katriona had a warm family wedding at their Helensville home. Everyone pitched in to make it a happy memorable day.

Toni, Mike and the kids

Back in Helensville again, it truely was a family affair at Toni and Mike’s special wedding. Surrounded by their 10 children and families, this relaxed couple, shared a unique and magical day.

Unique 'woodgrain' ring

I absolutey loved the rings Toni and Mike exchanged. They were made by Toni’s sister Vaune Mason, a Wellington jeweller. Check out Vaune’s link. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.360674467310008.90004.139704912740299&type=3

After seeing hundreds of wedding rings exchanged over the years, I have to say these were extremely unique. 
Three colours of gold are blended together so the texture looks like wood grain. I’m told this method was historically used to decorate samurai swords – very unique and beautiful

 

My warmest congratulations to these wonderful couples (and their families) for making their special days both unique and wonderful.
It has been a priviledge to be part of your big day!
