WHERE FOREVER BEGAN
The next chapter of our story was inspired by one of our earliest magical moments together, a secluded glowworm cave at Poukura Marae, a hidden place known only to those who know where to find it.
On 15 December 2025, we found ourselves once again surrounded by the remarkable glow of countless glowworms. Beneath what felt like a galaxy of tiny lights in the Waipu Caves, the words “Will you marry me?” echoed from the cave walls, followed by the answer that would begin our next chapter: “Yes.”
The lights, the darkness, and the stillness of that moment have become an enduring part of our story and continue to inspire many of the themes that represent our love.
THE WEDDING
